Hedges detunes his top string to a low B to match the low B on the bass guitar. I haven’t seen this tab any where on the net, so enjoy all you hedges fans!!! This is tabbed to show the various phrases of the tune it’ll be up to you to work out the timing. This tab is not perfect but all the parts are there and I think is fairly accurate. Legend h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend r = bend release / = slide up/down <5> = natural harmonic [5] = artifical harmonic ~ = vibrato tr = trill Part A Introduction G|---2/14---------------------<5>---------<4>---------------------<4>- D|----------------<5>---------------------------------<5>------------- A|-0------------------------------------------------------------------ E|--------5-5-7-5-----5-5-7-5-----5-5-7-5-----5-5-7-5-----5-5-7-5----- B|-------------------------------------------------------------------- Part B G-||--------------13-12-|----2-4-------|-------------13-12-|-2-4-7p4- D-||*-------12/14-------|--------0-2-0-|-------12/14-------|--------- A-||--12h14-------------|--------------|-12h14-------------|--------- E-||*-------------------|--------------|-------------------|--------- B-||--------------------|--------------|-------------------|--------- G|---4-|-------------13-16b17-17-|-2-4-7-4\2/4-|-------|-------7-9-6- D|-7---|-------12/14-------------|-------------|-------|------------- A|-----|-12h14-------------------|-------------|-------|------------- E|-----|-------------------------|-------------|-7-7-2-|-0-0-0------- B|-----|-------------------------|-------------|-------|------------- G-|---------|--------------------|-------|-------7-9-6-|------------- D-|---------|--------------------|-------|-------------|-------0h3h5- A-|---------|---7---9---10----12-|-------|-------------|------------- E-|-0-7-7-2-|--------------------|-7-7-2-|-0-0-0-------|------------- B-|---------|-5---7---8----10----|-------|-------------|-0-0-0------- G|-0/16-15-|-4-3-2-------|-4-3-2---|-4-3-2-------|---------------13-12- D|---------|-------------|---------|-------2-0-0-|-2/------12/14------- A|---------|-------4b5-5-|-------0-|-------------|---12h14------------- E|---------|-------------|---------|-------------|--------------------- B|---------|-------------|---------|-------------|--------------------- order - Part A, Repeat part B twice, Part A, Fisrt 4 measures of part A and then the Ending Ending G--||-----------*|- D-*||---------9-*|- A--||-----7-9---*|- E-*||-7-9-------*|- B--||-----------*|-
