  • [INTRO/VERSE riff tab]-
     
    Note: The intro/vers riff is really more of an extremely palm-muted
  • "chop-strum" (as I call it) pattern, and not something that should
    be tabbed. But this tab will give you an idea of how to "chop-strum" it.
    The most effective way to play the intro is to actually bar them as
  • almost full chords. Here are the fingerings:
    0224XX Eno3 (index barring fret 2, ring on 4)
    2443XX F# (regular F# bar chord)
  • 4664XX G#m (regular G#m bar chord)
     
    Then use your RING finger for the 4-6 slide and back to 4, and you'll
  • find you're right in place to play the Eno3 chord again. It works
    really well, try it ...
     
  • Eno3 F# G#m G#m Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    E|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
    B|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
  • G|---4-------3----------------4/6--4|---4-------3----------------4/6--4|
    D|---2-------4-------6-----66-------|---2-------4-------6-----66-------|

  • E|0-----0-2-----2-4-----4-----------|0-----0-2-----2-4-----4-----------|
     
    In addition to palm muting, time the slight lifting of your left hand
  • fingers to make that sound, and really chop at those strums.
     
    [Song Chords]
  •  
    [INTRO]
    (Follow tab of riff above)
  •  
    0224XX Eno3 (index barring fret 2, ring on 4)
    2443XX F#
  • 4664XX G#m
     
    (Other transcriptions put a B chord here, but there is definitely no
  • chord change; it stays on the G#m. The 4/6 slide on the G string is
    what people are hearing, but that's just a little melody; if you listen
    to the electric bass and the overall chord tonality, it stays on the
  • G#m for sure.)
     
    [VERSE 1]
  • (The riff continues into the verses, so the chords are
    exactly the same here as in the intro.)
     
  • Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    I keep trying to find a life
    Eno3 F# G#m G#m
  • On my own, apart from you
    Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    I am the king of excuses
  • Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    I've got one for every selfish thing I do
     
  •  
    [CHORUS]
    (The exact guitar part isn't as distinguishable here as in the intro
  • and verse; however, the chords are clear. Here are some general
    fingerings that work well:
     
  • 022100 E
    244300 F#
    466444 G#m
  • 799877 B
    X24442 B
     
  • (You can continue the intro/verse riff for the first four lines of the
    chorus, but you can't hear the acoustic guitar clearly. However, the
    electric bass does play the 4/6 slide on some lines.)
  •  
    E F# G#m G#m
    What's going on inside of me?
  • E F# G#m G#m
    I despise my own behavior
    E F# G#m G#m
  • This is only serves to confirm my suspicions,
    E F# G#m G#m
    that I'm still a man in need of a Savior
  •  
    E B F# G#m
    I wanna be in the Light as You are in the Light
  • E B F# F#
    I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
    E B F# G#m
  • Oh Lord be my Light and be my salvation
    E F# G#m G#m
    'cause all I want is to be in the Light,
  • E F# G#m G#m
    all I want is to be in the Light
     
  •  
    [VERSE 2]
    (Play the intro/verse riff again, just about the same as first verse,
  • except the extra rhythmic variation at the end of the second line,
    which is especially interesting in the live Freak Show CD)
     
  • Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    The disease of self runs through my blood
    Eno3 F# G#m G#m
  • It's a cancer fatal to my soul
    Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    Every attempt on my behalf has failed
  • Eno3 F# G#m G#m
    To bring this sickness under control
     
  • [REPEAT CHORUS]
     
    [BRIDGE tab]
  •  
    Since this 8 measure riff is repeated a few times, and each time
    slightly differently, this tab is a combination of a few variations
  • played on the CD (_Jesus Freak_). Most of the notes in parentheses (#)
    are those added in especially to adapt for solo guitar (since the bass
    drum on beat 3 adds a lot of rhythm on the CD). The tab includes many
  • definite notes/melodies that are definitely played on the CD
    (especially higher pitch notes), but there may also be some implied
    notes that simply make sense.
  •  
    Also, this riff requires relatively advanced fingerpicking skills or
    flat-picking skills. This is where we acoustic & classical or
  • classically trained players get to use our skills :) The fingerpicking
    is pretty straightforward; however, to play the two/three notes with
    the pick, just hold the pick with your index and thumb while using your
  • middle and/or ring finger to play the other notes. (I prefer this method
    because switching to fingerpicking halfway through the song causes a
    major dynamic drop).
  •  
    You will probably also find it easier to place down these full bar
    chords even though you won't be using all the notes.
  • X46654 C#m
    X68876 D#m
    466444 G#m
  • 46X446 G#m2
    022100 E
    024400 E2
  • 799877 B
    X24442 B
    X24422 B2
  •  
    I prefer to use the lower position B or even the B2, but second time
    through the riff on the CD, you can hear the high 7th fret B, so they
  • use high position B. Also, with the E2, you can hear an implied E2,
    especially on the first time through the riff. but it's up to you.
