SADDEST SONG by No Use for a Name. Album : More Betterness (1999) 1/2 This is a great song. Lyrics, music, feeling plus that definitely one of the coolest main riffs I've ever played! Once again, enjoy! (Acoustic solo is not played in normal tuning, but fuck it (only for VERY fast tuners) you can clearly hear the open strings, which don't exist when played in normal tuning) A=left guitar B=right guitar A&B=both : (D#m|C#|G#|B) # acoustic #A X2 (!second time without last chord!) y=play like first chord E-----6-------6-----4y--------------4y--------------7y--------------| B-----7-------7-----6---------------4---------------7---------------| G---8-8--8888-8--8886---------------5---------------8---------------| D---8-8--8888-8--8886---------------6---------------9---------------| A---6-6--6666-6--6664---------------6---------------9---------------| E-----------------------------------4---------------7---------------| # acoustic solo #B !!played with steel-slide!! *=play 8X |distorted E------------------------------------------------------------*------| B---2/4-----4-4/6-----6-7\\-----7/9-7-6-7\4---6\2---2/4----16---\\\-| G-------3---------3---------5---------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| : # main #A&B X2 !play all notes 5X (last three palm-muted)!
