QUEEN OF THE AIR
by Everclear
This is the first time I've tabbed a song, so bear with me.
Any questions feel free to mail me at 4walkers@worldnet.att.net
EADGBe
Scale-E major
Tab-
Well, theres a bend in the solo at the end, so a bend
example would be
G --------7b9-------------
That means a full bend
G --------7b8-------------
That means a half bend, easy.
x-muted
1-22 a fret
The begining of the song is hitting the bottom three open
strings E A and D Until it moves into the first verse.
The verse is using the octaves, a powercord with the
fifth muted.
Riff
The riff is hitting notes in the major cords in the
chorus.
Chorus G#5 A5 E5 F#5
It's all powerchords.
Bridge (sorta)
It's the same chords as the chorus, but it's an octave up.
:Solo:
The solo is very simple, it's after the bridge at the end
of the song and is continually played until the sound
fades away.
G -9---11b13-9--8--11b13-9--11b13-13-11-9-8-99--88-----9
So here's the whole song:
There is a dream
I used to have
My dream swallowed me whole
There is a bridge
Where I hate to go
That is where I first saw her
Riff 2x
High on the bridge
I've seen her
Red hair shining
There is a girl
I never knew
She was my aunt Viginia
They said that she
she just disappeared
They said I looked just like her
horus 4x muted
High on the bridge
I've seen her
Dancing and waving to me there
She smiled and raised her head
and she took to the air
Verse 2x with distortion
The is a dream
I can't escape
My memories come back to me
There is a hell
I can't escape
My memories come back to me
horus 4x with distortion
I hear the truth about it
pictures and headlines
Hidden away
I heard the truth about my real mom
Jumping from the bridge that day
ridge 4x with distorton
Now I know why ever since I was three years old
been having the same nightmare
Now I know the truth about Virginia
and why she took to the air
Verse clean
Play solo over verse clean
Well that's about all of it.
