Everything's Ruined
-------------------
Transcribed by: Harley Jackson (harls@npr.com.au)
Here is my interpretation of this great song. I haven't made much of an
attempt at tabbing the timing; listen to the song to pick this up. I've
also only tabbed the chords if there is some fingering in the bar,
otherwise I've just written the name of the chord. I generally play the
barre version of the chord.
Notation:
F# / /... keep strumming F# (even if it's not shown on the tab)
(F#) play quietly
2h3 hammer on
h2 play the note by hammering it on
3p2 pull off
7b(9) bend
7b(9)r7 bend and release
F# \ E play F# cord then slide down to E
10/17\10 slide up then down
Intro:
