Fainting Spells
Tabbed by Jess/Abongachong
Tune to Eb Ab Db Gb
This song is a b-side from the Decemberunderground sessions but will be released on
editions of the album Crash Love.
Some part of the tab are kind of confusing, I did a cover of the song so feel free to
it out to see how to play it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJpaTAohhGM
Also I'm quite sure that the first part of the bridge is wrong, if anyone can help me
with corrections there it'd be muchos appreciated :)
In the recording, there's no bass til 0:58 but sitting around waiting to come in is
boring so I made up a basic verse riff. Just go watch the video mentioned above to check out
it should sound.
h - hammer on
/ - slide
> - strum
. - staccato
