Favourite Kings of Leon song this one,
but no one seems to have tabbed it right yet!
 
The song is pretty simple and I have tabbed
lead and ryhthm for it but I do not know the bass
so you may have to work that one out for yourselves!
 
The format of the song is:
Intro
Verse 1
Chorus 1
Link 1
Verse 2
Chorus 2
Link 2
Verse 3
Chorus 3
Outro
 
 
CALEB (rhythm) plays the first three stings only
all through the song up until the outro (he only
plays it continuously in the intro with
Matthew and strikes the chord once at the start
of Verse 1 & 2):
 
e--16--|
b--17--|
g--16--|
d------|
a------|
e------|
 
 
The intro and verse for MATTHEW (lead) is also
quite simple:
 
e---------------------------------------|
b---------------------------------------|
g---------------------------------------|
d---------------------------------------|
a--7-9-11--11-11-11--7-9-11--11-11-11---|
E--0-0--0--0--0--0---0-0--0--0---0--0---|
 
e---------------------------------------]
b---------------------------------------]
g---------------------------------------]
d--11-9-11--11-11-11--11-9-11--11-11-11-]
a---0-0--0---0--0--0---0-0--0---0--0--0-]
E---------------------------------------]
(This is played for Intro, Verse 1 & 2, and
Link 1)
 
 
The chorus is only played by MATTHEW.
The ~ means let the chord ring out):
 
e--------------]
b--------------]
g--------------]  x4
d--9-9-9-7~~~~-]
a--7-7-7-5~~~~-]
E--0-0-0-0~~~~-]
(This is played in Chorus 1,2 & 3)
 
 
In Link 2 and Verse 3 Caleb plays his chord
throughout and MATTHEW plays this through
both aswell (both go back to normal Chorus
playing for Chorus 3).
 
e--12------------]
b-----14---------]
g--------13-11-9-]
d----------------]
a----------------]
E----------------]
 
 
In the Outro CALEB plays this:
e-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
b-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
g-1-1-1-1111-1-1-1-1-]
d-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-]  x 12
a-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-]
E-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
 
While MATTHEW plays this:
e--------------------]
b--------------------]
g--------------------]
d--------------------]  x 12
a-7-7-5-5577-5-5-5-5-]
E-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
 
 
Then CALEB ends the song with:
e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
b-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
g-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
d-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
a-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
E-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
 
And MATTHEW ends the song with:
e-------------------|
b-------------------|
g-------------------|
d-------------------|
a-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|
E-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|
 
I explained it in the simplest way I could but it
probably leads to some confusion so any trouble

Oh I just thought it would be a variation of the D chord as it is the same finger position just 14 frets up. Do forgive me I am quite new to this guitar malarky lol. Thanks

Caleb plays a variation of an E chord, the main riff is correct, however i think both matt and caleb play the chorus part....but matt only plays the bottom 2 strings perhaps other than that, nice one
