version 4







Tuning: Drop D
 
Hey everybody. This is my first tab. I know the song on guitar and piano so I
thought I would make a tab for the guitar.
 
E|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-----10---10---10---10---8---7---8---10----------|
G|---7----7----7----7----7---7---7---7-------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
 
If you want to play the left hand an octave lower this is it:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|-----7---7---7---7---5---4---5---7-----------|
A|---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
-
Now for the right hand:
 
E|---12--10--9---------14--14------------------|
B|--------------12--10-------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|    4
D|---------------------------------------------|  Times
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
Then
 
E|---12--10--9---------14----------------------|
B|--------------12--10-------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
The guitar (right hand piano) when he begins to sing is this:
 
E|---10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|     4
D|---------------------------------------------|   Times
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
During those 4 times the left hand piano is playing this:
 
[The above will be played with the below and the below alone then both above and
below together again... I hope that makes sense]
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|         8
D|-----0---0---0---7---0---0---0---7-----------|       Times
A|---------------------------------------------|    (Twice During
D|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------------|   The Right Hand)
 
Then when he says "This is our decision, to lift fast and die young..."
Play this (right hand piano) (this is the sweet gain)
 
E|---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------|
B|---12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
-----12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-------------------|
-----15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
-----15-15-15-15-15-15-------------------------|
-----17-17-17-17-17-17-------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
-----14-14-14--17------------------------------|
-----15-15-15--15------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
While you are playing this the left hand piano (or the second guitar player) is playing this:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---3333333333333333333333333333333333--------|  That is
G|---2222222222222222222222222222222222--------|    34
D|---0000000000000000000000000000000000--------|   Times
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
After the gain the right hand will be playing this again (1:17):
 
E|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-----10---10---10---10---8---7---8---10----------|
G|---7----7----7----7----7---7---7---7-------------|  Play
D|-------------------------------------------------|  Twice
A|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
 
Or this is if you want it an octave lower:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|  Play
D|-----7---7---7---7---5---4---5---7-----------|  Twice
A|---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
And the left hand or second guitar during this part is this:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|   I counted 10 times
G|---------------------------------------------|  Just play it every time
D|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|  you play the 7 on G string
A|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|   or  5 on A string. ^haha.
D|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|
 
Then play the gain again:
 
E|---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------------|
B|---12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
-----12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-------------------|
-----15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
-----15-15-15-15-15-15-------------------------|
-----17-17-17-17-17-17-------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
-----14-14-14--17------------------------------|
-----15-15-15--15------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
 
This is the left hand or second guitar during the gain again:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---3333333333333333333333333333333333--------|  That is
G|---2222222222222222222222222222222222--------|    34
D|---0000000000000000000000000000000000--------|   Times
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
Then this again:
 
E|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-----10---10---10---10---8---7---8---10----------|
G|---7----7----7----7----7---7---7---7-------------|  Play
D|-------------------------------------------------|  Twice
A|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
 
Or this is if you want it an octave lower:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|  Play
D|-----7---7---7---7---5---4---5---7-----------|  Twice
A|---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
 
And the left hand or second guitar during this part is this:
 
E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|   I counted 10 times
G|---------------------------------------------|  Just play it every time
D|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|  you play the 7 on G string
A|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|   or  5 on A string. ^haha.
 
This will take you to 1:45 where he says "FORGET ABOUT OUR MOTHERS AND OUR
FRIENDS". I am sorry I do not know it. The rest of it is just the above repeated.
 
 




I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend

        (intro riff)
          guitar 1 (maybe keyboard)
 
       e|-------------------|-------------------|
       B|--10---10---10---10|---8---7---8---10--|
       G|7----7----7----7---|-7---7---7---7-----|   x4
       D|-------------------|-------------------|
       A|-------------------|-------------------|
       E|-------------------|-------------------|
 
          i also like playing it like this (although its not fully correct
          it sounds more filling and cool):
       e|------------------------|---------------------------|
       B|-------10----------10---|-------10----------10------|
       G|----11----11----11----11|----12----12----12----12---|
       D|-12----------12---------|-12----------12------------|
       A|------------------------|---------------------------|
       E|------------------------|---------------------------|
 
 
          guitar 1 repeats 4 times, on the 2nd
          time this riff joins in:
 
