Alien Lanes

for tabbing these

AS WE GO UP
----------- 

The chorus and verse are both 
arpeggiated barre chords. These are 
the
notes I think they're playing, but 
the guitar is pretty hard to hear
for most of the song

Verse:

  G          C         E         
e---3----------------------------
B------3--------5----------------
G-----------------5-------9------
D---------------------------9----
A------------3-------3-7------7--
E-3-------3----------------------
  D
e|--------------------------------------| 
B|--------------------------------------| 
G|--7-----------------------------------| 
D|----7---------------------------------| 
A|5-------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------------------------| 

Chorus:

  G         C         Bm        
e----3-------------------2--------
B------3------5------------3------
G---------------5-----------------
D---------------------------------
A-----------3------3--2------2--3-
E-3-------3-----------------------
  C
e|----------------------------------
B|5---------------------------------
G|--5-------------------------------
D|----------------------------------
A|----------------------------------
E|----------------------------------

For the bridge ("I speak in 
monotone...") play Bb and C, 
strummed
normally.
------------ 


BLIMPS GO 90
------------ 

The verse is a pretty simple little 
riff.

Play this thing a few times:
e------------------| 
B------------------| 
G------------------| 
D---4-------4------| 
A-2---2------------| 
E-------0-0---0----| 

Followed by:
e---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G---------------------------------
D---------------------------4-----
A----6-------6-----4------2--2----
E--4---4-4-4---0-2---2----------0-

e|-------|        
B|-------|        
G|-------|   etc. 
D|--4----|        
A|-------|        
E|0---0--|        

               ^ (This is kind of a 
grace note played as you move your
                  fingers from the 
G#5 to F#5.)

The transition from verse to chorus 
goes:
e-------------------| 
B-------------------| 
G-------------------| 
D----4-----4--------| 
A--2---2-1---1-2----| 
E-------------------| 

The chorus is just two note power 
chords:

  G#5   F#5   E5
  G#5   E5    F#5

The violin part is basically four 
notes played in different orders.
e---11---9-----------|   
B-----------12---9---|   

e|is the 
B|through

e|first riff; the violin plays these 
B|out the rest of the song.          

notes 
      

-------------- 


CLOSER YOU ARE
-------------- 

The verse is just a change between C
 and G barre chords.
The chorus is G C Bm Bb A.
For "Now you can see the boys" play 
C then B. (It might be C then G,
I'm not really sure.)
The "dreaming, scheming" riff is 
this:
e-----0-0-0-------0-0-0-----------
B---0-------0---0-------0-----0-0-
G---------------------------0-----
D---------------------------------
A-0-----------0-------------------
E-------------------------0-------

e|----------------------------------
B|0-------0-0-0---------------------
G|--0---0-------0-------------------
D|----------------------------------
A|----------------------------------
E|----0-----------------------------

The last part goes like this:

Continues after the ad
   C          G               Csus2

e--3-----3----3---------------3---
B--5----------3---------------3---
G--5--5----5--4---------------5-5-
D--5----------5---------------5---
A--3----------5---------------3---
E-------------3-------------------

e|-------------------3--------------
B|-3--3--3-----------3--------------
G|----------5--------4--------------
D|-------------------5--------------
A|-------------------5--------------
E|-------------------3--------------

I get up      Seven o'clock   Drive 
myself up to the lookout rock
------------ 


LITTLE WHIRL
------------ 

The verse riff is:  D A G   E G A
The chorus is:  G  A
End on a D.
----------- 


MY SON COOL
----------- 

The intro is:  B   D
               B   D   E

The verse is:  A  D  A  F#  E  F#  D
  B  D
 And then repeat the intro.
---------- 


PIMPLE ZOO
---------- 

The first part is E then G.
The break in between the two main 
parts is B G# D#.
Then the final part is E then Db.
-------------- 


A SALTY SALUTE
-------------- 

The guitar part to this is simply D 
and E. However, I think it sounds
better to follow the baseline, 
especially if you're just playing 
alone.
In that case, the chords are: D  A  
D  G  F#  E  F#  G.
------------------ 


WATCH ME JUMPSTART
------------------ 

The opening riff is 3 barre chords: 
E F# A F# E
For the verse, I play the same 
chords, only leave the low E string 
open
and alternate it with the chords 
like this:
e-0-----0----------2-----2-----
B-0-----0----------2-----2-----
G-1-----1----------3-----3-----
D-2-----2----------4-----4-----
A-2-----2----------4-----4-----
E---0-0---0-0-...----0-0---0-0-

e|-----5------| 
B|-----5------| 
G|-----6------| 
D|-----7------| 
A|-----7------| 
E|...----0-0--| 

Followed by the main riff.
For the "Shoot me down part" play E 
followed by A.
Then, for "Cause I won't be around" 
play a Dbm. The little riff that
goes on there is just the B string; 
while making the Dbm, lift your
middle finger on and off, like this 
B-5-5-5-4-5. The rest of the bridge
goes like this:
       F#                          
As you run from the places you love
    E
 I remember the faces that cry

            C                  
And they're pulling me back so I 
D         C
have to die

Comments, corrections, etc.

*king and caroline/alien lanes
this song is played on bass but it 
sounds fine on a six string
my notes on this one are far from 
perfect but they're good enough for 
me

first part: 4 times
