Nocturnal

Tiger Army
Tab

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

Song

First off, if like to say that Tiger Army is one of the best

Psychobilly bands of all time.

With that said...lets get down to business...

This is a guitar tab for "Nocturnal" by Tiger Army...

the other one is somewhat right, but didnt have the correct outro and the

chord progressions might be a bit easier on this one...

Also, the solo on the other one was correct, its just that i find this

version a bit easier in my opinion, but then again, its up to you...

i didnt put in the number of times you strum each chord, but its not hard

to figure out...enjoy :) im pretty sure this is all 100% correct

(t) = let ring with a bit, or a lot of tremelo,

but in some cases, a slight bend will do just fine

\=slide down

/ = slide up

h = hammer on

p = pull off

(x)= scratch on that note/chord

Note- Play the second verse with lots of tremelo...some of the

powerchords are picked by individual notes in the chord,

some are just strummed once instead of repetitively...

if you dont understant what i mean, just listen to the song

Yet another note- For all of the "effects" (bends, tremelos,

scratches, slides, etc.) listen to the song to get their exact timing and sound

once again I'll remind you...I DIDNT PUT THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU

STRUM EACH CHORD with the exception of the outro...however..

The strumming pattern isnt hard to figure out,

its just like many other Tiger Army songs...

Nick 13 plays most of the parts with a "galloping" kind of rythm

that it some places fits the rythm of the stand up bass...

INTRO:

play three times, and on the 4th, slide up to the C# (in the parenthesis)
