<< STANDARD TUNING >>>
Another song from musical comedy duo, Ylvis! Once again, they use some very
interesting chords progressions and transitions.
I was originally going to make this tab with the guitar tuned down half a
step so you can hit the low Eb (D#) note during the verse chords, but I think most
people would prefer a standard tuning version.
Regardless, I have included a Bonus Intro section at the bottom of the tab
for those feeling ambitious enough to play it a half step down. ;)
There are a lot of subtle chord variations throughtout the songs (like sus2
sus4 6 maj7b5). You can always simplify the chord and use a regular
major/minor chord if you find them to be too cumbersome.
As always, listen to the song while playing with the tab to get the timing
down!
-------------------------------

A It's the Stonehenge, it's the Stonehenge!
God,G it is the greatest henge of Aall!
What's the meaC#mning Dof EmStone-Ghenge'!
--------------------------------------------------
There's the tab! As you can see they use all sorts of music tricks by using chords from
different keys.
You can make some of the chords more complex to better match the piano if you'd like,
though the chords I used above should provide just enough flavor making the song overly difficult.
<<**BONUS SECTION**>>
Tune guitar half a step down and play the following for the intro (let the notes ring):
eb|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|--4----4-----4----4-----4----4----4----4----4----4----4----4----4-----4----4----4--|
Gb|--4----4-----3----3-----4----4----3---------4----4----3----3----4-----4----3-------|
Db|----------6----------------------------6----------------------------------------6--|
Ab|---------------------6---------------------------------------------7---------------|
Eb|--4---------------------4-------------------0-------------------0------------------|
Then play the rest of the song as normal but shift each chord one half step up (one fret).
