Well he just drove off sometimes life's OK. I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say? Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK. And we'll all float on, OK. (3x) And we'll all float on, anyway, well... A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam. It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand. Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands. Good news will work its way to all them plans. We both got fired on the same day, that we were gonna quit it anyways. And we'll all float on, OK. (3x) And we'll all float on... Alright, already we'll all float on. No, dont you worry, we'll all float on. Alright, don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy we'll all float on. Alright, already we'll all float on... Etc. etc. etc. +----------------------------+ | | | Tabbed by Will Murdoch | | will_m_@hotmail.com | | | +----------------------------+ ********************************************** Artist: Modest Mouse Title: Float On Album: "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" Transcribed by Colby Hanks, chanks@optusnet.com.au Chords: - Like a lot of Modest Mouse songs, the chords for this song are the same throughout. In the verse you strum, in the chorus you pick the notes of the chord out... simple as that. This song is palyed with a Capo at the 6th fret, but if you don't have a capo, I have written out the chords in a different position with very similar voicing. So here it is: {Rhythm Guitar} -no Capo- F# A#min/E# Bmaj7 A#min E----------|----------|----------|----------|| B---11-----|---11-----|---11-----|---11-----|| G---11-----|---10-----|---11-----|---10-----|| D---11-----|---11-----|---9------|---8------|| A----------|----------|----------|----------|| E----------|----------|----------|----------|| {Rhythm Guitar} -Capo @ 6th fret- F# A#min/E# Bmaj7 A#min E---0------|--0-------|--0------|--0---------|| B---1------|--0-------|--1------|--0---------|| G---0------|--0-------|--2------|--0---------|| D---2------|--2-------|--3------|--2---------|| A---3------|--2-------|--3------|--2---------|| E----------|----------|---------|--0---------|| If you play with the capo, you can get the little hammer-ons on chords 1 and 3. Simply hammer on your 1st finger from 0 to 1 on these two chords, on the 1st strum. {Lead Guitar} -no capo needed- F# A#min/E# Bmaj7 A#min F# ...etc. E----6-9-6---6-6-6-6--|----6-9-6---6-6-6-6--|----6-9-6---6-6-6-6--|--6-6-6-6--6-6------|---------------|| B--7-------9----------|--6-------9----------|--7-------9----------|---------------9-7--|--7------------|| G---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------|| D---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------|| A---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------|| E---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------|| {Bass Guitar} Verse G-----------------|----------------|----------------|--------------|| D-----------------|----------------|----------------|--------------|| A--9--9--9--9-11--|--8--8--8--8-6--|----------------|--------------|| E-----------------|----------------|--7--7--7--7-9--|--6--6--6--6--|| Chorus G-----------------|----------------|----------------|--------------|| D-----------------|----------------|----------------|--------------|| A--9--------------|--8-------------|----------------|--------------|| E-----------------|----------------|--7-------------|--6-----------||
