DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - STEADIER FOOTING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artist: Death Cab for Cutie
Song: Steadier Footing
Tabbed By: Josh B
I'm just going to identify these chords by their bass notes. It does NOT actually
the chord being played (most of them are just minors).
[B] [G#] [E(1)] [Eb] [E(2)] [C#] [E(3)]
E||----------------------------------------||
B||--4----------0----4-----5-----5-----8---||
G||----------------------------------------||
D||-------6----------1-----2---------------||
A||--2---------------------------4-----7---||
E||-------4-----0--------------------------||
[riff]
The riff is just 3 chords that you arpeggiate.
C#sus2 : x46644
Some kind of E : x7644x (barre 4, use your pinky for the 7)
Bsus2 : x24422
E||------------------------------------|
B||----------4--------4--------2-------|
G||------------6--------4--------4-----|
D||-------6---------6--------4---------|
A||---2/4---------7--------2-----------|
E||------------------------------------|
Note: when you play the riff at the end of the song, the first time he slides 4/7 when
to the "E", the rest of the time there is no slide.
B G# E B (x2)
[Eb] [E(2)] [C#] [E(3)]
[B][r[G#]iff[E(1)]] x2[B]
B G# E(1) B (x2)
[riff] x2
[B] It's gotten la[G#]te and now I [E(1)]want to be al[B]one.
[B] All of our [G#]friends were here, they [E(1)]all have gone [B]home.
And here I [Eb]sit on the front [E(2)]porch
watching the [C#]drunks stumble [E(3)]forth into the [B]night.
"You gave me a h[G#]eart attack, I [E(1)]did not see you [B]there.
[B] I thought you had [G#]dissappeared so [E(1)]early away from [B]here."
and this is the c[Eb]hance I never [E(2)]got
to make a [C#]move, but we just [E(3)]talk about
[riff]
the people we've met in the last five years
[riff]
and will we remember them in ten more.
[B] I let you [G#]bum a smoke, you [E(1)]quit this winter [B]past.
[B] I've tried [G#]twice before but like [E(1)]this, it just would not [B]last
[riff w/slide][riff]
