Der Bluten Kat Umphrey's McGee Tab by Eric Sievers (eric_j_sievers@yahoo.com) Intro (riff 1) 5/4 time for 1 bar then 4/4 for 1 bar *1/4 step *triplet 1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + - 5 - + - 1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + - E|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------|--------3-------3---------------| G|---------------------------------------|--------2-------0---------------| D|---------------------------------------|--------0-------0---------------| A|------3b------------5-3-0-232---020----|----------------2---------------| E|3-5-------5-3---3-5-----------------3--|2---------------3---------------| | | | E|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------|----0---2p0---------2p0-3p0-----| E|---------------------------------------|2-----2-----2---3-----------3---| *use 1/4 bends on the pull offs, even pinch harmonics Play this with the verses 4/4 time...

(I know) Cause I know another way to turn if you go around and look (turn) back. (and I know) Another way to think if you open up your eyes (and I know) Cause I know the way you're brought up and the way you're (the way you think to) supposed to think. (and I know) Cause I know to look before jump and jump before you look. Then this in between verses 4/4 time (riff 3) 2nd time add the harmony, same riff starting up on D instead of G * hit a pinch harmonic here, if you dare! 1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + - 1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + - E|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|------5---------5-454--4--------|------5---------4b5r4b5r4-------| A|--4---------4--------5---454----|--4---------4-------------------| E|3---------3------------------5--|3---------3---------------------| E|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|-------5---------5-454--4-------|------5---------4---------------| A|---4---------4--------5---454---|--4---------4-------------------| E|-3---------3------------------5-|3---------3---------------------| When going back into the verse, skip the last half of the second measure and transition with a F# > G > A. Go back to riff 2 with more verses... (I know) Cause I know another way to breathe if you open up (another way to dream?) your eyes wide. (and I know) Cause I know to take a deep breath and take (take a deep breath) it real clear. (and I know) Cause I know another way to believe when (another way to believe) everything opens up. (and I know) Cause I know to think before you speak and think before you act. When playing riff 3 here, the second time the harmony is the same riff starting on B instead of G... (I know) Another way to blink when everything (everything to breathe) goes wrong. (and I know) Cause I know when life's too short (life's to short) and not so long/hard(?). (and I know) Cause I know the way your brought up and what (what you believe in) you believe in. (and I know) Cause I know to look before you jump and jump before you look. Here, you play riff 3 over and over, usually playing the full 8 beats but sometimes skipping 1 beat and playing it in 7. The drums stay 4/4. The guitar pattern is like this... 8888 8887 8887 8887 8887 8887 (#'s of beats) Then this...

E------------------------ B------------------------ G------------------------ D-----7------676---898--- A---6-----6------7-----9- E-5-----5---------------- This part has a triplet feel the first four beats, then ends with a 4/4 feel, Then the second measure is the same way but the end is 1 half beat shorter 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + 2 + 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + 2 E|--------------------------------|------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|------------------------------| D|------7-----------9---------1113|------7-----------9---------11| A|----6-----6-----8-----8---10----|----6-----------8---------10--| E|5-----------7-----------9-------|5-----------7-----------9-----| 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + 2 + 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + 2 E|--------------------------------|------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|------------------------------| D|------7-----------9---------1113|------7-----------9---------11| A|----6-----6-----8-----8---10----|----6-----------8---------10--| E|5-----------7-----------9-------|5-----------7-----------9-----| Here play this, at the same time the other guitar hits the tritones as a chord using a wah to add some evils stabs at the end of each measure... 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + E|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| G|----------------------------6-------8---|----------------------------6-------8---| D|------7-----------9-------5---5---7---7-|------7-----------9-------5---5---7---7-| A|----6-----6-----8-------4-------6-------|----6-----------8-------4-------6-------| E|5-----------7---------------------------|5----------7----------------------------| Then finish this part like this... 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 1 2 3!

F#m > D > C# > D > C# > D > C#>D>C#>D>C#>D>C# Play the whole classical part again, this time an octave up, then more jamming in F#m This is usually the most open ended part of the jam, but when you finally come back, play F#m > G# > A > B > (emphasize the upbeat of the 1 and 3) Into this 4 times (riff 5)...

Here you do a little stop/start part, play this riff twice, with a pause after each one...
