E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Things Beyond Things – Devin Townsend (Ocean Machine) E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: TallNerdGuy Tuning: DADGBe My first tab. I sat down and tried to get it as close as possible. Get yourself a nice delay effect going, and it should sound just like Devin. The song is set at a smooth 120 BPM. (You could either strum notes, muting the high D string, or just fingerpick. Using a pick sounds a bit stronger, though) Intro (Let all these notes ring) E|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|-0------------------------| D|-x--------------3---------|
