Jars of Clay Rose Colored Stain Glass Windows "Front Yard Luge" Written by Petra, arranged by Jars of Clay Tabbed originally by Jonathan Hunter, additions/corrections by David Schroder NOTES ABOUT SONG: This is the live version of Rose Colored Stain Glass Windows that appears on Front Yard Luge. It differs from the album version primarily in its layering: the electric guitar is much more prominent live, while the original version (which appeared on "Never Say Dinosaur") is much more acoustic-natured and even has a mandolin in the intro. The electric has some pretty heavy distortion on it, along with some overdrive and a quick wah near the end and the acoustic has some heavy chorus on it. Also, watch the rhythm in the acoustic riff-it's slightly different from the original version in timing and the F in on the d-string comes sooner than expected (listen and you'll hear it-it's syncopated). Intro Acoustic riff (used throughout the song): |-----1--0-1-1-----1--0-1-1-1-1--| |-----3--3-3-3-----3--3-3-3-3-3--| |-----2--2-2-2-----2--2-2-2-2-2--| |-0-0---------3-3----------------| |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|
*tDmhe above is coDm/Fnsidered one bar of intro riff The intro comprises of: 2 bars intro acoustic riff 2 bars intro acoustic riff with vocal "na na"s 4 bars intro acoustic riff with vocal "na na"s and electric strums on Dm (but not on the Dm/F)
VERSE ONE-acoustic plays chords, electric arpeggios

For the verses, the electric plays mostly arpeggios with a few straight strums. Here's a pretty close tab of what the electric plays: *1st verse *2nd verse |-1---|-0---||-----------|------------||-1--|-0h1-0---0---| |-3---|-1---||-1h3-1h3-1-|-1h3-1h3-1--||-3--|-------3---3-| |-3---|-0---||-----------|------------||-2--|-------------| |-3---|-2---||-----------|------------||-0--|-------------| |-1---|-3---||-----------|------------||----|-------------| |-----|-----||-----------|------------||----|-------------| Bb C Dm Dm Dm Dm *1st Verse *2nd Verse |-------1-|-------0-||-----------|---------0-0-||----|----| |-------3-|-------1-||-1h3-1h3-1-|-1h3-1h3-----||----|----| |-----3---|-----0---||-----------|-------------||----|----| |---3-----|---2-----||-----------|-------------||----|----| |-1-------|-3-------||-----------|-------------||----|----| |---------|---------||-----------|-------------||----|----| Bb C Dm Dm Dm Dm |-------3-------|-------1-------|-------0-------|---3---1-| |-------3---3---|-------1---1---|-------1---1---|---------| |-------3-----3-|-------2-----2-|-----0-------0-|---------| |-----5---------|-----3---------|---2-----------|-0-------| |---5-----------|---3-----------|-3-------------|---------| |-3-------------|-1-------------|---------------|---------| Gm F C Dm |-------3-------|-----1------|-1--------|-0--------| |-------3---3---|-----3------|-1--------|-1--------| |-------3-----3-|-----3------|-2--------|-0--------| |-----5---------|---3--------|-3--------|-2--------| |---5-----------|-1----------|-3--------|-3--------| |-3-------------|------------|-1--------|----------| Gm Bb F C CHORUS-electric guitar drops
