--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Break Up Song - The Greg Kihn Band --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Brent Jacque Email: sxviper700triple@hotmail.com Tuning: Normal This is my first tab, but my dad helped me write it up, I think it sounds pretty close to the album version, and I seen our band here play it, it looks right :P I use a slight bit of distortion with my pedal for a little effect, but sounds good clean, too....:P I didn't figure out the timing, but just listen to it, it's not hard ;) Intro: Am F G Am (last Am: run pick down it slowly, listen for timing) x2 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------0-1-------0-1--------0-1-----1---------------------------------| G|------2---------2----------0--------2----------------------------------| D|----2---------3----------0---------2-----------------------------------| A|--0---------0----------2----------0------------------------------------| E|---------------------3-------------------------------------------------| Then the singing starts, strumming and muting with the chords Am, F and C Lyrics
CWe had broken upAm for good just an Fhour before Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
CNow I'm staring at Amthe bodies as there's danFcin' 'cross the floor Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
CAnd then the band sloAmwed the tempo and theF music gets me down Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
(Play Intro Over Again) It was the same old song with the melancholy sound Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (Listen for strumming)
CThey don't writAme 'em like that aFnymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore
CWe'd been living Amtogether for a milFlion years Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
CBut now it feel soAm strange (out in Fthe atmospheres') Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
(Play Intro Over again) And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slow Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (Listen for Strumming)
CThey don't write 'Amem like thFat anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore
CNow I wind up staAmring at an Fempty glass Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
CCause its so easy Amto say that you'Fll forget your past Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
(Play Intro Over again) They don't write 'em like that anymore, no! They just don't write 'em like that anymore (Listen for how many times to play the intro over) They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore (Play Intro and fade out) Chords used: Am F C G e|-x------1-----0----3--------| B|-1------1-----1----3--------| G|-2------2-----0----0--------| D|-2------3-----2----0--------| A|-0------0-----3----2--------| E|-x------x-----x----3--------| This was my first tab, this is how I play the song, it sounds good to me, any questions, comments or corrections, you can e-mail me @ sxviper700triple@hotmail.com Peace out!
