HERE IT IS:CALEB'S FAVOURITE SONG OF A-HA SHAKE HEARTBREAK:
NOTE:(I've put the basic chords even the kings don't play any guitar chord
in this song)
This is played all trough the song:
Bm C#m A
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|----------9------11-----7------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|------7-------9------5-------------5-6-7---|
CHORUS:this is the powerful BASS line of the chorus:
Bm C#m D
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|-7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10-|
Bm C#m A (let Ring the A note)
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9--5---------------------|
Guitar doubles this and goes briefly while bass rings at the end:
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|----10-9--------10-9-------|
|-7------------7------------|
Then this beautiful BASS line:
|----------------------------------------------|
|------------------------4--4------------------|
|---------5-----7--7-----------7--5------5-----|
|-5---7-----7-------------------------7--------|
Again, in a brief interval:
Bm C#m A
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|----------9------11-----7------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|------7-------9------5-------------5-6-7---|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kings_of_leon/milk_tab_ver_2.html ]
Bass plays first riff again and in the first line Matthew gives us a little lick, fit it in where it goes:
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|12--9--x12--x9--/////16-----|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
Bass part repeated, play lick over bass:
Bm C#m D
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|-7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10-|
Play five times,then:
Bm C#m A (Let Ring the A note)
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9--5---------------------|
With the guitar bit at the end:
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|----10-9--------10-9-------|
|-7------------7------------|
Then the great little riff at the end played over the bass:
Palm Mute strings
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-12--9--x12--x9--///14-----12--9--x12--x916--------------|
|----------------------------------------------------- |--|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------- |--|
|--12--9--x12--x9--12----12--9--x12--x9--\\\7-------------|
|----------------------------------------------------- |--|
Play this about 4 times, then the outro is simply the intro twice:
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|----------9------11-----7------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|------7-------9------5-------------5-6-7---|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's all. In this song as well as in TRANI, you can hear the biggest Kings of
Without playing chords, they've created the best
acoustic song ever.
