BRIDGE — Key change here — play the following chord progression as Daryl freestyles and T—Bone shows off...
D Dm7 D Dm7 D Dm7
CHORUS 3 — The band sings the third chorus a cappela, clapping out the beat — there's a
short break right before "FINAL CHORUS" (after the band sings their last "you're out of
touch" in "CHORUS 3"), where they strum out . . .
E E E E . . . about 12 times
and then . . .
FINAL CHORUS
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G6 Fmaj7 E
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G Amin G
But I'm out of my head when you're not around . . .
Repeat this progression over and over again as Daryl freestyles, and when the song
finally comes to and end, bang out an "Amin" as the closing chord.
NOTE: If some of this tablature seems unclear (i.e. the rhythm, the timing, the
transitions, the ending, etc.), just listen to the song — it should be pretty self—explanatory.
Also, feel free to replace "Amin(add11)/D" with a basic "Dm" if it sounds better.
This tab should also work fairly well with the studio recording.
