    Wintersleep Tabs

    We should really get the tabs that were on the old forum, someone must have them around somewhere.  Right now, I am loving this one that Matt posted on Facebook. 

    Astronaut

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    I had 'em bookmarked, but that's all. I didn't think enough to actually save them in a word document or anything.

     Also - I know its not technically Wintersleep, but if anyone has anything tab or chord-wise for Madam Ruse I would be forever in their debt.

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    Here's my tab of Orca:

    Clenching my jagged jaws, over the capture
              F      Am                              F
    I'll be a killer whale when I grow up, I'll be a monster.

    *****************
    The fierce part afterwards, as I hear it, is a palm-muted Am chord spiked with violently bent-upwards F and C chords.

    I think that's all I got. This song makes me think of an angry child
    hiding in the woods, wishing to destroy society. I think more people can
    relate to it than would admit.

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    I believe Orca is played in Drop D. But it's a pretty darn close tab as it is.

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    I don't suppose anyone has a tab of or could tab out Dead Letter?

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    I've mostly got bits and pieces of songs that I liked. I've tried so hard to figure out the vocal harmony section of Faithful Guide... it's so goddamn intricate. But I think I may have the chords to Assembly Lines:

     Bm  D  G  DaddF# 

    I think there are a bunch of very subtle changes, but I haven't figured those out.

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    hey,

     

    I joined and it does have good tabs! I want to learn "dead letter and the infinite yes", and it gives the tabs as E F#m D A.

     

    I'm just a beginner, does anyone have a bit more detailed tabs?

             Em7             Am
    Said the preacher to the astronaut
    I heard it's kinda lonesome there
    Nothing to talk to but a cold, cold air
    Tell me, tell me what was it like?
    Did meaning fall from that celestial light?
    Did it wrap you up in conversation?
    Did it leave you like some ineffable nothing?
                    C                   Em

    Sounds good to me. Nice job.

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    <***> I didn't even notice that the first post was a tab of Astronaut. </***>

     Oh well.

    Indifferent [:|] Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    Here's how i've been playing it...

    nerves normal, breath normal

    main riff
    
    E---------------------------------------------------------
    B---------------------------------------------------------
    F-----------0--------------0---------0--------------0-----
    D-----0---0------0---0---0-----0---0-----0----0---0-------
    F-------9----------5---5---------5---------4----0---------
    D--10----------7-------------7---------5------------------
    
    change to
    
    E---------------------------------------------------------
    B---------------------------------------------------------
    F---------------------------------------------------------
    D---7-7-------7-7-------5-5-7-7-7-------------------------
    F---7-7-------7-7-------5-5-7-7-7-------------------------
    D---7-7--0-0--7-7--0-0--5-5-7-7-7--0-0--------------------
    
    etc etc.
    

    Playing it in this tuning sounds most accurate to me

     

     I hope the formatting doesn't get messed up, if so, i'll try and fix it.

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    There was an old website with all the tunings from the first two albums that has since been shut down. I think that's where I got them, or maybe it was just from the old forum. Luckily, I wrote them down in my trusty notebook so I can share them for you people who want to try to learn some of the songs for yourself. I've figured a few of them out over the years, and I'll try to post some later.

    First Album 

    DADGBE: Orca, Avalanche, Assembly Lines, Butterfly, Motion
    CADGBE: Sore, Snowstorm, Home, Ambulance
    BADGBE: Caliber
    GGDDBbE: Wind

    Second Album

    DFDFBbE: Nerves Normal, Migration, Listen
    GGDGBE: Lipstick, Fog
    BGDGBE: Jaws of Life
    EGDGBE: Faithful Guide, Dance Macabre
    CGDGBE: A Long Flight, People Talk
    CADGBE: Insomnia

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    Thanks for the tunings Hanley!
    Look forward to seeing what tab you throw up as well!

    Re: Wintersleep Tabs

    Here is what I have for Ambulance

    First Part basically just repeats until 1:42 - this is how I've been playing it but it probably isn't the easiest way.

    E----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    B----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    G-----5--------4-------5-----------------------4-----------------------------
    D-------------------------------7-----7-----------------5--------7-----------
    A--7-----5-------5--0-----5--------------5--------5--------5-----------------
    C-----------7----------------5-----5--------7--------4--------5--------------

    OR - this way may be a lot easier - p = pulloff

    E----------------------------------------------------------------------
    B----------------------------------------------------------------------G----------------------------------------------------------------------
    D-----10-p0-----9-p0------10-p0-----7------7-p0-----9-p0----5-p0-----7-
    A--7-------------------------------------------------------------------
    C------------7---------9----------5-----5--------7--------4-------5----

    There might be a better way that I am just completely overlooking. Let me know if you think there is.

    Second Part repeats from 1:42 until 2:50 - it goes something like this

    If this is a joke.....
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    B-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    G----9----------7---------9----------5-----5--------7---------4--------5-
    D----10---------9---------10---------7-----7--------9---------5--------7-
    A-------10--------10---------10--------------5--------10--------5--------
    C-9----------7---------9----------5-----5--------7---------4--------5----

    OR possibly like this - p = pulloff

    If this is a joke.....
    E------------------------------------------------------------------------
    B------------------------------------------------------------------------
    G----9-p0-------7-p0------9-p0------5-----5--------7---------0---------5--
    D----10---------9---------10--------7-----7-p0-----9-p0------5-p0------7--
    A------------------------------------------------------------------------
    C-9----------7---------9----------5-----5--------7--------4---------5----

    The rest of the song seems to be a variation of this. I'm too lazy to tab it out now...will do it later if requested.
