Cappoless Cannonball tab

Ithilsul · 06-09-2007, 04:26 AM

I was messing around and figured out it can be played without a capo, so yay. Heres what I figured...

Note: After a while I got tired of typing out the same thing for strumming, so just play it by ear :P. Also, wrote out the chord forms above the tab so you can see how to... finger it i guess. And I put the part that follows the lyric melody in itallics. Lotsa hammers just like Dam-o does.

Intro/verse:

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Am C
--------------------------------------
-1-1-1-1-0--------------1-------------
-2-2-2-2-2-2-0h2-0------0-------------
-2-2-2-2-2---------------2------0--2---
-0---------------------3------2---------
----------------------------------------

Still a little hard to say...
Am C
-0-0-0-0-1-0-0---------------
-1-1-1-1-1-1-3---1-1---1-3---
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---0-0---0-0---
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---2-2-0h2-2---
------------------3-3---3-3---
-------------------------------

Whats goin' on
Fsus7 Some-kinda-G (slide up)
-1-1---1---1-----3-3-5-3-5-3-
-1-1---1---1-----3-3-3-3-3-3-
-2-2-0h2-0h2----4-4-4-4-4-4-
-3-3---3---3----5-5-5-5-5-5--
------------------------------
------------------------------

Chorus (edit: whoops, second part was wrong before)
Stones, taught me to fly...
(Hammers etc like damien does)
C B/G
-0----0--
-1----3--
-0----0--
-2----0--
-3----2--
---------

So it's not hard to fall when you float like a cannon ball
Fsus7 G-thing
-1-----3--
-1-----3--
-2-----4--
-3-----5--
----------
----------

Verse again etc. Thats should be all the parts to the song, this tab is useless if you don't know it well enough anyway... ha.

Why not just buy a capo? There's a reason he plays it with one...

Because sometimes people like to find alternative ways of doing things.

Well, an Em played with a capo on 5th is exactly equivilent to playing an Am bar chord, and the basic chord progression (with capo on 5th) is Em, C, G, D (what a surprise Damien!) So what you're actually playing when you have the capo on is Am, F, C, G.

But you haven't put in an F's or G's in your tab, maybe you should add 'em in

(I sorta see why, cos it's picked n all, but if you're playing it a la Damo, it's half picked and half strummed, so 'twould be clearer to mark what the progression is.)

You've also got a nice description of how to play 9 Crimes and Rootless Tree once you add in those two chords. Good old Damo - simplicity is key, I reckon!

the b/g is just a G without the root note, and the Fsus7 is pretty much the same, but an F, and the slide up is a G, just inversions. I don't think it sounds right playing the full chords, so I didn't mention it, also when he plays with a capo he can't hit that low F and G anyway, but to each his own!
