Golden Touch

Tabbed by: Laurie
Email: rather not say really

Tuning: E A D G B e (standard)

OK, this is the way me and my band 
play it, and having checked playing 
along to the
it's about as correct as I can get!

These are the chords guitar one uses

 C#m A  B G#m G#m* E Emaj7/Eb A/F# B/G# 
e|-4--0--2--4---4---7----x------x-
B|-5--2--4--4---4---9----9------2-
G|-6--2--4--4---4---9----9------2-
D|-6--2--4--6---6---9----9------2-
A|-4--0--2--6---x---7----6------x-
E|------------------------------2-
  D
e|---x---5-| 
B|---4---7-| 
G|---4---7-| 
D|---4---7-| 
A|---x---5-| 
E|---4-----| 

The intro is just guitar one, and 
makes use of a reduced B chord, so 
I'll tab out these
bars, played by guitar one. The 
chords are played staccato and give 
a really cool intro!

Then you go into the verse, Guitar 2
 plays nothing, and using the chord 
shapes I wrote
the top, this is the structure

VERSE

A         G#m               C#m
I know a girl with a golden touch

A          G#m                 C#m
She's got enough she's got too much

E     Emaj7/Eb          C#m
But I know you would'nt mind

A                 G#m*
You could have it all if you wanted

A                 G#m*           
You could have it all if it 
      C#m
matters so much

(play C#m for the bridge between 
chorus and verse/verse and chorus 
etc. each time!)

CHORUS

C#m               B       A     
But then all they know is how to
         A/F#    B/G#
 put you down

Continúa después del anuncio
            C#m               
When you're there they're your 
 B           A                 
friend, but then when you're not 
   A/F#     B/G#
around

         C#m       B      A      
They say oh, she's changed, we 
             A/F#    B/G#
know what they mean

          C#m               
Well they mean, they're just 
 B                        A
jealous, because they'll never do 
the things

          A/F#                 
that they wish that they could 
B/G#  C#m
do so well

Ok, from now on guitar one can 
either play the same chords softly 
for verse 2 and the
(it changes a bit in verse 3), or 
you can play an octave for the root 
of each chord-sounds
but isn't! It sounds like that's 
what the band actually play.

Here are the octave chords if you 
don't know how to play them

 C#m A  B G#m E
e|---------------| 
B|-6-----4-----9-| 
G|-x-----x-----x-| 
D|-4--7--2--6--7-| 
A|----x-----x----| 
E|----5-----4----| 

When I play it I normally play a B 
octave instead of the G#m, it just 
sounds cooler! But
you use sounds fine. (play the 
normal E one for both E and 
Emaj7/Eb, and the normal A
B ones for A/F# and B/G#)

Now for the lead guitar. I'm not 
sure whether it's a guitar or 
synthesiser that plays
the first chorus, but with enough 
effects you can play it! So during 
chorus, one, guitar 2
this:

Guitar 2

CHORUS 1 (3 and 4 as well)
e|-----9----11----------------9-
B|---9---------12----12----10---
G|-9-----9--------11-----9------
D|------------------------------
A|------------------------------
E|------------------------------

e|----------------|     
B|10-----10----12-|     
G|----11----13----|  x4 
D|----------------|     
A|----------------|     
E|----------------|     

This is the same as for chorus 3 and
 4 except for one difference, when 
you play it the
time round in each case, you play 
this:
e|-----9----14----------------9-
B|---9---------12----12----10---
G|-9-----9--------11-----9------
D|------------------------------
A|------------------------------
E|------------------------------

e|----------------| 
B|10-----10----12-| 
G|----11----13----| 
D|----------------| 
A|----------------| 
E|----------------| 

(Bear in mind that after the third 
chorus is played, you just play the 
chorus
4)

Only a very slight difference on tab
 but all the difference when 
playing!

These choruses both finish on 
another version of C#m, which looks 
like this
e|-12-|  Or, if you prefer, this: 
B|-14-|                           
G|-13-|                           
D|----|                           
A|----|                           
E|----|                           

e| e|--9---| 
B| A|--9---| 
G| D|--9---| 
D| G|--11--| 
A| B|------| 
E| E|------| 

Ok, the lead guitar for verses 2 and
 3 looks like this
e|--------------------------| 
B|-----5---4-----4-5-(hold)-| 
G|---6-------4--------------| 
D|-7-----7-----6------------| 
A|--------------------------| 
E|--------------------------| 

e|--------------------------------
B|---------7-----5----------------
G|-----6-----------4-----(hold)---
D|---7---7---(4)-----(6)----------
A|-7------------------------------
E|--------------------------------

e|-----0--------0--------0--------
B|---9---9----9---9----9---9--7-5-
G|-9--------8--------6------------
D|--------------------------------
A|--------------------------------
E|--------------------------------

e|0----| 
B|--5--| 
G|-----| 
D|-----| 
A|-----| 
E|-----| 

e|-----------------------5--------
B|-----7--------9------7---7----9-
G|---6---6----8---8--6--------8---
D|-7--------9---------------------
A|--------------------------------
E|--------------------------------

e|7-----12----------9--------| 
B|--9-/-14--(hold)--9-(hold)-| 
G|------13-------------------| 
D|---------------------------| 
A|---------------------------| 
E|---------------------------| 

This part is played differently in 
the last verse, you do this instead

(VERSE 3) This is also where guitar 
one changes, and plays as follows:

   D        A        C#m          
e|-------------------------------
B|--7-----7--5-----5-------------
G|----7--------6------6-(hold)---
D|------7--------7---------------
A|-------------------------------
E|-------------------------------
  D      A        C#m
e|----------------------------------| 
B|7-----7--5-----5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| 
G|--7--------6------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| 
D|----7--------7----6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| 
A|----------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------| 

Ok, for the second chorus, you have 
to play this
e|--9------11------9------9---11--
B|--9------12------10-----10--12--
G|--9------11------9------11--13--
D|--------------------------------
A|--------------------------------
E|--------------------------------

e|--|----9-----11-----9------5--7---
B|--|----9-----12-----10-----7--9---
G|--|----9-----11-----9------6--8---
D|--|-------------------------------
A|--|-------------------------------
E|--|-------------------------------

e|--|    
B|--|    
G|--| x2 
D|--|    
A|--|    
E|--|    

Right, that's everything now but the
 end, and this is what you play. 
Guitar one just
after playing one final C#m after 
the last chorus, but guitar 2 plays 
this:

(play quietly, and slow down towards
 the end)
e|------9------11---14h12--12-
B|------10-----12----------14-
G|------9------11----------13-
D|----------------------------
A|----------------------------
E|----------------------------

e|----------9-----11-----12---------| 
B|(hold)----10----12-----14-(hold)--| 
G|----------9-----11-----13---------| 
D|----------------------------------| 
A|----------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------| 

e|------9------11---14--12--------
B|------10-----12-------14-(hold)-
G|------9------11-------13--------
D|--------------------------------
A|--------------------------------
E|--------------------------------

Then the weird violin end comes in, 
sorry no tab for that!

I hope this isn't too confusing to 
read, my only defence is that it's 
the first tab I've written!
