FRAUD - Hawk Nelson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ben Sluys
Email:gustygus@hotmail.com
Tuning: Drop D
Some extra notes: This is my first tab, and Ive been playing guitar since
about mid summer, 2010 to the present date. I am very confidant that this tab
is at least 95% correct. There will be ALOT of me talk and typing because I
feel the need to clarity on many things.
For those of you who dont know, staccato means sharply and quickly, without
letting the note(s) ring for only a short period of time and allowing a short
pause before playing the next note(s).
When I write a note that slides down to the open fret (such as in the intro)
just play the note and very quickly slide your fingers down the fret board
until there is no sound.

INTERLUDE 1

Through out this section play staccato, and right after the last chord slide
your pick across your strings.
I do it along the second and third strings, starting from my bridge to abou
t halfway to where my fret board starts, but you can do what ever sounds best to you.
SIDE NOTE:
The last three different chords played in the interlude kind of sound like this:
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7-7-11-11-11-11-12-12-12-12-|
D|-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9-12-12-12-12-|
A|-5-5-5-5--9--9--9--9-10-10-10-10-|
D|---------------------------------|
But thats only because the bass guitar plays this:

A|-5-5-5-5--9--9--9--9-10-10-10-10-10-10-10|

Just thought I’d put that out there

The numbers are not the exact timing; they are just there
to give you the idea of the timing. Listen to the song for
the timing. A few of the first chords of each measure come
a tiny tiny bit before the fist beat before that measure.
That may have sounded confusing, but thats ok because its
not very important or noticeable, so it wont be missed if
you just keep with the timing of the tab.

Staccato again; except hold the last chord. There’s another one of
those pick slides leading into the next chorus.
CHORUS
BRIDGE x2, only end the last measure of the last bridge with a Low
G power chord rather than a high G power chord.
And finally this alternate bridge
