A Better Pain (aka the best acoustic song EVER)

Capo 2nd fret

all chords relative to capo, except those indicated otherwise


this tab is pretty accurate, and its a difficult song to play...

 

chords:
Em:022000
G:320033
C:x32033  (sometimes he uses an open high e with this chord, user discretion is advised)
A:x02030
C2:x32000
D:x54000
crazy G2(for lack of a better name, not relative to capo):12, 11, 0, 0, 12, 12 
crazy G2 (also not relative):760077
 

verse (lots of palm muting and use of power chords in place of regular chords):

Em  G  C

intro fills are simply 0h2 or 0h3 hammer-ons on strings A D G and B E respectively
 

at the part where single notes are picked, pick out single notes from the Em and C chords

 

"Aren't you glad..."

Em  crazy G1  crazy G2  C 

"Welcome home..."

Em  C  A C* A


*do a 'walk down' of this c chord, play the normal chord first, then move the note on the A string to the 2nd fret.  You should hear what I'm talking about when you listen to the song.


Bridge:

C2  D  Em (3x)

Em  crazy G1  crazy G2  C

that should be it.

this song is confusing, and therefore the tab is a bit confusing too.  hopefully after listening to the song a few times, you can hear and understand what Im trying to say.  Good Luck
