"Nobody's Fault but Mine" by the 77's off the album Drowning with Land in Sight Tab by Jacob Hagedorn, jhagedor@gac.edu Notes: The album version of this song is in standard tuning in the key of E. When I saw Mike play it at Cornerstone, he appeared to be playing it in dropped D tuning to get a fuller sound without the benefit of a second guitarist. Tuning your low E string to D also makes the song much easier to play, with the one finger power chords. If you really want to play along with the album, put a capo on the second fret and follow my tab. I left the lyrics out of the tab, but you should still be able to follow along. Enjoy! Intro: gradual crescendo (distorted guitar w/chorus-like effect on, can be doubled up one octave by a second guitarist) E]-------------------------------*---------------------------*-------------------------------- B]-------------------------------*---------------------------*-------------------------------- G]---2/5--2--2/5--2--2/5--5/7----*---2/5--2--2/5--2--0--2----*---2/5--2--2/5--5/7---5--2--0--- D]---0-(drone open string)-------*----0----------------------*----0-----------------x--------3 A]-------------------------------*---------------------------*-------------------------------- D]-------------------------------*---------------------------*-------------------------------- E]*------------------------------------* B]*------------------------------------* Repeat G]*------------------------------------* 4 times, D]*---3--0-0-3-0-3-5--5/7--5--3--0-----* then chorus A]*---------------------------------0--* off and start D]*---------------------------------0--* Part A....
