"Unsheathed" by +Live+

from the album Secret Samadhi

Tab by Andy Adelewitz (ada108@psu.edu)

Really simple, actually. I tabbed it in standard tuning because

I'm too lazy to tune down a half step every time I wanna play a Live

song. If you're tuned down a half step, simply add 1 to every number

and you're all good.

The intro/verse riff is like this:

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

B-|----1/4-step bend------1/4-step bend----------------------------|

G-|---/---\--------------/---\-------------------------------------|
D-|-8/-----\--6-------8/-------\---6----8---5b6r5b6---5------------|b6r5h6r etc.....
A-|--------------6-------------------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------------------------|

A second guitar strums down a G# (466544) here and there.

At the end of the first verse, the heavy part comes in.

Bsus2 G#5

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

After the third verse and staccato Bsus2's, it goes into the

"Free love..." part. Play G#m - Am7 x3 then B5.

G#m Am7 B5

E-|-4------5---------------|
B-|-4------5---------------|
G-|-4------5-----------4---|
D-|-6------5------9-or-4---|
A-|-6------7------9----2---|
E-|-4------5------7--------|

That's it. That's all there is to it. I may be wrong on the G#m - Am7

progression, but that's as close as I could get. They may be using

partial barre chords (577600), a trick they appear to have picked up

on this album (like the F#7add4 in the Century verses). See if it

sounds good to you this way.
