We Weren't Born to Follow (guitar tab)

Well, seeing as this is yet to hit the CD shelves anywhere yet and considering we're playing it at our next gig this coming weekend, I thought I'd detail the guitar parts that I play (for those that are interested).

The song itself has probably 3 separate guitars layered in places but this tab makes it nice and easy to get a similar sound with just the one and the song is so straight forward, you can just make use of the few patterns listed below to play the entire thing.

Intro:

Code: Select all

   G#/B            E/B             F#/Bb
E------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------------------
G--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
D------------------------------------------------------------------
A--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-
E--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-


   E            B/Eb        F# (Fill 1*)
E------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------
G--9-9-9/11\9---8-8-8/9\8---6-6-6-4-6--6-6-6-4-6-
D---------------------------4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-
A--7-7-7/9\-7---6-6-6/7\6---4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-
E--0-0-0--------7-7-7----------------------------



Verses:

B - G#m - C#m - F#

Pre-chorus (Yeah, yeah, yeah):

E - B

Chorus:

G#m - E - F# - C#m
G#m - E - F# - Fill (similar to Fill 1*)
B - E - F# - C#m
G#m - E - F# - Fill (as above)
E - B - Fill 1*

The "solo" (:roll:) is just the same chords as the second half of the intro.

That's pretty much it. The chord names minor/major may not be right (I only ever learned power chords and never fussed too much over theory! :lol:) but I think they're mostly accurate.

Again, comments and suggestions welcome but having played this already in a band setting, it does sound damned close to the original. ;)
