Song

You Complete Me

Music: Stabbing Westward

Lyrics: Stabbing Westward

Tuning: Dropped-D, down one full step (low to high: C G C F A D)

The song starts with some weird synthesized percussion noises and then this part begins.

(a) Intro: play once

(i) play once

|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-12-13-12-10-|
|-12-13-12-10-|
|-12-13-12-10-|

(ii) play four times, let last note ring fourth time

|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-0---12--0-0-|
|-0---12--0-0-|
|-0---12--0-0-|

^let ring

(b) Chorus - play (i) twice, then (ii) once, then back to (i) once more.

(i)

|-3h5-5-5-5--0-3-5-0-5-0-3-3-|
|-3h5-5-5-5--0-3-5-0-5-0-3-3-|

That's about all that's to that song too. If you have any questions about the placing of riffs, please

me and I'll be happy to help. As with most Stabbing Westward songs, and this one especially, improv guitar

and feedback does wonders.

You Complete Me by Stabbing Westward

Tabbed by: Corey Quilliam

Tuning (C-G-C-F-A-D)

x=mute

b=bend

r=release on bend

==========

Harmonic parts are played throughout here, and a phase pedal

is used.

--0--12--x-x--x-12--0--12--x-x--x-12h13-12p10-0|

Then that repeats twice or so. Phaser runs in background.

Every once in awhile harmoics come in for a very short

period. You should be able to figure out the notes they

should be at. I'm nowhere near my amp so I'm not telling you

now.

E-bow would work best here if you do it on guitar. These

notes hold for awhile. This is during the verse.

Chorus (I think.)

|------------------------------12-12----------------------12-12-|

|--(harm)--12p10h12--10h12--10-10-10--12p10h12--10h12--10-10-10-|

|--(harm)--12p10h12--10h12--10--------12p10h12--10h12--10-------|

--4h5-5-4-5-4h5-4h5-3-3--12p10h12--10h12--10-12br-12p10-0|
--4h5-5-4-5-4h5-4h5-3-3--12p10h12--10h12--10-12br-12p10-0|

It does that twice except for that last part with the bend

which only comes in when the chorus is over. The harmonics in

the beginning of the chorus only occur in the beggining, I'm

sure of it.

Chorus (last time the chorus extends, the part that's 3/4's

of the way in the chorus keeps repeating and ends on that 5th

fret.)
