Again another great song from the Guano Apes, tabbed especially for Franois!
 


Be aware that the bass is VERY IMPORTANT in this song for the rhythm, so playing it along with your guitar only will make it sound quite tasteless!
Ok so it goes like this :
 

--- INTRO ---

It's just strumming power chords, you have to strum each chord for about two seconds and a half.
 

D#7 D#7  B7 C#7
 

-x- -x- -x- -x-
-x- -x- -x- -x-
-8- -8- -x- -6-
-8- -8- -9- -6-
-6- -6- -9- -4-
-6- -6- -7- -4-
 



Right after she sings the "wohhh" intro, you play once the D#7 chord and let it fade while the bass and drums are playing alone. 
Then there's distorsion on the bass, and it makes the rythm, while the guitar plays little notes in the back (the guitar is clean for these notes) :
Listen carefully to the bass rhythm, because you are going to use the same rhythm right after.
 

--- VERSE ---
 
                Your ground      is deep
 

G -------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------------------------------
A ---6-----------4---6-----------4---6-----------4---6---6---4-
E -------------------------------------------------------------
 


E -------------------------------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------------------------------
G -------------------------------20----------------------------
D ----------------20----------------------------20-------------
A --18---------------------------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------------------------------
 


                 my  greed       is deeper


G -------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------------------------------
A ---6-----------4---6-----------4---6-----------4---6---6---4-
E -------------------------------------------------------------
 


E -------------------------------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------------------------------
G -------------------------------18----------------------------
D ----------------18----------------------------18-------------
A --16---------------------------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------------------------------
 


Hope you got the picture, it goes like this for the first verse :
 


  "Your ground is deep
  my greed is deeper
  I can see everything
  nothings between us
  you will see through my eyes
  I will see through your veins
  dont you wanna listen
  what the cause is"
 


Then, the distorsion is applied again to the guitar, which follows the same pattern as the bass :
 

                                 You hate!! (I will see it through your eyes)

E -------------------------------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------------------------------
G -------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------------------------------
A ---6-----------4---6-----------4---6-----------4---6---6---4-
E -------------------------------------------------------------
 
and it goes like this for the pre-chorus :
 

  "You hate!! 
  (I will see it through your eyes)
  Too late!! (I will see it through your veins)
  Awake!!
  Take me to the end of it"
 

Then it's powerchord time :


--- CHORUS ---


      Rage        I feel ashamed now         'cos I can see deep in me nothing  


D#7   F7    D#7   F7                     B7   A#7           C#7        C#7
 


--x- --x-   --x- --x-                    --x- --x-          --x-       --x-
--x- --x-   --x- --x-                    --x- --x-          --x-       --x-
--8- -10-   --8- -10-                    -16- -15-          -18-       -18-
--8- -10-   --8- -10-                    -16- -15-          -18-       -18-
--6- --8-   --6- --8-                    -14- -13-          -16-       -16-
--6- --8-   --6- --8-                    -14- -13-          -16-       -16-
 

 You can also do it like this :
 
      Rage        I feel ashamed now         'cos I can see deep in me nothing  

D#7   F7    D#7   F7                     B7   A#7           C#7        C#7


--x- --x-   --x- --x-                    --7- --6-          --9-       --9-
--x- --x-   --x- --x-                    --7- --6-          --9-       --9-
--8- -10-   --8- -10-                    --8- --7-          -10-       -10-
--8- -10-   --8- -10-                    --9- --8-          -11-       -11-
--6- --8-   --6- --8-                    --9- --8-          -11-       -11-
--6- --8-   --6- --8-                    --7- --6-          --9-       --9-
 


 But you have to emphasize on strumming the highest strings for the four last chords as they sound higher pitched than the first ones.

So you play the whole chorus :
 
  "Rage I feel ashamed now
  'cos I can see deep in me nothing
  Rage I feel ashamed now
  'cos I can see deep in you nothing"
 


And you do the whole thing again for the chorus, the pre-chorus and the verse :
 
  "youve hurt me twice
  youve shared it
  ignored my pain
  Im scared of it
  You will walk into my life
  and Ill promise you the same
  dont you wanna listen
  what your love is
 


  You hate!! 
  (You will walk into my life)
  Too late!! 
  (But Ill promise you the same)
  Awake!!
  Take me to the end of it
 


  Rage I feel ashamed now
  'cos I can see deep in me nothing
  Rage I feel ashamed now
  'cos I can see deep in you nothing"
 


You reached now the bridge which is much quieter than the rest, you have to play only two chords and a few notes: (I guess the chords and the notes have been recorded separately but you can easily play them all with one guitar)
 

--- BRIDGE ---

                                                                                   I do...

D#7

--6----11---9---------9---8---------8---9--------6----11---9---------9---8---------8---9-

--9----11---9---------9---8---------8---9--------6----11---9---------9---8---------8---9-
--9--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 


It repeats like this a couple of times :
 


  "I do believe
  my greed is deeper than your love"
 


Then you play the chorus again !
 


  "Rage I feel ashamed now
  'cos I can see deep in me nothing
  Rage I feel ashamed now
  'cos I can see deep in you nothing
  Don't you wanna save me
  Don't you wanna hate me
  ooh now... nothing!
  Don't you wanna hate me
  Don't you wanna save me
  aayyeee...your greed..."
 


And you end on the last sentence by playing the following chord :


--6-
--7-
--8-
--8-
--6-
--6-
 


That's it !
Please note that I have the first release of the CD "Don't give me names", and there is a newer version of this CD so the songs may have been altered/remixed/improved. This tablature is the transcription of the song I have and may be slightly different from the song you have.
