Blue Oyster Cult – In Thee tab
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN THEE - Blue Oyster Cult ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Anne Drury Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com Date: September 13, 2005 Written by: A. Lanier CD: "Mirrors" (1979, Columbia Records) Notes: ^...bend (w=whole step) h...hammer on p...pulloff r...release bend /...slide up \...slide down <>..harmonic x...dead note ~...vibrato =...hold note -Tuning: Standard -strum pattern is shown for Intro & Verses (same for both): d=down, u=up -chords are written in for only one verse (to avoid tab looking cluttered), but chords are the same for all verses -for harmonics, fret the note indicated, then play harmonic an octave (12 frets) up from that note -I don't know the name of the second to last chord in the Chorus - I put the notes (F,B,D) into a chord finder and it came out as F flat5 6th (no 3rd), so that's what I'll call it. It's played like this: EADGBE xxx431 -bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time -song is in A Major, except for guitar solo section which is in D (solo is in D Major) INTRO: A A E | D E | d u d d d d | d u d d d u d dA A E D E E ---------------------| B ---------------------| G ---------------<2>---| D ----------<2>--------| A --0------------------| E ---------------------|1ST VERSE: A A E D E A A E D E Maybe I'll see you again, baby, and maybe I won't A A E D E A A E D E Maybe you've bought your ticket, gone back to Detroit A D C#7 F#m Airplanes make strangers of us all Bsus4 B Give us distance E A D Much too easilyE (Jim says...)
