PLEASE RATE THIS! THANKS!
Favourite Kings of Leon song this one,
but no one seems to have tabbed it right yet!
The song is pretty simple and I have tabbed
lead and ryhthm for it but I do not know the bass
so you may have to work that one out for yourselves!
The format of the song is
Intro
Verse 1
Chorus 1
Link 1
Verse 2
Chorus 2
Link 2
Verse 3
Chorus 3
Outro
CALEB (rhythm) plays this variation of a D chord
all through the song up until the outro (he only
plays it continuously in the intro with
Matthew and strikes the chord once at the start
of Verse 1 & 2):
e--16--|
b--17--|
g--16--|
The intro and verse for MATTHEW (lead) is also
quite simple:
e---------------------------------------|
b---------------------------------------|
g---------------------------------------|
d---------------------------------------|
a--7-9-11--11-11-11--7-9-11--11-11-11---|
E--0-0--0--0--0--0---0-0--0--0---0--0---|
e---------------------------------------]
b---------------------------------------]
g---------------------------------------]
d--11-9-11--11-11-11--11-9-11--11-11-11-]
a---0-0--0---0--0--0---0-0--0---0--0--0-]
E---------------------------------------]
(This is played for Intro Verse 1 & 2 and
Link 1)
The chorus is only played by MATTHEW.
The ~ means let the chord ring out):
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kings_of_leon/taper_jean_girl_tab_ver_3.html ]
e--------------]
b--------------]
g--------------] x4
d--9-9-9-7~~~~-]
a--7-7-7-5~~~~-]
E--0-0-0-0~~~~-]
(This is played in Chorus 1,2 & 3)
In Link 2 and Verse 3 Caleb plays his chord
throughout and MATTHEW plays this through
both aswell (both go back to normal Chorus
playing for Chorus 3).
e--12------------]
b-----14---------]
g--------13-11-9-]
d----------------]
a----------------]
E----------------]
In the Outro CALEB plays this:
e-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
b-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
g-1-1-1-1111-1-1-1-1-]
d-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-] x 12
a-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-]
e-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
While MATTHEW plays this:
e--------------------]
b--------------------]
g--------------------]
d--------------------] x 12
a-7-7-5-5577-5-5-5-5-]
e-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
Then CALEB ends the song with:
e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
b-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
g-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
d-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
a-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
And MATTHEW ends the song with:
e-------------------|
b-------------------|
g-------------------|
d-------------------|
a-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|
e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|
I explained it in the simplest way I could but it
probably leads to some confusion so any trouble
