Anyone want to help me figure this song out?

[Loren Littlejohn]

Me and the brothers are covering this and every retard on the internet has it tabed wrong. I have 90% of it good to go, the problem is the chord changes on the verses.

Everyone has it like so:

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|-7--7-7--7--7--7--7-7---------------------------7--7-7--7--------------
D|-7--7-7--7--7--7--7-7--8--8-8--8--8--8--8-8--7--7-7--7--7--7-7--7-
A|-5--5-5--5--5--5--5-5--8--8-8--8--8--8--8-8--5--5-5--5--7--7-7--7--
D|--------------------------8--8-8--8--8--8--8-8---------------7--7-7--7--

I can hear the progression doesn't fucking go that way and it makes me rage (through the intro and the first verse). haha

It's possible that one of the guitar parts does that, but not both and I need both parts.

So if your up for helping me out with this then I owe you!

In E standard tuning I believe it's something like this: the first chord is 577 on ADG then it's 657 on EAD then 577 on ADG again then 587 on EAD then 688 on EAD and 547 on EAD

I listened to the intro a few times and this what I got.
Left side:
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G-7-----7-----7------------------
D-7-----7-----7------------------
A-5-----5-----5---8-----8-------
E-------6----------5----6----9---

Right side:
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G-7-------------------------------
D-7-----7-----7------------------
A-5-----5-----5---8-----8---12---
E-------6----------5----6----9---

Am I sounding the chorus out wrong then? I hear a low D chord that sounds like it can only be played if I go standard D or drop D.

You can hear it easily at the end of the song, but maybe only one of the guitars is playing that? I know there are 2 guitars playing this tune so...

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

And thanks guys that sounds right. I have no clue why that was so difficult to sound out. Funny I think the solo was the easiest part to learn.

 

[JeffTD]

I fucking love this song, so so much. Describes my last relationship perfectly.

And Bayside most definitely play in D standard.

 

[Plankis]

Maybe it's in D standard? I think I hear open strings right after the chorus.

Edit: WTF beaten twice now!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

And Bayside most definitely play in D standard.

And just like that, everything makes sense. Thanks.

Many people fucking fail at tabbing this song out check this nonsense out:

It's not a popular enough song to have all that much help figuring it out. Most solos are only 70% correct (which is not enough correctness), so I had to sound a lot of that out and even now I go back and listen and I only have it at 95% correct .

Thanks doodz.

Yeah they were really bad. Even the guitar pros and powertabs were as awful, usually the tabbers that do those put a bit more effort to the tab.
