A More Perfect Union by Titus Andronicus
A More Perfect Union
The first part is something like this over and over again:
e|------|
B|------|
G|------|
D|-10---|
A|-10---|
E|-8----|
The first part of the solo is something like:

version 2
The rhythm guitar mostly does different variations of these 3 chords:
(writing them all down would be redundant...just listen to the song for reference.)
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-------10-------7-------3----------------|
A|-------10-------7-------3----------------|
E|-------8--------5-------5----------------|
The lead guitar is much more complicated:
(Part 1)
The first part comes around "cuz tramps like us, baby we were born to die!"
E|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|---12--15-15--12--15--12--15--12----------------------|
D|----------------------------------15--15--15----------| x2
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|---12--15-15--12--15--12--15--12----------------------|
D|----------------------------------15--15--15--12--9-9-|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----9-12---12-12-12-12-9-----------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
Then rinse and repeat as needed. Again, listen to the song for reference. On the last
one...he holds that last 9 for a long time, then holds the 12 for a long time, then plays
the 12 again but bending it. Like thissss:
E|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----9~~~~~-----12~~~~~~----12(bend)------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
(Part 2)
Comes directly after Part 1 (I just broke it up to make it nice and easy!)
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|---12--15-15-15------| x4
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---12--15-15-15------|
D|---------------------| x4
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
Repeat those once, then move on to this:
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|---17--14-14-14------| x4
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---17--14-14-14------|
D|---------------------| x4
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
Aaaand finish that part with this:
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---17-14-17-14-17~~~-|
D|---------------------| x4
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
(Part 3)
Comes directly after Part 2...this is a bit more complicated though...
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------12----12----12-14---------------------------------|
D|---14-----------14-------12-----14--14--14--12--12/9-----|
A|-----------------------------------------------------12--|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|----12--12--12----12----12(bend)-------------------------|
D|---------------14----14----------14~~~~~~~~~~~~----------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
Repeat those again.
(Part 4)
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|-------------5~~~---5--5---------------------|
G|-----------5-------------7-5-----------------|
D|-----5---7-------------------7~~~~-----------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------12-12-12------|
G|-----7--7--7-5-7-9---7-----11-----------11---|
D|-----------------------9---------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|
Then the song slows down a little...
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|-----7--7--7-5-7-9---7-----------------------|
D|-----------------------9/10~~~~~-------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|
(Part 5)
Very long solo...you can just play rhythm over this. Once it's over, play Part 1, then
move on to Part 6!
(Part 6)
Ends like this:
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-------------12~~~~~--12~~~~~~~~-|
D|---9~~~~~~-----------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
