Words And Music By Number One Fan
Transcribed By Ryan Tabor(LithiumPostScpt)
I sat and took some time to tab out a great but unnoticed song and band.
Enjoy and please let me know what you think!
Tuning: Standard
Intro/Verse:
|---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-|
|---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-|
|-1-x-11-1-3-x------1-x-11-1-x-3-3-3-|
|-2-x-00-0-4-x-66-6-2-x-00-0-x-4-4-4-|
|-2-x-22-2-4-x-66-6-2-x-22-2-x-4-4-4-|
|-0-x-44-4-2-x-44-4-0-x-44-4-x-2-2-2-|
Or
|---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-|
|---x------2-x--------x------x-2-2-2-|
|---x------3-x--------x------x-3-3-3-|
|-2-x------4-x------2-x------x-4-4-4-|
|-2-x-22-2-4-x-22-2-2-x-22-2-x-4-4-4-|
|-0-x-44-4-2-x-44-4-0-x-44-4-x-2-2-2-|
Repeat this four times
Fill:
Guitar One:
|--------|
|--------|
|-4---3--| Let Each Chord
|-2---4--| Ring Out
|-2---2--|
|-4---2--|
Let each chord ring out
Guitar Two:
|-----------2----------2-------2-------xx|
|-4p2---2----4p2---2-------2-------2---xx|
|-----4---4------4---4---3---3---3---3-xx|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|-----------7----------7-------7-------xx|
|-8p6---6----8p6---6-------6-------6---xx|
|-----9---9------9---9---8---8---8---8-xx| This is what he plays live
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
Both sound the same, just play whatever one is more comfortable to you.
Chorus:
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-2-22-2-|
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-|
|-6-66-6-9-99-9-4-44-4-1-11-1-|
|-9-99-9-9-99-9-4-44-4-2-22-2-|
|-9-99-9-7-77-7-6-66-6-2-22-2-|
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-|
These are the chords, not the rhythm you strum!
There is also a piano riff in the chorus, simple translation.
It repeats.
|-14-11----|
|-------14-|
|----------|
|----------|

Post Chorus Fill:
|---x------x-2-|
|---x------x-2-|
|-1-x-11-1-x-3-|
|-2-x-00-0-x-4-|
|-2-x-22-2-x-4-|
|-0-x-44-4-x-2-|
Like the intro verse, but let it ring out this time.
Repeat the verse again, fill, and the chorus.
Bridge:
Guitar One:
|---------7---|
|-7---7-------|
|---8---8---8-|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
Repeat above riff till 2:01
Guitar Two: Comes in at 1:53
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|---------------------------444-444-|
|---1-1h2-1-------1-----444-222-111-|
|-2---------2-222---2-2-222-222-222-|
|-------------000-----0-222---------|
Then play this fill roughly around 2:03
(It sounds like both guitars play this fill)
|-6-6h7-6/-|
|-7-7---7/-|
|----------|
|----------|

Guitar One:
|---------7----777777-777777-777777-|
|-7---7--------777777-555555-444444-|
|---8---8---8-----------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
Guitar Two:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
|---1-1h2-4-------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|
|-2---------2-2/1\2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
|-----------------------------------|
Now around 2:14 Guitar Two just does
the rhythm of the chorus.
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-7-77-7-|
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-7-77-7-|
|-6-66-6-9-99-9-4-44-4-9-99-9-|
|-9-99-9-9-99-9-4-44-4-9-99-9-|
|-9-99-9-7-77-7-6-66-6-7-77-7-|
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-7-77-7-|
2:14 Guitar One
|--------------11-12-|
|-----12-11-12-------|
|-/11----------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
Play four times Then:
|------------------------------------------------------|
|-11-11-11-11-11-11-12-12-12-12-12-12------------------|
|-------------------------------------11-11-11-11-11-11|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
Use some vibrato on these notes (Above)
|--------------11-12-7777-6666-99999999-|
|-----12-11-12-------7777-7777-99999999-|
|-/11-----------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
Back to Chorus (Slight Change):
Chorus:
Guitar Two:
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-2-22-2-|
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-|
|-6-66-6-9-99-9-4-44-4-1-11-1-|
|-9-99-9-9-99-9-4-44-4-2-22-2-|
|-9-99-9-7-77-7-6-66-6-2-22-2-|
|-7-77-7-7-77-7-4-44-4-0-00-0-|
Guitar One:
|--------------11-12-|
|-----12-11-12-------|
|-/11----------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
Guitar one just repeats over and over til the end.
Then the outro is basically just :
|-7-77-7---77--7---77-|
|-7-77-7---77--7---77-|
|-7-77-7---77--7---77-|
|-9-99-9p8-88--8h9-99-|
|-9-99-9---99--9---99-|
|-7-77-7---77--7---77-|
Play around with it, and be sure to listen to the album as reference.
Number One Fan was a great band. This is what I have heard off the album, if
you have any corrections let me know.
