THE BRIDGE SONG - Dishwalla
--
Tabbed by: Kevin Buzby - 10 March 2005
E-mail: kjlee@bu.edu
AIM SN: kjlee2112
Tuning: EADGBe (Standard 440Mhz)
Notes: This song was requested of me to be done--about three weeks ago I promised it
to be done that weekend, so I apologize, I had a lot of school stuff goin on.
I didn't know it, but it wasn't hard at all. It is one of those sweet, simple songs
that Dishwalla have a knack for.
It's pretty straight forward, but if there are questions, ask away.
Chord key:
(Quick note: The Am-Asus2-Am and D-Dsus4-D are just hammers-on and pull-offs
to those middle chords for accentuation--again, a Dishwalla trait.)
G D/F# Em7 C Am Asus2 D Dsus4

Riff:
(This is the riff played over the second choruses--use a slide--
with lots of reverb and some distortion to get that nice legato feel.
Again, use your ears, and you'll figure out which part to use where.
It's really basic.)

Intro:
G-D/F#-Em7 x2
(listen for the timing--it's just a basic strumming pattern anyways, with just one
acoustic strumming and one doubling or providing arpeggios to make the sound sound
fuller. I'm not going to bother tabbing any of the main chords because they are
easy to pick up on. This is a good 'first song' to learn.)
Verse 1:
I don't know where to go
G So I D/F#guess i'll have to Em7fly
I'll have to Gdream of all good D/F#things before I Em7die
So where to Ggo
Lord I D/F#guess I'll have to Em7fly
I'll have to Gdream of all good D/F#things before I Em7die
Chorus:
And it's Cgetting so much Em7harder to be AmoneAsus2 theseAm days
C So much Em7harder to bAmeliAsus2eve Am
C And so much Em7harder to be AmoneAsus2 theseAm days
C So much Em7harder to bDelieveDsus4 yeah bDelieve
Verse 2:
And did they Gknow that they'd D/F#need a fence so Em7high
Cause givin' Gup is a D/F#total waste of Em7time
I stop to Gbreathe iD/F#n air as Em7I
I watch the Gground beneath us D/F#blend into the Em7sky
Chorus:
And it's Cgetting so much Em7harder to be AmoneAsus2 theseAm days
C So much Em7harder to AmbelAsus2ieve Am
C It's so much Em7harder to be AmoneAsus2 theseAm days
C So much Em7harder to DbeDsus4lieve D
Cause it's Cgetting so much Em7harder to be AmoneAsus2 theseAm days
C So much Em7harder to AmbelAsus2ieve Am
C So much Em7harder to be Amone these days
C So much Em7harder to bDelDsus4ieve D
Outro:
(He plays something similar to this over and over. This isn't exact. He's really just fingerpicking
the chords apart within the key. Just arpeggiate really, and you'll get what they
are trying to accomplish here. Play the notes in () after the first time he starts playing this passage.)
