The Ship Is Sinking

#

Started by HurricaneHolgi (Holgi) in Musicians (Gear, Tabs & Lyrics)

I transcipted this awesome song this morning and like to show it to u. I think it wasnt that difficult. And let me know what u are thinking about it.

BTW: I likely want to form or join a band in Hannover/Germany(If Therapy? wont let me join :D). I am playing gitarre and probably can sing.

So here the song:

This Ship is sinking

transcripted by Holger T. as [dynmx]EvilElvis
Words and Music by Therapy?

>(probably played in drop D, not necessary but sounds more ruff)

>Starts with bassline

D|-3333…—-

>this is the main bass riff played most time in the song

D|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-6-6-4-4-8-8-6-4-|

>git. riff a)

d|-3—-6-6———————|-6-5-3—-66—-6-5-|

d|-6—8-8————— 6-5-|-3—-6-6—————|

>just the bass riff

This ship is sinking
And I’m gonna go with it
Straight to the bottom
I’ll push it back up

This ship is sinking
And it’s taking me with it
Straight to the bottom
Where we belong

>During the Refrain still the bass riff

>git.riff b) in the same rhythem as the bass riff so here are just the chords

g|—-|—-|—-|—-|—-|—-|
d|-3-|-6-|-5-|-8-|-6-|-5-|
a|-3-|-6-|-5-|-8-|-6-|-5-|
D|-3-|-6-|-5-|-8-|-6-|-5-|

This ship is sinking
This ship is sinking
This ship is sinking
Sinking

>just the bass riff

My heart is broken
And you did it
It took you five minutes
And I died in an instant

And now
I’m going straight to hell
With a shipwrecked mind
And keelhauled as well
Yeah!

>just bass + git.riff b

This ship is sinking
This ship is sinking
This ship is sinking
Sinking

>Kind of Bridge

>bass an guitar play the same notes/chords

g|-6-|-3-|-8-|-5-|—-|
d|-6-|-3-|-8-|-5-|-3-|
a|-4-|-1-|-6-|-3-|-3-|
D|—-|—-|—-|—-|-3-|

>bass riff
>git. let the F chord ring

The ocean’s wide
And you dropped me in it
Now I need a bottle of wine to get me through this
And now
I’m going straight to hell
I’ll probably see you there

Now

g|-10|-13|-12|-15|-13|-12|
d|-x-|-x-|-x-|-x-|-x-|-x-| <—play this 2 times
a|-8-|-11|-10|-13|-11|-10|
D|-x-|-x-|-x-|-x-|-x-|-x-|

>git.riff b) during the refrain

This ship is sinking
This ship is sinking
This ship is sinking
Sinking

>outro

>the same as the bridge

g|-6-|-3-|-8-|-5-|—-|
d|-6-|-3-|-8-|-5-|-3-| <— play this a few times
a|-4-|-1-|-6-|-3-|-3-|
D|—-|—-|—-|—-|-3-|

>and a few more times just with out the F-chord

>last tones played by git.

g|——-3—-3—|——-3—-3—-|——-3—-3—|———-
d|-3-3—-3—-3|-3-3—-3—-3-|-3-3—-3—-3|-3——-

SO have fun with it ;)

Cheers

E.

hey man good tab, everything you have tabbed out is correct however the whole of NANE is tabbed in drop c so basically tune down to CGCFAD and play everything two frets higher

are you sure, I thought it was tuned to C (as opposed to drop C)? That’s what was used for most of HA.

ok *shrugs* Well for the story behind Save the Sermon, he says he played the riff on his guitar tuned to C. But you may be right. (HA is definitely tuned to C, though). It doesn’t much matter as long as the tab works really, eh? ;)

But of course. Oh, and in case any of you were wondering, as soon as I buy a little practice amp to keep in my room here I’ll get cracking on the guitar tabs for the new album. I had to leave my Marshall at my parents’ :( I’ll buy a small one to keep here and get a bigger one after I form a band :)

Can’t write a song on a bass. Tried it and it’s just a bit… lame :p

:p So you write lame songs, that’s nothing to be ashamed of… (heheheh) :p

It’s for the best that you stay away from the bass: You don’t have the _soul_ of a bassist, *pounds chest dramatically* besides, it would be unbecoming, and against my better nature, to be jealous of you or anything you have :p

1. My songs are not lame, they raaaaaaaaaawk!

2. I’m probably going to sell my old bass and LP 100 to get cash for a good bass.

3. Unbecoming to be jealous of anything I have? Bitch, you’re jealous of EVERYTHING I HAVE :p :rolleyes:

4. Soul of a bassist? Most bassists I know turn up at rehearsal, take their tops off at random moments (which is not cool unless you’re Melissa Auf Der Maur), play the root notes of the chords in songs written by the guitarist (!) and smoke too much.

1. They rock like a lame man in a rocking chair maybe.

2. Not a bad idea, if you can stand to part with some things that have such sentimental value to you. Like… remember that song you wrote? the really lame one? I mean the _really_ lame one? :p (No, I don’t know what I’m talking about either ;))

3. No. I feel _sorry_ for everything you have…

4. Nah… I don’t smoke :D:D

1. Leave my dad out of this :mad:

2. When I get a huge publishing royalty cheque for my songs I’ll send you a copy along with an application form to work for me as a toilet cleaner :)

3. Yeah, I’m only younger, better-looking, richer and with a better future… I’d feel sorry for me too :p

Edit: I think I took that too far. Sorry mate. Anyway, let’s get this thread back on track.

;) No, no too far, but agreed that this thread should be returned to it’s rightful owners. We don’t want to turn into the new spin off series from that cult classic: ‘allroy and co’ ;):p

p.s. toilet cleaner? gee, I’m not sure I’m ready for a promotion just yet :)
