/ The Hives / Barely Legal (1997) / A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T guitar tab

1. try to use the "suggested" rhythm as shown below the tabs
   v=downstroke
   ^=upstroke
2. the counting is included to help (if you need it)
   1 e + a    2 e + a    3 e + a    4 e + a   <---equals one measure
3. i've included the chord names and note names
   E (capital letter = chord)
   e (small letter = single note)   (why would i do this? i don't know)
4. try this out...if you "hear" or "feel" a different/better
   rhythm pattern..let me know

the first verse part...goes from E to G to C (then somehow back to E) *repeat*
there is a whole step down from the E to a D (as a transition to the G)
again..that D is called as a transition from the G to the C (listen for it)
then somehow...after the C..im "assuming" that it uses that intro riffy thing
for the E-G-E thing....but again...its hard for me to hear with all that
*** drumming!
:)

so..this is what im "hearing"...again...let me know if you
find something wrong in there

im getting too lazy to be so tab-like...
so you get the picture (16th notes....strum down up down up)...etc...

chorus

E-D-G-E
(that 2nd E, you can hear a bass do a little descending thing)
if you want...try these notes...B,A,G,E
(on the three and four and) of the last bar (at about 00:40 - 00:41)



repeat the intro figure twice
on the last bar of the 2nd time..take a knife
and stab your speaker cone....to get that crazy
lo-fi sound at about 00:57 to 00:58
(k, dont do that...but maybe just switch
to your neck pickup really fast and have the
tone set really low)

VERSE 2 (repeat verse figure above)

repeat chorus

bass only

repeat chorus

end with something similar to the intro riff
