EP : THE GENTLE ART OF SPOONBENDING 
TUNING: EADGBE 
TABBED BY: CC ([email protected]) 
 
To start, the bass just strums the low E note and then the guitar comes 
in and plays an E barre chord. Although there are two guitar parts, I?ve 
sort of blended them into one part cos I only have two hands. Also, I 
play the chords as barres. 
 
Then when the intro kicks in the bass is playing this: 
 
e---------------------------- 
B---------------------------- 
G---------------------------- 
D---------------------------- 
A--------------4-3-0--------- 
E--0-0--4-3-0---------1-3-3-- 
 
While the guitar plays this similar riff: 
 
e------------------------------------------ 
B--------------------14-13----------------- 
G---------13-12-------------14--10--12-12-- 
D--14-14---------14------------------------ 
A------------------------------------------ 
E------------------------------------------ 
 
During the verse the progression is E and then Am, but you play the A 
very briefly at the end of the progression and quickly get back to the E 
chord. Otherwise it just sounds wanky. 
 
PreChorus: 
 
Am D 
 
 
Also in the prechorus there?s this cool riff in between the lines 
 
e--12-10---------------- 
B--------12-10---------- 
G--------------12---14-- 
D----------------------- 
A----------------------- 
E----------------------- 
 
 
CHORUS 
     Am    E 
It's up to you 
     Am    E 
It's up to you 
C		D	E 
Do what you wanna do 
 
BRIDGE: 
Played with some kind of funky wah I think... 
 
Progression goes something like: 
 
E D C G C D G  
 
Then this arpeggio-like riff: 
 
e-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
B-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
G------0---0---0--------0---0---0--------0---0---0--------0---0---0-- 
D----4---4---4---4----4---4---4---4----4---4---4---4----4---4---4---4 
A--2----------------2----------------1----------------1-------------- 
E-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Then Intro / Verse / Chorus
