-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Lady Peace - Innocent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Rygor42 Email: rlgoralczyk@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________________________________ Artist: Our Lady Peace Song: Innocent Album: Gravity Tuning: 1/2 step down ______________________________________________________________________________________ Just some notes (and you should read this before criticizing): - This tab is rated intermediate due to the difficulty of the chords & switching - I tried to make this as simple as possible while incorporating the proper elements; but don't take it note for note, as the saying goes. Listen to the song and play what you feel is right; play your interpretation of the song. This is a base for you to be creative with; I just wanted to provide correct chords & positions. - play the Dsus2 in open position for the last chord - the Esus2 & Bsus4 are played on the last beat of the bar before going to the next chord; they are just hit once in transition. If you can't hear them, or don't think full chord should be played, simply hit the bass note for those chords in transition - it's not necessary to fret the 'e' string on the B or A chords - A can be played higher up, like the B, or as an Asus - A in the pre-chorus can be played as Asus - in the last verses/choruses, I didn't mark every transition chord. It's up to you whether or not to play them, sounds good either way, depends on style you're playing the song - when the distorted guitar comes in (first chorus), it's just playing the open positions of the chords in an 3-note arpeggio-style (you'll know what I mean if you listen to the song...) - when the heavier guitar comes in (second verse), it's simply playing the power chords for the notes; nothing fancy going on except sliding back and forth (same as the bass pretty much) - I have no clue what's going on in the funky interlude with the lead, but it's based on the same chord progression so yeah... - if you have any questions/concerns, feel free to email me at the address given above - if you notice anything that doesn't belong or isn't right, please say so in the comments below so I can try to fix it, as well as letting others know the correction (eg: if I named a chord wrongly - after the time I put into this, the name of the chord is irrelevant so long as the fingerings are correct) ______________________________________________________________________________________ Chords: Dsus2 Esus2 Asus4 G B E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e x 5 7 7 5 5 x 7 9 9 7 7 x 0 7 9 1010 x 10 9 7 8 7 x 14 13 11 12 11 (OPEN) A (OPEN) (OPEN) (OPEN) E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e x 0 0 2 3 0 x 12 11 9 10 9 x 0 2 2 3 0 3 x 0 0 3 0 x 2 4 4 x 2 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Distorted Arpgeggio Riff: (again, just an outline, it's played differently each chorus, play it your own way, but note how it always returns to the 3rd on B and open on 'e', those notes matter) DAGBA4 e|-------0------------0-------------0----------------------| B|----3-----3------3-----3-------3-----3-------3------2-3--| G|-------------------------------------------------2-------|-play either 2nd fret on A, D|-0------------2-------------0--------------------2-------|-but not both A|--------------0-------------x-------------2--------------| E|----------------------------3----------------------------| CHORDS & LYRICS: Verse 1 Dsus2 Esus2 Asus4 Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous Bsus4 G Spends his time alone in the basement B With Lennon and Cobain and A Dsus2 A guitar and a stereo Esus2 Asus4 And while he wishes he could escape this Bsus4 G But it all seems so contagious B Not to be yourself and faceless A G In a song that has no soul PreChorus A I remember feeling low, and G I remember losing hope, and B I remember all the feelings A And the day they stopped Chorus Dsus2 Esus2 Asus4 We are, we are all innocent, Bsus4 G We are all innocent B A We are, we are...
