THE WICKER MAN- Difficulty 5/10 -------------- This song has some quite complicated rhythms! If I give you the lines I trust you'll be able to work out the arrangement (i.e. when different parts return etc) :) ~=slide #= mute/damp (achieved by pressing the fret half-down or putting another finger slightly on the next fret) |(notes)| - tuplet INTRO (there is no bass here but if you feel like playing along anyway...): G: -----------------------------------------------0--0-0- Repeat once D: -2-2-2#2#2#2#-2-2-2#2#2#2#-2-2-2#2#2#2#--------------- A: ----------------------------------------3--3-3-------- E: ------------------------------------------------------ When drums enter- G: --------------------------------------------------------0--0-0- D: -2--2-2-|2#2#2#|-2--2-2-|2#2#2#|-2--2-2-|2#2#2#|--------------- Keep doing this till the A: -------------------------------------------------3--3-3-------- "you watch the world...." E: --------------------------------------------------------------- line. "You watch the world exploding every single night......" The rhythm here CAN imitate that of the tune if you find it easier to play like that: G: -----------------------0-0-0--------------------------------------- D: -0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------4-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------- Repeat till 'your A: ---------------3-3-3-3---------------------------3-3-3-3-------0-0- will come' E: ---------------------------------------------------------3-3-3----- "Your time will come....." G: ----------------------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0--------------------- D: -2-2-2-2-2---------------------0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2------------------------------- A: -----------3-3-3-3-3-------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3---------0 E: ---------------------3-3-3-3-3-------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-- I hope that's enough to get you through the song. The parts I left I assumed were easy enough for you to work them out. However if there's something important I've missed please tell me! ------------------------------------------------------------- GOT A PROBLEM? NEED A TAB?
