Tuning: C G C G C E
This is the Last Time by: The National tabbed by: Benign Viewer Tuning: Eb-F-Bb-G-Bb-Eb (a variation on Bb Modal tuning) This is how I play 'This is the Last Time'. I reckon it sounds very close to the original tone of the album version (hence the rather odd but fun tuning, the album is probably in a more conventional Eb or B tuning). Most of the other tabs are for the live version which just doesn't sound as great to me. There are two main riffs that alternate through the song with backing chords; then an outro of chords. p = pull off / = slide up \ = slide down _____________________________________________________________ Chord Chart: F Bb Gm C* G* Dm* Fm Cm Ab Eb Eb|--2--|--2--|--4--|-----|-----|-----|--2--|--0--|--0--|--0--| Bb|--2--|--0--|--0--|-----|-----|-----|--2--|--2--|--2--|--0--| G |--2--|--3--|--0--|--0--|--0--|-----|--1--|--0--|--1--|--0--| Bb|--2--|--0--|--4--|--2--|--4--|--4--|--2--|--2--|--2--|--0--| F |--0--|--0--|--2--|--2--|--2--|--4--|--0--|--2--|--3--|--2--| Eb|-(2)-|-(2)-|-----|-----|-----|--2--|-(2)-|-(0)-|-(0)-|--0--| Note: most of these chord variations are easy to play, but if you're having trouble with the Ab chord, you can just mute the fifth string. _____________________________________________________________ [Intro/Verse riff]: (start with an up pick) Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------| G |------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|--2-(2)-2/4\2p0--------------(0)----------------------------------| Repeat F |--0-(0)-0-------2-(2)-2/4\2p0-5-----------------------------------| Eb|----------------4-(4)-4-------0-----------------------------------| Oh, when I lift you up you feel Like a hundred times yourself I wish everybody knew What's so great about you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You don't think before you jump And I said I wouldn't get sucked in Ahhhhahhh [Chorus/Bridge Riff]: Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------| G |------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|--9-(9)-9/11\9\7-9--(9)--9---------(0)----------------------------| Repeat F |--7-(7)-7--------10-(10)-10/12\10\8-9-----------------------------| Eb|------------------------------------7-----------------------------| This is the last time [Intro/Verse Riff]
