Correction by Stephen Dranger sdranger@athena.valpo.edu I decided to correct and format the existing TAB of this song. Mucho thanks to miller6@aol.com. Follows is the corrected TAB, plus some bass TAB. From: miller6@aol.com Subject: 2000_light_years_away.tab Here is yet another awesome Green Day song from Kerplunk! that was posted in an ftp, but it was missing key parts needed to play the song, so I have added them so you can play the whole song. This is NOT IN STANDARD TUNING!!! If you want to play it right you HAVE TO tune down a half step, because the E is open. NOTE: You do tune down one half-step, BUT you still play the chord names as if you were in standard tuning: B: x244xx E: 022xxx F#: 244xxx etc... (looks best in Courier) Intro: B B F# G# F# Play that 4x for intro Intro and Verse bass TAB looks like this: -----------------------------|----------------------------| -----------------------------|---------4------------------| -2--2--2-----------------2-4-|-2--2--2----------------2-4-| repeat,etc. ---------2--4---2-2--2-4-----|------------4---2-2--2-4----| Verse 1: B F# I sit alone in my bedroom B F# Staring at the walls B F# I've been up all damn night long B F# My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning Chorus: G# B I hold my breath and close my eyes ----play-this-twice-------- G# F# --------------------------- And dream about her... --3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4--------- E F# *===> --3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4--------- Cause she's 2000 light years away --1\2-2-2--1\2-2-2--------- G# B --------------------------- She holds my malakite so tight so A F# Never let go... E F# B B F# G# F# (4x) Cause she's 2000 light years away Verse 2: B F# I sit outside and watch the sunrise B F# Lookout as far as I can B F# I can't see her, but in the distance B F# I hear some laughter, we laugh together Chorus "Solo": Bass plays alone w/ guitar feedback in background 4x Last time guitar plays lick: Eb: |------7-----------| Bb: |---/7---7---------| Gb: |----------9/11----| Db: |---------------9/-| enter lyrics w/bass only: I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I've been up all damn night long *==> harmonics down: E: -21//////////- My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning Chorus zach
