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

Grimace - Time-Lapse Consortium

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

Tabbed by: Rowlhion (Hector Vazquez)

E-mail: Hevarui91@gmail.com

Tuning:EADGBe

First of all, there are a String, Brass, Keyboard and Percussion Ensembles that start the song.

The first chord that i hear is:

(For the rythm, you should hear when Mike plays it. But still he does this chord to make a "mysterious" vibe,

so you can feel when to do it with your ensemble)

Em9b5

e|------14----------------|
B|-----11-----------------|
G|----12------------------|  (Do it arpeggiated)
D|---14-------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|

Then the full ensemble comes with: And finish the phrase with a very nice chord:

Ebm(Maj)7

e|------------------------7--------------|  e|--6--|
B|-------------------8-10----------------|  B|--7--|
G|--9-9-9-9----7-7-9---------------------|  G|--7--|
D|--------------9-----------9-9-9--------|  D|--8--|
A|---------------------------------------|  A|-----|
E|---------------------------------------|  E|-----|

Then proceed to the main theme with a very dirty/funky strumming:

This is an E7 (with a chromatic Eb7): At the end of the phrase release with:

E7 Eb7 E7

e|---------------------------------|         e|------X--7-X--------|
B|----------xxx--------------------|         B|------X----X---6h7--|
G|---7--7---xxx--6----7--7---------|   X2    G|--6h7-X----X--------|
D|---6--6---xxx--5----6--6---------|         D|------X----X--------|
A|----------xxx--------------------|         A|--------------------|
E|---------------------------------|         E|--------------------|

The ensemble finishes with: Then, WHAM!

Ebm(Maj)7

e|------------------------6------|-------------------------------------------|  e|-6-|
B|------------------8-10---10-8--|-10-8---8----------------------------------|  B|-7-|
G|-9-9-9-9---7--7-9------------9-|------9---9-7h9p7s6h7---6------------------|  G|-7-|

A|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|  A|---|
E|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|  E|---|

Then the Guitar Solo comes in, which i owe you this one guys, i'm sorry.

When i get it i will post it, i promise.

He improvises in E Mixolydian if that helps...

************************************************************************************************************

The song is conducted by this progression, increasing the tension and using the intro to release it:

D A C F Em* Gm C# F# Leave the F# some time and... Em9b5

e|-----|-----|-----|-----|--0--|--3--|--4--|--2--||-------9-8-6---------------||---14---|
B|--7--|--5--|--5--|--1--|--0--|--3--|--6--|--2--||-------------10-8-7--------||---11---|
G|--7--|--6--|--5--|--2--|--0--|--3--|--6--|--3--||--------------------9-8-6--||---12---| *You should strum the

A|--5--|--7--|--3--|--3--|--2--|--5--|--4--|--4--||---------------------------||--------|
E|-----|--5--|-----|--1--|--0--|--3--|-----|--2--||---------------------------||--------|

Proceed to this "mystical" part:

e|--------------------------14---|----11---------12------------------17t------|
B|--------15----14---------------|---------14---------------------------------|
G|---------------------11--------|---------------------12------15-------------|
D|---12--------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|

Repeat the main riff and the full ensemble phrases and there you go.

NOTE: This is more like an opinion, it is not the 100% correct TAB, this is how i play it and it works for me.

i'll thank you if you leave your correction/comment/complain on the comment box or feel free to e-mail me.

I just like this song very much and i though that it deserved a transcription.

So i'm sorry if i disappoint you or YAY! if i helped you :D.

Yes, i'm mexican (Hi, D. Trump) Have a nice day, Cheers!
