This song is really easy to play and sing, But it's still one of my favorites. I know that there isn't an acoustic version by the band. This is just a great way to play the song. I have arranged the CORRECT chords, In the CORRECT progression. Listen to the song for the exact rhythm of the guitar. I have tabbed out how many times each chord is played. I did not tab the up/down-strokes though. It's a fairly simple ska/reggae strumming pattern. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you work on it. That's all the info on this tab as of now. Contact me with any questions, corrections, or tab requests. And as always, please rate my tab. THANKS AND ENJOY. =] ---DAVIN---

ALL CHORDS ARE RELATIVE TO THE CAPO

****!!!!
BAND: PEPPER SONG: GIVE IT UP (ACOUSTIC) TUNING: STANDARD (eBGDAE/CAPO 1ST FRET) TRANSPOSED BY: DAVIN (jtdavin89@yahoo.com)
CHORDS USED: G Bm A D Dm Bb C e[-3--2--0--5--5--6--8---] B[-3--3--2--7--6--6--8---] G[-0--4--2--7--7--7--9---] D[-0--4--2--7--7--8--10--] A[-2--2--0--5--5--8--10--] E[-3--2-----------6--8---] NOTE: This song can also be played without a capo, By using a few simple barre chords. Playing it this way allows for the upbeat rhythm to be played much easier. Although you can slightly hear your fingers across the strings. This usually occurs if you are playing an acoustic. However, I will tab this song as it is played with a capo. Any notes in parenthesis are optional. A.K.A. "GHOST NOTES" EXAMPLE:
e[--Eb6--] B[--8--] G[--8--] D[--8--] A[--6--] E[-(6)-]
So the Bb note in the parenthesis, Could be left out of the Eb chord fingering, If you do not want to play it. The barre chords are as follows:
e[--Eb6--Cm-8-Bb-6-Ab-4--Ebm-6---B7--Db9--] B[--8---8--6--4---7---7--9--] G[--8---8--7--5---8---8--10-] D[--8---10-8--6---8---9--11-] A[--6---10-8--6---6---9--11-] E[-(6)--8--6--4--(6)--7--9--]
(NOTICE THE "GHOST NOTES") VERSE 1: NOTE: For the first two lines of the verse, The root notes of the chord are strummed once, (Much like a "5" chord, or power chord). Aside from the G chord at the end of each phrase. (Except the second phrase). The verse should be played like so: (PART 1) (PART 2) D Bm A G D Bm A e[------------------3-][--------------------] B[------------------0-][--------------------] G[-7----4----2------0-][-7----4----2--------] D[-7----4----2----0-0-][-7----4----2--------] A[-5----2----0----2-2-][-5----2----0--------] E[----------------3-3-][--------------------] (PART 3) D Bm A G e[-----------------------------------------------------------------] B[-----------------------------------------------------------------] G[-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-] D[-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-] A[-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-] E[---------------------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-] PM. ............... ............... ................................ (PART 1)
DIt's been a while sinceBm I've seen yourA face,G (PART 2) DGotta say that I'm happBmy to see you come Aaround my place. (PART 3) Now,D I think we'veBm talked about it, AAnd I think I know what's coming up nextG, DLet's put our mindBms away and let our horAmones do the restG. DDoes it seem Obscene?Bm Does it seem like aA bad thing?G DWell if it is,Bm I'm sorry MissA, but you know I'm just nine-teenG. DSo don't be afBmraid if my pantsA start to leak.G DYou know damnBm well I'm in my Asexual peak.G Well...G Bm A
NOTE: The last three chords of the verse(G, Bm, and A), Are only played once each, And they are held to ring out, As shown below: "...Well..." G Bm A e[----------------] B[----------------] D[------4----2----] G[-0----4----2----] A[-2----2----0----] E[-3--------------] CHORUS: NOTE: The upbeat ska rhythm starts here. Listen to the actual song a few times through. As you listen, play along until you have it down.
GWhy don't you have somBme dirty hot sex witAh me? GIt ain't like I'm askBmin you to give it up forA free.
Oh yeah!
GWe can start it righBmt now baby get on your kneAes, GDon't make me beg agaiBmn girl I just said pleaAse.
Yeah! VERSE 2: NOTE: The second verse is played a little bit different than the first. The chord progression, (Although it uses the same chords and similar structure). Is slightly modified and sounds vaguely different than the first verse. D Bm A D Bm A G e[----------------][------------------------------------] B[----------------][------------------------------------] G[-7----4----2----][-7----4----2----2-2-2-2-2-2---------] D[-7----4----2----][-7----4----2----2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-] A[-5----2----0----][-5----2----0----0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-] E[----------------][----------------------------3-3-3-3-]
DNow when you looBmk down don't beA misled. DI found my life'sBm purpose and it's gettingA up stairs and into your beGd. DWell there's the phonBme girl go right on aheaAd. DI'm sure you'd ratBmher be with your stupidA boyfriend instead!G
BRIDGE: NOTE: The tempo dramatically reduces here, And the notes are strummed once, And left to ring out. If you are playing an electric guitar, A smooth chorus or reverb setting here is superb. If you are playing an acoustic guitar, Strum the strings closer to the neck, Rather than the bridge. This technique will give you a more hollow sound out of the chords.
e[--Dm5----Bb6----C8-----] B[--6----6----8-----] G[--7----7----9-----] D[--7----8----10----] A[--5----8----10----] E[-(5)---6----8-----]

GWe can start it righBmt now baby get on your kneAes, GDon't make me beg agaiBmn girl I just said pleaAse.
Yeah! OUTRO: NOTE: The outro is comprised of the same, Chords and rhythm as the chorus.
