Song

CKy - "Lost in a Contraption"

From "Volume 1"

This is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure this is how you play

"Lost in a Contraption" (in standard EADGBE tuning, as well).

It sounds right, anyway, and includes some parts I found missing

in the other tab. The rythm can be found by listening to the song.

Guitar 1:

Intro:

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

7--8--7--------------7--8--7--8--11--10--8--7--8--10--11--10-----
---------8--9--8--9----------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

7--8--7--8--7----------------------------------------------------
---------------9--8--9-------------------------------------------

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

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

Guitar 2:

Verse:

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

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

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

---2-----2-----2-----2-------------------------------------------

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

0-----0-----0-----0----------------------------------------------

That's it. Repeat that 8 times, starting from the intro,

until straight after "suddenly the moments collide", which is when you do:

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

5--8--7--6--7--8--7--6--7--8-------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

Repeat 3x, and on the 4th time play this:

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

5--8--7--6--7--8--7--6--7--8--7--------------7--8--7-------------
---------------------------------8--9--8--9-----------9--8-------

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

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

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

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

---7--8--11--10--8--7--------------------------------------------
9----------------------9--8--9-----------------------------------

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

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

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

There's a bit more, but I can't make it out. During and

after you play this, the second guitar should be playing

the verse. Then at "I was dazed in my direction tonight":

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

10--10--10--10--8--7-----------3-----------3---------------------
----------------------2--2--4-----0--2--4------------------------

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

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

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

Repeat 2x

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

5--8--7--6--7--8--7--6--7--8-------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

Repeat 4x, then play the intro, while a second guitar

plays the verse, and then once again:

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

10--10--10--10--8--7-----------3-----------3---------------------
----------------------2--2--4-----0--2--4------------------------

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

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

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

Repeat 2x

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

5--8--7--6--7--8--7--6--7--8-------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

Repeat 4x

And then (with distortion):

------------------7--3--2--0-------------------------------------
0--3--2--------0--------------3----------------------------------
---------2-------------------------------------------------------
------------4----------------------------------------------------

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

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

Repeat 7x times

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

0--3--2--------0-------------------------------------------------
---------2-------------------------------------------------------
------------4----------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

10--10--10--10--8--7-----------3-----------3---------------------
----------------------2--2--4-----0--2--4-----------------------

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

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

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

Repeat 4x

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

5--8--7--6--7--8--7--6--7--8--5----------------------------------

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

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

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