--- Save Me - Unwritten Law --- Tabbed By: Kevin Buzby 20/21 March 2005 E-mail: kjlee@bu.edu AIM SN: kjlee2112 Tuning: Eb (EbAbDbGbBbeb) Key: <7>: Harmonic 9. : Staccato ~ : Sustain x : Play Riff x here Chords used(relative to tuning--so a D is really a Db, etc., etc.): D A Bm G Em Bb D/A C#5addA(not quite sure of the name, but this works) -----------2-----------------------------------------------------| -7---------3-----------------------------------------------------| -7----6----4----4----0---------7----6----------------------------| -7----7----4----5----2----8----7----7----------------------------| -5----7----2----5----2----8----5----4----------------------------| ------5---------3----0----6----5---------------------------------| Notes: Verses have a distorted electric playing with low volume and tremolo effect. Also a lot of feedback is used during the verses using the A harmonic(7th fret, G string). It's pretty straightforward, just use your ears and you'll see/hear what's going on. Sounds like there might be a mellotron or something in there too. Be sure to have that driving acoustic at the breakdown down--best part of the song! :) Any questions, comments, requests just shoot me an email. Thanks!
