Violent Femmes - Promise

PROMISE - Violent Femmes Tabbed by: leonardo Tuning: standard Main riff (bass comes in at 0:07) G|-----2-----------------| D|-4-4---4-2-22----0h2p0-| A|--------------0h2------| E|-----------------------| Variation 1 (0:24-0:29) P P P P G|-------------------------------| D|-----------7-7-------------7-7-| A|-----5--------------5----------| E|-7-7---7-5------7-7---7-x5-----| x is a mute note which I think kinda fits in it. Those P's mean you have to pop those notes. Back to main riff (x2) until Variation 2 (0:35-0:40) P P G|--------------------------------2-2-| D|-----2------------------------------| A|-4-4---4-2-22-020202222-0-2-4-0-----| E|------------------------------------| I'm not really sure about that 0-2-4-0 pattern, but I think it may be ok! Then play main riff (x3) and then "And you're unhappy"-part (0:49-0:52) G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|-2222222222222220h2-| E|--------------------| Main riff (x2) From 1:00 to 1:40 Brian Ritchie plays little variations of the main riff. You can play whatever you want. Just play it softly! I like to throw something like this in: G|-----2--------0h2p0-----| G|-----2-----------------| G|-----2--------3-2-0-----| D|-4-4---4-2-22-------2p0-| D|-4-4---4-2-/9-7--------| D|-4-4---4-2-22-------3-2-| A|------------------------| or A|----------------9-7-9\-| or A|------------------------| E|------------------------| E|-----------------------| E|------------------------| Bridge (1:41-1:56) G|-----2------| G|---| D|-4-4---4-2·-| Play this 4 times and end with D|-4-| (let ring) A|------------| A|-4-| E|------------| E|-2-| The last minute of the song is exactly the same as the first! Enjoy it! | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
