----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Off The Map - Alkaline Trio - This Addiction Standard Tuning (EADGBe) Arranged/Tabbed By Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an acoustic arrangement of Alkaline Trio's new song 'Off The Map'. Due to a leak, the new album 'This Addiction' got put onto YouTube and I just loved this song out of all of them. I do feel guilty listening to it before the release date but I am still buying it when it comes out. I think this is one of Dan Andriano's best so far and I hope you enjoy playing it. You'll have to find a way to listen to the song (or just wait till it's out) to get the rhythm right, it's pretty straight forward though. I worked this all out by ear, so no primary sources or copying. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *IMPORTANT* The chords used in this song are shown below, as I think the highlight chord diagrams are incorrect a lot of the time. I've put in a few variations of each chord too, including power chords for you acoustic rockers out there, and open string chords which sound very pretty, kind of like a 12 string. Mute/Don't play the strings marked with an 'x' Normal Chords | Open String Chords | Power Chords E (022100) > Emodal (079900) > E5 (022xxx) A (x02220) > Asus2 (x02200) > A5 (x022xx) B (x24442) > Bsus4 (x24400) > B5 (x244xx) C#m (x46654) > C#m7 (x46600) > C#5 (x466xx) G#m (466444) > E5/G# (4x2400) > G#5 (466xxx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *ALSO IMPORTANT* This song has two guitars in the interlude parts, rhythm, playing power chords, and lead, playing octave chords. I've arranged it so you can play it on one guitar, though some bits may be a bit of a stretch. I've put in the power chords the rhythm guitar plays above the tab, so if you find the tab too stretchy then you can just miss it out and play the chords above.
