"(note the low E being tuned down a step)"

wouldn't that be the high E? No, I'm probably wrong.. Regardless what you call what, very good job, Jason!! ;D

Thanks! It actually is the high E, yet the first string, so that part is backwards; I just forgot which E was what. Anyway, any more parts of the song I should tab, or any parts I should flesh out? I know there's a pretty heavily strummed bit after "come back here!..." but I figured it was similar enough to the arpeggiated part; I don't know, though.

Can someone tab out Took You Two Years To Win My Heart? For guitar or ukulele? lol I could probably do it myself but I am lazy/it will take me forever.

I plan on tabbing it out, but these are the chords from the top of my head: Intro: Bm, then Verse: Bm A G F#m F#m Bm A Em Em, iffy on the last half, but I think it works.

I don't think this one has been tabbed already, so I hope this makes someone happy...



For the guitar players, here are the chords:

E add 9 / B: 024100

E: 022100

E / D#: 021100

Em / D: 010000

C / D: x30010

D sus4 / A: x00033

G / B: x20033

F / A: 533535

G sus4: 330033

G: 320033

F: 133211

Em: 022000

Em add9: 024000


And, if you want to keep it simple, you can also play it like this:
E_____________________________________Em_C___
Hey, Dad, I've been floating down the river

____________________G____F___
To the place you retired to

___________________________G____F________Em___
Away from the women who despise you

I think every tab you post makes me ecstatic.

EDIT: Upon playing, this sounds wonderful!

Tabbed?! why sir, I believe you can start using the term 'Notated' Now!
-I just got an 88 keyed MIDI controlled and am getting chipsound hooked up now! Happy is an understatement! Thank you kindly.

I would loveeeeeeee for someone to put up chords and/or tabs for The Butcher! Even if they're not 100% accurate, I'll still be a joyous boy.

I don't know how accurate it is, but it works for me.
Capo 2:
|Bm|D|G Gmaj7|D/F# D/E|

I think it's more like:

E F# B/D# G#m7

E F# B/D# G#m7

E F# B Badd9 <- This is how Owen plays it live with the crazy keyboard riff.

Emaj7 F#7 G#m7 Badd9 <- Came up with this listening the Christmas EP, some bossa-nova influences, though not likely to be an exact transposition.

As to what you propose, I've seen someone play with a similar set of chords, on youtube I think, and it kind of works but it really bugs me that the verse ends on a minor, I'm pretty sure there's no version in which Owen does that. Still, I might be wrong.

You're correct in saying the keyboard does play B major through, but the low D# and G# are definitely there - they're written in the cello and bass parts of the score Owen posted. You can also hear this on the album (listen to the low strings at 2:40).

Of course Bmaj and G#m have the same harmonic function and will work interchangeably. I'm accustomed to hearing it my way, though, so there's a little bias attached.

Yes, I suppose our way of playing does influence our opinions, I'm surely guilty of that as well. Also, I know nothing of music theory, so you at least have that as a credible support^^

Anyway, I just play these songs for fun and try to give those who are too lazy (as I am most of the times) to learn them by themselves a quick way of getting on with it. In that process, I'll surely mess stuff up, but that's interpretation for you ahah Sorry, Owen.

Chord function has to do with the common (or un-common) tones of each chord. B maj and G#m7 function interchangeably because they are almost the same chord (Bmaj = B D# F#, G#m7 = G# B D# F#).

You could interchange the two however you want; since Owen treats the last chord as a Bmaj later turning into a G#m7 I suppose neither of us are right or wrong.

As for inversion (Bmaj vs. Bmaj/D# vs. Bmaj/F#), just a different way to say the same thing. It has nothing to do with the harmonic function. Ditto for chord extensions (add9 etc.)
