COME A LITTLE CLOSER – Cage the Elephant Tabbed by: Quentin Ames video for this Tab available https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=Rsf59neESxQ Tuning: Standard Chords C#m G#m F#m A e|--------4------------------4-----------------2----------------5------------| B|--------5------------------4-----------------2----------------5------------| G|--------6------------------4-----------------2----------------6------------| D|--------6------------------6-----------------4----------------7------------| A|--------4------------------6-----------------4----------------7------------| E|--------x------------------4-----------------2----------------5------------| Fills Fill 1 e|----12--11--9------9-----9--------| B|---------------12-----12----9-----| G|----------------------------------| D|-------------------------------12~| A|----------------------------------| E|----------------------------------| When this part hits the 12 on the D string, it lands on the down beat. Therefore you can play it if you want, but I suggest sliding back up to the A chord, since it is happening at the exact same time. Use the 12 if you are using a rhythm guitar and lead guitar. Fill 2 e|--------12----11----9-------------| B|---------9-----9----9-------------| G|---------9-----9----9-------------| D|--------11----11---11-------------| A|----------------------------------| E|----------------------------------| The same thing goes for this part too. When it rolls around to the 11 9 9 9, it also lands on the downbeat. I would suggest not playing it and going back up to the A chord unless you have a second guitarist.
