Architects and Engineers - Guster Album: Easy Wonderful Tabbed by: Rishesh Singh Email: sheesh@sheeshmusic.com Feel free to hit me up with questions/comments/corrections. There's a lot going on in the studio version of this and I've yet to hear a stripped-down version, so have some fun with the chord voicings and the song will certainly carry its' own. I opted for the voicings I did based on this live video I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxvqjkFbJdY and filling it out a bit for solo playing. Take a listen to the song and the strumming will be pretty self-evident. Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Chords Used e|--------------------------0----7----5----4----2------------------------| B|--9-----4-----4-----------0----7----5----4----2------------------------| G|--9-----4-----4------4----1----8----6----4----3------------------------| D|--9-----4-----4------2----2----9----7----6----4------------------------| A|--7-----2-----x------2----2----9----7----6----4------------------------| E|--------------2------0----0----7----5----4----2------------------------| E B F#/B E5 E* B* A G#min F# (stars denote to use the specified voicing…to play it the way he does live don't bother worrying about anything starred in the tab beyond the B*) Intro: E B F#/B E5 (strum each six times, repeat twice)
EI live on the second Bfloor F#/B E5 Of an old row house down in Baltimore EWatching all the colors and Bthe shapes F#/B E5 Standing tall up here
(E5) My face against the window E* B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo (E*) My face against the window E* B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo B*
EThese moments, they can never lBast F#/B E5 Like a sad old man with his photographs EKeeps wishing for the things he cannot Bchange F#/B E5 Standing tall up here
(E5) My face against the window E* B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo (E*) My face against the window E* B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo B*
BSo the architects and theA engineers G#minBuild their monuments, F#make their souvenirs B* We are occupants It's a Atrap, this town We are G#minburning up We are F#fading out B* ** We are shooting stars
[that's my arrangement of how it would go chord-wise, what's really being played during the bridge is tabbed below (strumming not shown…just follow the progression above for guidance)] e-------------2-| B-4---4---4---2-| G-4---4---4---3-| D-4---4---4---4-| A-2---x---x---4-| E-----5---4---2-| ^ ^ use your thumb on the E string for these two **This is played throughout the background of the bridge, and is most noticeable during the 'shooting stars line. To get the riff going throughout the bridge with one guitar just keep adding alternations between the 4th and 5th fret on B (as shown below) to the chords used in the transcribed version of the bridge above. e---------------| B-4--5--4--5--4-| G-4--4--4--4--4-| (etc...) D-4--4--4--4--4-| A-2--2--2--2--2-| E---------------| E B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo E B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo E B F#/B E* OooooooOooOoooOoo
