  White, Discussion

  from the album Throwing Copper

  semi-tab by Michael Bahr (garion@indirect.com)

  

          I noticed nobody had done the tab for this song yet, so here goes.

  I'm going to list it for someone with normal tuning (since Live tunes down

  half a step, you're actually going to play it half a step high.) If you wish

  to tune half a step down for Live songs in general, my transcription will

  work exactly the same only play it half a step lower than I list.

  

          This is sort of a semi-tab since the same few riffs repeat a lot and

  you only need actual tab here and there. If you have a bass, you'll need the

  whole song tabbed out, as Dalheimer does all sorts of neat stuff. For the

  main guitar part, though, this suffices. I invite any and all additions and

  addenda to this work to be uploaded and replace this file, so long as you

  leave my original intact so people can see how it was originally done. That is

  to say, since this will go up to Nevada and UWP, if you want to add the

  secondary guitar part, do it... just don't nuke my work. :)

  

  Tuning: EADGBE (normal)

  Key: / slide up    slide down    (x) hammer on   -_-  rest

       > let chord ring   ~ let note ring   (otherwise it gets played staccato)

  

  (bass starts song, then when drums kick in, you back up like this:)

  

  (riff 1)

  E -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  B -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  G ---6(8)----8-6-~-------------6-4-~-----------4---~-----------6-~---------

  D ---------8-----------------6---------------4---6-------------------------

  A -------6-----------------4---------------2-------------------------------

  E -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  

  Essentially copying the bass line in highlight.

  Do the verses with this as the guitar line.

  Use a flanger if you have it; Chad Taylor does during this part.

  

  I talk of freedom

  You talk of the flag

  I talk of revolution

  You'd much rather brag

  

  And as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse

  continue to dampen the day

  The coin flips again and again and again

  as our sanity walks away

  

  All this discussion

  though politically correct

  is dead beyond destruction

  though it leaves me quite erect.

  

  And as the final sunset rolls behind the Earth

  and the clock is finally dead

  I'll look at you, you'll look at me, and we'll cry alot

  but this will be what we said

  

  This will be what we said

  

  (riff 1 with fill, last time before the next part)

  E -----------------------------------------------4->-4->-4->-4->-4---

  B -----------------------------------------------4->-4->-4->-4->-4---

  G ---6(8)----8-6-~-------------6-4-~-----------4-5->-5->-5->-5->-5---

  D ---------8-----------------6---------------4---6->-6->-6->-6->-6---

  A -------6-----------------4---------------2-----6->-6->-6->-6->-6---

  E -----------------------------------------------4->-4->-4->-4->-4---

  

  Don't alternate strum the end chord fill there ----^ just play it all

  "downwards" and it will ring properly.

  

  (riff 2)

  E -4-/-6-6-6-6--4-/-6-6-6-6--4-/-6---7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----

  B -6-/-8-8-8-8--6-/-8-8-8-8--6-/-8---7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----

  G -6-/-8-8-8-8--6-/-8-8-8-8--6-/-8-_-8-8-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----

  D -6-/-8-8-8-8--6-/-8-8-8-8--6-/-8---9-9-9-9-9-9-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6----

  A -4-/-6-6-6-6--4-/-6-6-6-6--4-/-6---9-9-9-9-9-9-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6----

  E -------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----

     X         X         X       X       X       X       X       X

  ^- Beat    * use alternate sweep strumming for the right sound on this part *

  

  Look where all this talking got us, baby.

  (repeat four times using riff 2)

  (then repeat riff 2 4 times without the verse.)

  

  (spoken word interlude.. bass only for full measure)

  I warned you. I prepared you. I instructed you. I told you what to expect,

  but you still did it all the time... (quote?)

  Use no riff until after "expect" and then back to riff 1 w/fill, then riff 2.

  

  Repeat riff 2 a LOT of times. I think sixteen.

  

  Fade out into white noise.

  If the order or anything confuses you, listen to the song, it will be

  painfully obvious what rhythm to do it all in.
