Song: Innocent Smile
Band: Ash
Album: 1977 (released in 1996)
Written by Mark Hamilton
Transcribed by Luke Knox (lukeknox@iname.com)
This is a truly great song, and the only one on the album written by
Ash's great bass player, Mark Hamilton. It's a cool song to play, and
not too hard, either.
Verse:
E----------
B----------
G----------
D--2----4-- A--2----4-- E--0----2--
Chorus:
E-------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------
G---------9------5----------5-----9--------- D---5-----9------5---5------5-----9-----4--- A---5-----7------3---5------3-----7-----4--- E---3----------------3------------------2---
G5 E5ii C5 G5 C5 E5ii F#5
Bridge: (1:33 into the song)
E--------------------------
B--------------------------
G---------7-----5---------- D---5-----7-----5-----2---- A---5-----5-----3-----2---- E---3-----------------0----
Then play E5 - C5 during the "hanging from the sky" part.
This riff is played at the end of the E5-C5 progression:
E-12-12-12-12--
B--------------
G--------------
Then there's this octave solo:
E--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------
D-2-2-2-0-2---3-3-3--[Repeat, then:]--------------- A-------------------------------------12s11-///-0-- E-0-0-0-0-0---1-1-1--------------------------------
This is played 2x:
E--9-9-9-9--11-11-11-11-
B-----------------------
G-----------------------
Then:
E-12-12-12-12--14-14-14-14-16-16-16-9-9-9-9-
B-------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------
Repeat this, and go to the 17th fret the second time.
The next part of the song is just C#5 - F#5,
then it goes to E5 - F#5 at the end when the 1st verse is
repeated.
Lyrics: (my version! These are not easy to decipher)
Verse
She comes out of town as the sun comes down,
Fly with your friends with the stars alive. (2x)
Running on a high from the spirit inside,
Taking on the world with an innocent smile. (2x)
Chorus
Something knocked me down and I fell right to the
ground. I lost it all in one life, just wandering around.
Verse
Vandalism's fun when there's nothing to do,
Breaking through a wall, say it wasn't you. (2x)
Big daddy rocket take you for a ride,
shining to a rocket headed for the sky.(2x)
Bridge
That's when I got this shield up, re-awoke my mind.
Swinging from a chandelier, hanging from the sky.
You turned me all around, only took your smile,
Swinging from a chandelier, hanging from the sky.
Hanging from the sky.
End
Running on a high with the spirit inside,
taking on the world with an innocent smile. (4x)
That's it! I know it's probably not perfect, but let me know if you have
any changes, comments, suggestions, etc.
I hope you enjoy the tab, and I could use some help with these lyrics!