           (main riff)
 
       e|-12-10-9-------14-14----|
       B|---------12-10----------|
       G|------------------------|    x5
       D|------------------------|
       A|------------------------|
       E|------------------------|
 
 
the above riff is played 5 times with guitar 1 behind it.
for the second last note of the above riff a D chord is played behind the note on the
and 3rd time the riff is played:
 
       e|--------------|
       B|--------------|
       G|----7---------|
       D|----7---------|
       A|----5---------|
       E|--------------|
            (clean channel)
 
on the fifth time of the main riff the 14 on the e string is only played once, these are
chords that join in with the heavy fuzz box (or synth.).
 
       e|---|-------|--------|--------|--------|
       B|---|-------|--------|--------|--------|
       G|-7-|---12--|---7----|---7----|---7----| X4 (FROM A G)
       D|-7-|-7-12--|-7-7----|-7-7----|-7-7----|
       A|-5-|-7-10--|-7-5----|-7-5----|-7-5----|
       E|---|-5-----|-5------|-5------|-5------|
          D   A G      A D      A D      A D
 
 
on the 2nd time through these chords on the
last A D the lead fills join in:
 
       e|--17--|-17--19--|--14--|--14--|
       B|------|---------|------|------|
       G|------|---------|------|------| X3
       D|------|---------|------|------|
       A|------|---------|------|------|
       E|------|---------|------|------|
 
 
ON THE FIFTH TIME OF THE CHORDS, WHEN IT GETS TO THE LAST A D INSTEAD OF PLAYING IT IT
TO G ON THE 3RD FRET FOR 4 BARS
 
       e|----|---|---|---|
       B|----|---|---|---|
       G|--12|-12|-12|-12|
       D|--12|-12|-12|-12|
       A|--10|-10|-10|-10|
       E|----|---|---|---|
           G   G    G  G
 
the lead fill behind the chords:
       e|--17--|--17--|--17--|--17--19--|--14--|--14--|
       B|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       G|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       D|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       A|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       E|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
 
 
straight after the 4 bars it jumps straight back to the first set of chords BUT instead
playing the A G it goes from D to the A Ds.
after the last A D it goes back to the Gs (whole thing repeats 2x).
 
after the last time it goes to like a bridge:
      e|----|----|----|----|
      B|----|----|----|----|
      G|-14-|-14-|-11-|-12-|
      D|-14-|-14-|-11-|-12-|
      A|-12-|-12-|-9--|-10-|
      E|----|----|----|----|
 
then pretty much goes to the start of the song again (main riff) except for the chords:
      e|----|-----|
      B|----|-----|
      G|-7--|-----|x4
      D|-7--|--5--|
      A|-5--|--5--|
      E|----|--3--|
 
with the main riff behind it for nine times BUT on the 9th time only play the 14 on the
string once.
 
a little pause with sound FX and singing.
then the intro riff starts up for 8x with these chords behind it:
 
     e|------|------||-------|------|------|------|
     B|------|------||-------|------|------|------|
     G|---7--|---7--||---12--|---7--|---7--|---7--|x3 (from A G)
     D|-7-7--|-7-7--||-7-12--|-7-7--|-7-7--|-7-7--|
     A|-7-5--|-7-5--||-7-10--|-7-5--|-7-5--|-7-5--|
     E|-5----|-5----||-5-----|-5----|-5----|-5----|
        A D    A D    A G     A D    A D    A D
 
after 5 times of the main riff this riff comes back on:
 
       e|--17--|-17--19--|--14--|--14--|
       B|------|---------|------|------|
       G|------|---------|------|------| X2
       D|------|---------|------|------|
       A|------|---------|------|------|
       E|------|---------|------|------|
 
 then this riff with the bunch of Gs
 
       e|--17--|--17--|--17--|--17--19--|--14--|--14--|
       B|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       G|------|------|------|----------|------|------|x2
       D|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       A|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
       E|------|------|------|----------|------|------|
 
pretty much from then on it repeats from the bridge.






I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
