My Chemical Romance - Hang 'Em High
Tabbed By: god_of_death_195
Email: foley_for_life@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
This is my first tab, so bear with me.
I'm a drummer, not a bassist.
:: NOTE ::
It's hard to hear some of the stroke rhythms, and I've never
seen Mikey Way play the song, so I'm taking some guesses. Most of the
song sounds like it's being played in 1/16 notes (1+2+3+4+; "chugga-chugga")
with some 1/8 notes (like in the first line of the OPENING)and some triplet
patterns (in measures 1 & 2 in the second line of the VERSE). The BREAKDOWN
is just a lot of slides. Listen to the song and experiment. Do whatever
sounds right, and have fun. MCR rules!
x = rest
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
^ = gradual slide (up)
~ = hang the note
