Alright guys this is the first tab I've ever tried, so we'll see how it goes. I know
it's not perfect. I may have a few extra chords or I may have missed a few but it still
sounds pretty good this way, so here we go...
Intro
Ok, so the pattern alternates between what we’ll call Rhythm Fig #1 and #2. You’ll have
to listen for the pattern in the song cause I’m not sure how to tab it, but this is the
basic gist.
Rhythm Fig #1
e|-----------------------------------------------------3---3-3---3-3-3-3-3-|
B|-----------------------------------------------------3---3-3---3-3-3-3-3-|
G|------------0-----------0----------------------------0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|
D|--------0-----------0--------------0---------0-------2---2-2---2-2-2-2-2-|
A|----3-----------2---------------0---------0----------2---2-2---2-2-2-2-2-|
E|-----------------------------3---------2---------0---0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|
Rhythm Fig #2
e|-----------------------------------------------------3---3-3---2-2-2-2-2-|
B|-----------------------------------------------------3---3-3---3-3-3-3-3-|
G|------------0-----------0----------------------------0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|
D|--------0-----------0--------------0---------0-------2---2-2---2-2-2-2-2-|
A|----3-----------2---------------0---------0----------2---2-2---2-2-2-2-2-|
E|-----------------------------3---------2---------0---0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|
Chorus
Then the chorus is pretty simple. Progression from Cadd9 to D, over to Emin7 and then a
G. To the words it looks something like this:
Cadd9 D
So was it hard for you to go?
D Emin7
Did I fail to let you know
Emin7 G Cadd9
That you are the one I needed most?
Cadd9 D
Was is it hard for you to leave
D Emin7
Without a care for me?
Emin7 G Cadd9
It takes some time to embrace the cold
Cadd9 Rhythm Fig #3
Until then I'm just a Hollow Man

Rhythm Fig #3
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----3--2-----------0-----------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------3--3--------------------------------------------------------|
Verse 2
Then right back into Rhythm Fig #2 and alternating between #1 and #2 in the verse
Rhythm Fig #2
e|-----------------------------------------------------3---3-3---2-2-2-2-2-|
B|-----------------------------------------------------3---3-3---3-3-3-3-3-|
G|------------0-----------0----------------------------0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|
D|--------0-----------0--------------0---------0-------2---2-2---2-2-2-2-2-|
A|----3-----------2---------------0---------0----------2---2-2---2-2-2-2-2-|
E|-----------------------------3---------2---------0---0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|
You complete verse 2 then into the Second chorus. After the Second Chorus, you play a
little bridge. AS he's holding the words "Hollow Man" you just alternate between the Cadd9
and the Emin7 chords then end on a D chord. After the D, you go back in to Rhythm Fig #1.
On the Line "A Shadow of the Sun?" you only play the picked portion of Rhythm Fig #1 or
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------0-----------0--------------------------------------|
D|--------0-----------0----------------0---------0---------------|
A|----3-----------2----------------0---------0-------------------|
E|-----------------------------3---------2--------------0--------|
(Let this Ring)
Then you play the chorus for one final time, followed with another section like the
bridge. Play it the same way but the outro is a slowed down Rhythm Fig 1 with a picked
Emin7. It looks kinda like this:
Outro
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------3---|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------3-----|
G|------------0---------0-----------------------------------------0-------|
D|--------0---------0------------------0-------------0----------2---------|
A|----3---------2------------------0------------0-------------2-----------|
E|-----------------------------3-----------2----------------0-------------|
So I gave it a shot. Tell me what you think. If you have any questions email me and I'll
try to get back to you. Mostly the info is there, you just have to listen for the
timing in the song.
Thanks Alot for taking the time to give this tab a shot.
