Triggerfinger - Off the rack

OFF THE RACK - Triggerfinger Tabbed by Yves Bastien Tuning: Standard Note: While the song can be played in standard (like they do live), the intro contains a low C#, so you would have to tune down to something like drop C. This isn’t only terribly inconvenient, it also doesn’t add anything to the song when you’re playing it live. So I changed the note in a E, making it easier to play. Use artificial harmonics to get the sound right. Edit: It appears that Ruben plays the notes an octave higher, but plucks the strings behind the bridge of his guitar to get the high pitch harmonic sound. e|----------------------------| B|----------------------------| G|--9-8-----------------------| D|------11-9--11--9-----------| A|------------------9br-------| E|----------------------12--9-| Intro (x2) e|-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| D|-2-1---------------------|--2-2-1--------------------2-1-------------------| A|------4-2--4--2----------|--------4-2--4--2--------------4-2--4--2---------| E|-----------------2br-0-0-|------------------2br-0-0----------------2br-0-0-| Verse and Chorus end on |or e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---5---------5-------------------------------------------------------------| G|---6-(1 bar)-6-(1 bar)-4-(1 bar)-8-(1 bar)--9-8----9-11--------------------| D|---7---------6---------5---------9----------9-9----9-9---------------------| A|-------------4---------5---------9----------9-9----9-9---------------------| E|-----------------------3---------7----------7-7----------------------------| A C#m G B Bsus2 Example (Verse) Through seasonal catalogs (Chorus) Chorus Lead (let ring) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------12------------------------------------| G|---12b(13)-------(13)pbr12--------12---------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Solo e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--7~--7-7-9-7-8\2-2---------6-7-6-5---5-5-5-5-7-5-/9-----------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------12--------------------------------------------------| G|--------------9--11brb----11br-9-------------------------------------------| D|---9-9-9-9h11--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| NOTES Verse I,II & Chorus I, II: play the four chords, the ending is optional.

LYRICS (Intro) (Verse I) Through grand magazines who were quick to promote Her well-stocked euphoria Through seasonal catalogues Featuring the latest zigzag, saw tooth, sun-ray And rectilinear patterns I picture her against a similarly geometric background Through the smoke and mirrors She peeled from the pack I threw it to the wind Not to lose the clues I'm reaching out, I'm calling (Chorus I) Calling out, Calling out, Calling Through the hide and seek Calling out Calling out, Calling out, Calling Calling out, Calling out, Calling To the hum and heat Calling out Calling out, Calling out, Calling (Verse II) Her modern style was sleek, subtle and sensual Its simplicity alone was a radical Departure from the overwrought complexity of sin Not to misread, not to bruise Moving up slowly (Solo) (Chorus II) Calling out, Calling out, Calling A living sense of play Calling out Calling out, Calling out, Calling Calling out, Calling out, Calling I won't back away Calling out Calling out, Calling out, Calling Calling out, Calling out, Calling Calling out, Calling out, Calling ************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | ~ vibrato | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************
