Night on the Sun

tab. by damonk


tuning:  e g# e g# b e (low to high)
issac plays this song on his danelectro

intro:
the intro riff is pretty easy (not as easy as the verse) but it is a
little tricky at first.

e  ------------------------------||------------------------------------
b  ------------------------------||------------------------------------
g# ------------------------------||------------------------------------
e  ------------------------------||------------------------------------
g# --------2^0---5^6-5\3-2^3--0--||--5-7-8-7\5-5\3-3-3--3-0------------
e  --0--4------------------------||--0-0-0-0---0---0-0--0--------------
       repeat this three times       then play this

verse:
the verse is just two sets of harmonics been played in the whole notes.

e  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
b  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
g# ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
e  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
g# ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
e  ----12---------------------------7----------------------------------
       *harmonics                   *harmonics

make sure to hit all the notes in a quick downstroke, and not rake it,
to get it so sound right.

after like two repetitions of that, start strumming the harmonics to
the rhythm of the song.

solo:
a standard wicked ass issac solo.

e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
b  --3-----3--3-5-----||-----7-7-7-7-7^8-7\5-5\3-----------------------
g# ----4-2------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
     play this twice       then play this twice

e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
b  --3-5-7-8-7-5-3----||-----10-----8-7-8-7-3---10-8-7-7^8-7-5-3-------
g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
g# -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
e  -------------------||-----------------------------------------------
     play this twice       then play this once


the last part:
issac is saying stuff like "if there's one thing i know about this town..."


and he plays stuff like this:

e  --------------------------------------------------------------------
b  ------7-4-----------------------------------------------------------
g# ----------5-3-2-0-2-------------------------------------------------
e  --4^7---------------------------------------------------------------
g# --------------------------------------------------------------------
e  --------------------------------------------------------------------

he does do variations of this theme, but i think its unessecary to
tab these out.  if yer band covers this song, this part should be yours.

the end.
