This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

A Decade Under The Influence - Taking Back Sunday

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

Tabbed by: TBSFan2758

Email: jchau@mybluelight.com

Tuning: Guitars 1&2 Drop D, from low to high (DADGBE)

Gtr.1: Eddie Reyes

Gtr.2: Fred Mascherino

Ok, so this is the easiest way to play this song, email me if yooh want the exact tabs.

I'll update a lot of the tabs, but this is no difference then the real way to play the

song, the differences are the time signatures.

This is the CORRECT way to play this song. the only part with the delay is the only part

I'm not sure of, other than that its EXACT.

UPDATE: I put the lyric's on so you might uderstand it and because of request.

Updated: 6-26-05

Ok, here is the exact part for the digi delay part of the song,(Fred Mascherino). Look

at that certain part of the tab to see the corrected an exact way. By the way i saw them

in concert a while ago. Fred palys that part without the delay unit. So instead of him

hitting it once and it repaets, he hits it over and over till he changes his finger

position, BUT he still uses the modulation effect(same thing as a wah pedal) so that it

wahs with it. Does this make sense? If not email me and i will explain it a little more

elaborate. Hope this helps.

Update: 9-18-05

My computer has been completely wiped out of my EXACT tan for this song, so every1 that

has been emailing me, i am terribly sorry, but there really isnt much of a difference.

Just that instead of playing the chorus like this:

play it like this:

you play this for the first chorus's except for the outro, I will elaborate this more whne

i find time. Sorry for the this, i know many users have emailed me on this and i will send

them to all of yall as soon as i type it out again.

When playing the interlude, arpeggiate the chords by raking the pick across the strings

from high to low. There is also a bass part in this interlude, if you know it, e-mail me,

because I don't have a clue how to play it.

Verse 1

Sad, small, sweet, so delicate

We used to be this dying breed

I got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home

You slept safe and close to the window...

I got a bad feeling about this

I got a bad feeling about...

Chorus

Who's to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)

Well say you'll have to go (I could go all...)

To hell with you and all your friends

To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Verse 2

Sad, small, sure in porcelain

You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck

I got a bad feeling about this (when it comes to this)

I got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home

You slept safe and close to the window

I got a bad feeling about this

I got a bad feeling about...

Chorus to the breakdown:

Who's to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)

Well say you'll have to go (I could go all...)

To hell with you and all your friends

To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

I got a bad feeling about this (what is this for?)

I got a bad feeling about...

(Breakdown Starts)

Breakdown:

Anyone will do tonight

Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Anyone will do tonight

Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Anyone (anyone) will do tonight

Close your eyes, just settle, settle
