THE LITTLE THINGS ~ DANNY ELFMAN ~ WANTED SOUNDTRACK

For the first 4 measures, it is just bass:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------|

D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------|
E|---4--------4-----------4--------------4-----------------------|

Then, guitar joins bass with the same riff:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------|

Okay, now we are at 0:46:

We are at 1:10 and back to where we started with:

D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----1---2-1----------1---2-1---------1------2-1-4-1-2-----1---2-1----|

Then at 1:25, the verse returns:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6---|

A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6----------------1----2-1-4-1-2----1---2-1--|
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--------------4----------------4-----------|

And then at 1:55, this part comes back:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-----|
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-----|

A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-------------1----2-1-4-1-2----1---2-1--|
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4-----------4----------------4-----------|

Then at 2:25, the guitar solo begins.

e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-18--17--18--17--18-17-1715-15-1715-15-1715-15-1718-1718-1718|

G|18182020181817171818-22^-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|

At 2:50, the solo ends and we are back to:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----1---2-1-----------1---2-1-----------1------2-1-4-1-2-----1---2-1---|
E|---4-----------------4-----------------4------------------4-------------|

It is 2:56, and the guitar stops, though the bass continues with the root note of the 
power chords (the notes on the bottom E line).

At 3:06, the guitar chimes in again to play this riff once:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------|
E|---4--------4-----------4---------------4----------------------|

Good luck, and I hope you enjoyed. Drop a rating and a comment if you have a few extra seconds.
