This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Song Name: Everyone Has Germs, EVen You
Band: If We Were Us
Website: www.cbc.ca/rockcamp
This band was the winner of the show "Rock Camp", and they got their single recorded and put
out on the EMI label. It's a great song so I decided to tab it out. I've seen it played live
(on the show) and I own the single show this is 100% correct.

Intro - guitar II (this is only played the second time the backing is played)
e|---------------------------------------8~--------------7~------------------| B|----9~---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--9---------------------------------9---------------7----------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
VERSE - guitar I (During second verse, the intro backing is played along with this)
"The passing countryside...."
This is repeated with the bass in the background, until the piano interlude.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------9-9b-----9-----9-9b------8-------10/12-------------------------------| G|----9------9-------9-----9-----9-------10/12-------------------------------| D|--9----------9---9---------9-----------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
END OF VERSE - Piano Interlude transcribed for guitar (an octave down)
e|--11-12-11----11-12-11-----x2-----12-13-12-----12-13-12----x2--------------| B|-----------12----------12------------------12-----------12-----------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After it repeats, the second part is played only once, then this is played.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---11-12-11-12-11-9--------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
CHORUS (each chord is played the said number of times in a row in progression)
"Everytime I see you I turn into a ghost"
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--9------12------11------10------------------------------------------------| D|--9-x16--12-x8---11-x4---10-x4---------------------------------------------| x2 A|--7------10------9-------8-------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bridge after second verse
"I've got your night life...."
Play this when it repeats: (mess around with strumming patterns)
e|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|--4-----5---|--4-----5----7-------------------------------------------------| D|--4-x16-5---|--4-x16-5-x8-7-x8----------------------------------------------| A|--2-----3---|--2-----3----5-------------------------------------------------| E|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Bridge #2 After 2nd chorus - Guitar 1 (I think this is played with delay, but I could
be wrong)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------12-14--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--12-14-------x8-----------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bridge #2 After 2nd chorus - Guitar 2
(During the 8th time the first guitar part is being played, guitar 2 schreeches
in with this bend on the fourteenth. The bend gradually gets bigger until the 5th
note when it just goes back.)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--14b-14b-14b-14b-14b------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then during the last chorus/outro type thing, this is played along with the other
bridge part, and the first chorus chord repeated over and over. I believe this
part uses gradual or auto-wah in it.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--14-12-14-12-14-12-14-12-14-12-14-12-14-12-14-12--------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And the end it just:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------12-14b-------------------------------------------------------------| D|--12-14--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
