This is at least CLOSE to the song. If you have any suggestions or corrections please
let me know. I did this mostly by ear and by watching him live, and this is all my own
work. It took me a friggin' long time so I hope you enjoy it.
Listen to the song to learn the tempo. ALSO SOUNDS GOOD TUNED A HALF STEP DOWN
Half step down tuning:
e=d#
B=A#
G=F#
D=C#
A=G#
e=d#
The main intro/verse rifts go like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------(*)--|
G|--------0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0------0---|
D|------0------------------------------------------0-----|
A|--2h3-------2-----3-----5-----7-----9-----2----0-------|
E|----------3-----5-----7-----8-----10----3--------------|
*Whenever it sounds nice you can hit the open B string at the end instead of the last
open G.
Then for the chorus you can do this:
C G D Em
e|---------0------------3------------2------------0------|
B|---------1------------3------------3------------0------|
G|-------0---0--------0---0--------2---2--------0---0----|
D|-----2-------2----0-------0----0-------0----2-------2--|
A|---3-------------------------0-------------------------|
E|----------------3-------------------------0------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/needtobreathe/garden_tab_ver_5.html ]
C G D
e|---------0------------3------------2-----2h3p2---------|
B|---------1------------3------------3-----3-------------|
G|-------0---0--------0---0--------2---2-----------------|
D|-----2-------2----0-------0----0-----------------------|
A|---3-------------------------0-------------------------|
E|----------------3--------------------------------------|
C G D Em
e|---------0------------3------------2------------0------|
B|---------1------------3------------3------------0------|
G|-------0---0--------0---0--------2---2--------0---0----|
D|-----2-------2----0-------0----0-------0----2-------2--|
A|---3-------------------------0-------------------------|
E|----------------3-------------------------0------------|
C D G C G
e|---------0------------2------------3------0---3--------|
B|---------1------------3------------3------1---3--------|
G|-------0---0--------2---2--------0---0-----------------|
D|-----2-------2----0-------0----0-----------------------|
A|---3------------0-------------------------3------------|
E|-----------------------------3----------------3--------|
Then the whole thing pretty much repeats for the second half.
You can either pick or strum the chorus parts on the second half, it's up to you. Make
the song your own and play around with it. Post suggestions here!
Thanks.
