Allred- Medley
Tab by Price
Standard Tuning
This is my first attempt at writing out the chords for a song.
I’m sure that there are several inaccuracies, but you can fix
them as you see fit. I spent about an hour watching the video
for this song over and over on YouTube, and it seems pretty simple.
Also, if you know the songs at all you could just find the individual
tabs and do your own mash-up. From what I can tell, and what others
have posted, here is the song list:
• If You Could Only See—Tonic
• Secret—Howie Day
• Demons—Guster
• Desperately Wanting—Better Than Ezra
• All You Wanted—Michelle Branch
• Complicated—Avril Lavigne
• Save Tonight—Eagle Eye Cherry
• Hero/Heroine—Boys Like Girls
• Bubbly—Colbie Caillat
• Big Girls Don't Cry—Fergie
• Umbrella—Rihanna
• Hotel California—Eagles
• Nine In The Afternoon—Panic! At The Disco
• Keep Bleeding In Love—Leona Lewis
• With You—Chris Brown
• Apologize—Onerepublic
• Drift Away—Uncle Kcracker
Primarily the only chords that he uses are variations of [Am, C, F,
Em, and G]. While this is not an unusual set of chords (everyone
knows that most songs can be played using these same roots), Allred’s
mash-up seems to be more popular right now because it is a mix of new
and old (alright mostly new).
Anyway, here are the chords and lyrics as best I can explain. Play
around with the strumming and timing to get a feel for the way it all
fits together. I know it is not entirely accurate; it’s just a start.
Watch the YouTube video if you want to get a better feel. In the video
Allred jumps from Hotel California to Apologize, cutting out three of the
songs towards the end that are in the album version. Still, this is not a
difficult song, just a bit long. Have fun and feel free to adjust the tab
as you notice errors.
Cheers!
(I'm not sure why, but when I preview the tab all the chords move to the
left so they are not in the correct strum location. You will just have to
listen and adjust as needed. Sorry, I'd fix it if I could but I'm not about
to figure out the reasoning. If you know how to adjust the text to make it
work, and want to take the time to do so, I wish you luck!)
