HUNDRED MILE HIGH CITY ====================== Here`s my attempt at Ocean Colour Scene`s HUNDRED MILE HIGH CITY from the album MARCHIN` ALRADY. You`ll find that most of it is right but some of the guitar parts are a little off but they do sound right.
CHORDS USED: ============ E (022400) D (x57775) A (577655) C (x35553) G (355433)
Intro: ======
|----------------| You`ll know what I mean. I can tab |----------------| this part out. It`s all those E`s. |----------------| |----------------| |----------------| |--0--0--0--0-etc|
This is the main intro riff and the main riff what is used in the verses. It is play twice on it`s own then this is played over the top of it:
|--20--20--20--| Then this is played over and over. |--------------| Until the intro ends.... |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| |--------------|
Verse 1: (I think the intro riff is played) ======== E D A E So I said I`m on a roll so I need a car D A E And I know that I`m getting alive D A E And I say I`ve got faith and a season D A And I say it`s where I`m going to
Chorus: (Mute the strings between each chord) ======= C G D A I get a need and I want to please it C G D A I gott a face and I`m wanting to feel it
C G D A |-------------------------------| This is played over |-1-------0------3-------2------| last two lines in |---0-------0------2-------2----| the chorus |-----2-------2------0-------2--| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| C G D A The more I feel is the more that I need it C G E The more I need is the less I believe it
|-------------------| This last part isn`t right but |-------------------| the rest of it is... more or less |--7h9p7--7~--------| |-------------9-----| |---------------7x--| |-------------------|
Verse 2: (Listen to strumming pattern) ======== Well I want a good love by my side Keep on getting out of love and my pride And I know I keep hurting my love yeah But I know it aint killing
Chorus: =======
Musical Interlude 2: ====================
|-----------------------------------| There`s a whistel |-----------------------------------| played here. Scared |-----------------------------------| the crap out of me at |-----------------------------------| the OCS gig in Febuary!!! |-----------------------------------| |--0x-0x-0x-0x-0x-0x-0x-0x----------| Whistel
|---------------| Play this 8 times. It is played |---------------| quite quicklly so be carefull... |---------------| |---------------| |--10h12-12-12--| |---------------|
|-----------------------------| This part is played |--8h10--10-10-8--------------| twice. The next bit is |----------------9-8-7---7--5-| quite hard. It`s easier |----------------------7------| to do on a gibson Les Paul |-----------------------------| rather than on a Fender Strat... |-----------------------------| A ~ ~ ~ ~ |--------------------------| The chord A is played |--------------------------| once and it is not strummed! |--------------------------| |--7p5p0-7p5p0-7p5p0-7p5p0-| |--------------------------| |--------------------------|
|--------------------------------------| Play twice |--------------------------------------| |--5-5-X-X-----------7-7-X-X-----------| |--5-5-X-X--5-5-X-X--7-7-X-X--7-7-X-X--| |--3-3-X-X--5-5-X-X--5-5-X-X--7-7-X-X--| |-----------3-3-X-X-----------5-5-X-X--|
Then play the second part of the chorus lead twice. (Y`know - the over dubbed part)
C G D A |-----------------------5--| This is played about 4 |-----------------------5--| times I think... |------5-----------7----6--| |----5-------5-------7--7--| |--3-------5----5-------7--| |--------3--------------5--|
|----------------------------------| I`m sure they`ve |----------------------------------| got this bit from |------5--------------3------------| SONG OF A BAKER |----5--------5-----3--------3---2-| by the Small Faces |--3--------5-----1--------3-----2-| |---------3--------------1-------0-|
D5 D5 E5 |---------------------------------------| Yet again... |---------------------------------------| play twice |---------------------------------------| |--12----13----14-----------------------| Bass guitar |--12----13----14-----------10x12-10----| doesn`t play |--10----11----12-----10-12----------12-| riff 2nd time
(Some sort of effect... maybe flange or wah wah pedal) |--12-s-0--| |--12-s-0--| Play that a few times then the guitar |--13-s-1--| part above etc, etc.... |--14-s-2--| |--14-s-2--| |--12-s-0--|
Then the song ends with loads of noise and stuff but I can`t be arsed to write that out.
