guitar tabs lyrics

Cursive

You can take loads of liberties with this song, but here is the basic premise. Feel free
put in whatever dischordant bits you want, but this is what I do.
Also, we all know that Cursive tunes their guitars down a whole step, but you can easily
this song without doing so. This is written in standard EADGBE

Main Riff:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----*^-----*^---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----*^-----*^---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-888----888------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|-888----888------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-666----666------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The *'s mean play whatever ugly sounding thing you can and bend it. I normally play
b|-6-- or b|-5--|- but you can really do whatever.
g|-8^- g|-8^-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------|
|-----*^-----*^-|
|-----*^-----*^-|
|-444----666----|
|-444----666----|
|-222----444----|

That's the main bit. Repeat as necessary, then go to the palm muted part about the
not agreeing:

Let each single powerchord ring until you get to the F#5 repeated.

Those octaves at the end can really be replaced with any stepwise ascension. Just move
the neck 2 frets on each slide. That's just how I play it.

Now add horns, figure out what the hell Ted is playing as lead, and you've got yourself
good song. Email me at [email protected] for any revisions or suggestions.
