TAB FOR DIGITS BY The HEADSTONES

FROM THE ALBUM: SMILE AND WAVE

TRANSCRIBED BY MATTHEW HANSEN

This is a cool song from an awsome album. This tab

is far from perfect but it's a start.

Intro Riff:

E-------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------|
G---6---------------4---6-6---------------4-|
D---6---2---4---6---2---6-6---2---4---6---4-|
A---4---2---4---6---2---4-4---2---4---6---2-|
E-------0---2---4-------------0---2---4-----|

For the verse play the C#m chord below with randow string scrapes

this is probably wrong, but I couldn't find anything better.

Half way Through you hit an A5 chord

C#m scrapes A5

-4----x----------|
-5----x----------|
-6----x-------2--|
-6----x-------2--|
-4----x-------0--|
------x----------|

Pre chorus(no two snowflakes are alike...)

You play A5 about 8 times, G5 4 and D5 like 10 or something(fast)

A5 G5 D5

e-------------------|
B-------------------|
G-----2---------7---|
D-----2----5----7---|
A-----0----5----5---|
E----------3--------|

chorus(?) riff:

E----------------------------|

B----------------------------| h - hammer on

G-------------------------4--|
D--------------------4h6-----|
A-----4--4--2--4--4----------|
E--0-------------------------|

Lyrics:

INTRO 2X

shame on you shame on you

VERSE 1:

C#m

She's got the numbers man

I got the digits

Everybody knows there own

Pulses Quickened

A5

Don't know the essence well they've

Gone and made a mess

C#m

Jimmy wanted pistols but he

Shot em when he got em

Pre-Chorus:

A5

No 2 snow flakes are alike

G5 D5

And niether are the seconds

CHORUS 4X(no lyrics)

VERSE 2:

C#m

Be happy when we're in public

Don't know how we ever got by

I've got it now I'm damaged

I'm a discontinued line

A5

Too busy gettin sick to close

Anybody can see the flaws

C#m

Billy wanted depth

Maybe shoulda checked his pockets

PRE CHORUS

CHORUS:

yeah

SOLO/BRIDGE(haven't figured it out yet)

VERSE 3:

same as first verse, except instead of playing

the C#m chord, play the intro instead.

PRECHORUS

CHORUS:

yeah

Outro:

play the chorus riff, just a little faster

That's about it. If anyone has the more

correct/complete version, or any other cool tabs

(especially Headstones), post em.
