Fuckin' Up Tab
Artist; Neil Young
Every tab I've found for this on the net sounds wrong so here is my attempt.
This song seems to be played in a dropped D tuning (from low to high D, A, D, G, B, E.)
and I'm not even gonna TRY to tab the solo (in other words, I probably will down the
track. I'm a glutton for punishment in that respect :o)
It's probably wrong but here it is anyway (Let me know what you think. if this one
doesn't suck I'll try some more from time to time :o)
Riff:
E|----------------------------|
B|----3---3---3---3-3---------|
G|----2---2---2---2-2---------|
D|----0---0---0---0-0---------|<== x4
A|------3---3---3-------------|
D|-0--------------------------|
The picking in the verse seems to be more or less random (within the context of the
chords of course) here are the chords:
Dm Am C F G G G
E|-1----0----0---------------|
B|-3----1----1---------------|
G|-2----2----0---------------|
D|-0----2----2----3s5-5-5----|
A|------0----3----3s5-5-5----|
D|----------------3s5-5-5----|
And finally the chords for the chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/neil_young/fuckin_up_crd.html ]
Dm Am Am G
E|-1----0------0-------3----------|
B|-3----1------1-------3----------|
G|-2----2------2-------0----------|
D|-0----2------2-------0----------|
A|------0------0------------------|
