Idle Thumbs intro song guitar tab?

Recommended Posts

I did a quick search and couldn't find a post about this..

 

So I was wondering if anyone had tabbed out the intro song or if Chris has done so himself? I'd try and learn it by ear but I'm shit at guitar. 

 

I put a question mark in the title so as not to excite any one who thought that I was a guitar wizard and had provided said tab. 

 

Cheers.

Just due to timing concerns, I'd rather give my blessing to someone else's accurate tablature than tab it out myself.

 

But I will provide this helpful hit: Almost everything I record on guitar is tuned down a whole step. Not drop-D tuning or anything non-standard; just every string down a whole step lower than usual, so it's DAFCBD rather than EBGDAE. This is to accomodate my woefully low vocal range. It seems to have tripped people up in the past with various tracks of mine.

The closest I got, just from idly messing around, was that the main chord progression was A - F - D. This was in standard tuning so the key is probably wrong.

 

But it does allow you to make a rad Heart Shaped Box/Video Games mashup.

The main chords are A - F - Dm - E. That's really all you need for the bulk of the track.
