As Far as I Know (TAB)

[GtrPlyr]

AS FAR AS I KNOW

Tuning: D#, G#, C, D#, G#, C (from low to high)


Intro/Main Riff (there are slight variations on this throughout, but this should give you the basic idea)

C------3--3--3--3-|-3-3--3--3--3-3--||
G#-----2--2--2--2-|-0-0--0--2--2-0--||
D#-----0--0--2--2-|-0-0--0--2--2-0--||… (repeat)
C------3--3--2--2-|-3-3--3--2--2-0--||
G#-----2--2--2--2-|-0-0--0--2--2-0--||
D#----------------|------------------||



(The notes on the high string are just a suggestion for people playing this on acoustic, that may want to have a fuller sound).

And I know everything…

On the live versions of this, Paul usually plays these chords during the (I know everything) part:

C------3-|-5-|-3-|-3-|-3-|-5-|---|---|
G#----4-|-6-|-4-|-2-|-4-|-6-|---|-2-|
D#----5-|-7-|-5-|-0-|-5-|-7-|---|-2-|
C------5-|-7-|-5-|-3-|-5-|-7-|---|-2-|
G#------|----|---|-2-|---|----|-7-|-2-|
D#------|----|---|-0-|---|----|-5-|---|





Once again another song in the “CST” or “G# Major Tuning.” This is one of Paul’s more traditionally structured songs (meaning there’s verse, chorus, and bridge sections). Melodically it hints at The Beatles, with nods to 70’s/80’s power-pop. This song is pretty much a perfect pop song in my books. Live, this song makes an even bigger impression, thanks to Michael Bland’s powerhouse drumming. (When playing this live, Paul sometimes tunes a ½ step higher).


There’s a few guitar parts on the recording, but I decided to TAB it out for one guitar. Hopefully this covers all the basics. Let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions, or improvements.


Cheers,

Wow, GP, nice work on the tabs....I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!

how's about throwing a capo on the 1st fret, and playing it in D ?...

Sure that'll work too.

Paul plays this without a capo live, that's why it's listed at this pitch and not a 1/2 step lower.

yep...its looks right, after watching the video clip from louisville.

but damn, man. my fingers are too old to learn new shapes. but I'll keep at it.

also, is there another chord in there around the 'doesnt get kissed, doesnt exist' part? sounds a bit minor-y to my damaged ears.

and thanks again, mr. derranged-tunings.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that part. I think this it:
