Third Eye Blind

tabbed by: Kevin Brosky (3EBdude)

I was doing some figuring out with this one because I wanted to learn it so badly

and nobody has anything for it. I just recently saw Third Eye Blind and was

pretty close to them. I watched Tony and it helped me figure some things out for

the song when I got home. So this is what I have for it.

The tuning is EADGBD and that is for sure because Tony Fredianelli said so on his

site. It's almost standard except the high E gets tuned down a whole step

(although you could probably play it in standard and it wouldn't sound too much different).

Intro:

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------(5)---------------
|----(5)-----(5)-----------(5)-----(5)---(5)---------------------(5)---(5)-
|--------------------(5)-------------------(5)-----------------------------
|--x-----5-5-----5-5-----5-----5-5-----5-------5-5--3-3------3-3-----3-----

-----------------------| repeat

-----------------------|
---------(7)-----------|
-----------------(7)---|
--3/5-5------5-5-----5-|
-----------------------|

The hardest thing to get the hang of is that you almost have to be playing two

parts at once, combined into one part. The way I do it is my first finger plays

all the single notes and my second and third fingers do all the harmonics. That

pattern continues for the verses.

Interlude:

|--------------------------------------------|
|--------5-7b---3-5-7---------5-7b---3-5-7---|
|--6b-6b------4-------0-6b-6b------4---------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|

These bends are half bends

Chorus:

A G D

|------0-0-----------0-0------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-| repeat
|------3-2-----------3-2------------3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-|
|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2-|
|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-|
|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2-2------------|
|-------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3------------|

Then there is that distorted bridge thing and that goes like this:

|------0-0------------------0-0----------------------| repeat
|------x-x------------------x-x----------------------|
|------2-2-0-2--0-0-0--4-4--2-2-0-2--0-0-0--7-7-4-4--|
|------2-2-0-2--0-2-0--4-4--2-2-0-2--0-2-0--7-7-4-4--|
|-12/--0-0-0-0--0-2-0--2-2--0-0-0-0--0-2-0--5-5-2-2--|
|----------------------------------------------------|

So that is the basis of the song from what I have gathered. There are maybe some

other little fills at certain parts but this is the main gist of it all. It should

be pretty accurate. I hope this helps and maybe some other people will have more

on this song eventually. Enjoy!
