Subject: TAB: Extreme - Our Father

Our Father - (Extreme III)

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

Solo not included.

The opening section is played with clean guitar and delay set at around

340 milliseconds. (half of what you hear on the record is just slapback

echoes).

There's a lot of slide guitar during the chorus which I've haven't bothered

with.

I've tried to keep the lyrics in time with the music. To keep from wasting

space where there's a lot of words but not much music happening, I put

the words in brackets. When the brackets end, the next word is in time

with the tablature above it.

As usual, the layout of this is a mess. I understand it but no-one

else probably will. Tough :-)

Key:

---

M above note = palm-mute

a.h = artificial harmonic

^ = hammer/pull

3(b)5 = bend 3rd fret to 5th

(this part is more complicated when then singing starts. It sounds

as though Nuno is playing the delayed part, so when it really gets

delayed, it sounds twice as complicated. What's below is close

enough
