MARINER'S REVENGE SONG -- THE DECEMBERISTS, "Picaresque" [2005] Exact chords tabbed out by ClassicalfreaK, 2015 ** People before me have tabbed this song, I know, but not entirely. They would only chord out the first verse, or something, and this is a more complete version. I hope you enjoy! <<--LEGEND-->> acrdn accordion "acrdn->gtr" accordion tabbed out as guitar part gtr guitar BPM beats per minute -- set a metronome to the number to practice exactly in time. [G.P.] Grand Pause -- the band is silent [BRK] Break -- similar to a G.P., except some instrument or vocals are playing. In the case of the 3rd verse, the voice is playing while the band only plays the break. n/c No Chord -- don't play any chords, duh! D.S. drum set rit. ritard -- musical term meaning "slow down". In the case of the 3/4 instrumental, slow down the second time of the repeated section [last two lines of tab] ac.bs acoustic bass "ac.bs->bass" acoustic bass tabbed out as bass-guitar ======================================================================= INTRO [BPM: 104] [acrdn->gtr, bass]
