THE RED WHITE AND BLUES- DEFEATER
Tabbed by: Connor M
Email: connormccleskey@gmail.com
So this song is (intentionally) played pretty sloppily and aggressively, but I
still tried to tab it out as best I could.
Tuning: D Standard (Whole Step Down)
The Rhythm plays the same 2 easy open chords the entire time. The picking pattern
is easy enough to figure out. I'll put it first.
Chords Used: (The chord names might be wrong but comment and I'll correct)
e| Em73 e|Cadd9 3
b| 3 b| 3
g| 0 g| 0
d| 2 d| 2
a| 2 a| 3
E| 0 E| X
Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
The Whiskey burns going downEm7
Old man pour me another rounCadd9d
Cause it's my last night in Em7town
And I ain't thinking of slowCadd9ing down.
No, I am fixing to drown Em7
Repeat verse ad nauseum
So thats all the rhythm does over and over again.
The lead is not much more exciting
"The whiskey burns going down..."
Verse 1
e|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------13-13-13----------|

A|---10-10-10-10---3-3--33-----------------------|

Repeat until "No I ain't thinkin, I'm fixin to" where the lead has this little transition.

Go back to verse 1
On "I ain't no coward..."
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--13---12--8/10--13------12-12-12-12--13---12--8/10--13------12-12-12-12-15|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--10----9--5/7---10------10 10 10 10--10----9--5/7---10------10 10 10 10-12|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then during the interlude (if you tap it you can get the sound they have on the record.
e|--14--15--10---14--15--10---14--15--10---14--15--10-14--15--10---14--15--10|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After that, it repeats the verse again and you're done. Really easy.
