Goo Goo Dolls – Iris
Music by John Rzeznik
Tab by Chan
Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBd)
Tune e to d
E to D
I’m pretty tired of dropping down to BDDDDD to play this song, so I thought I’d tab it
in an easier to get to tuning… with no popping strings (and if you DO pop one… that’s
sad).

[Verse]
D Dsus2 G5
And I’d give up forever to touch you
Bm7 Asus4 G5
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
D Dsus2 G5
You’re the closest to Heaven that I’ll ever be
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And I don’t want to go home right now
D Dsus2 G5
‘Cause all I can taste is this moment
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And all I can breathe is your life
D Dsus2 G5
And sooner or later it’s over
Bm7 Asus4 G5
I just don’t want to miss you tonight
[Chorus]
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And I don’t want the world to see me
Bm7 Asus4 G5
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
Bm7 Asus4 G5
When everything’s meant to be broken
Bm7 Asus4 G5
I just want you to know who I am
[Instrumental]
Bm7 Bm9 G5
Bm7 Bm9 G5
[Verse]
D Dsus2 G5
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t commin’
Bm7 Asus4 G5
Or the moment of truth in your lies
D Dsus2 G5
When everything feels like the movies
Bm7 Asus4 G5
Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive
[Chorus]
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And I don’t want the world to see me
Bm7 Asus4 G5
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
Bm7 Asus4 G5
When everything’s meant to be broken
Bm7 Asus4 G5
I just want you to know who I am

When everything’s meant to be broken
Bm7 Asus4 G5
I just want you to know who I am

Chan, pretty good arrangment...but I have to say that you have a flawed understanding of theory, and I want to point this out because you seem to be putting down those who "don't" get theory. I am a musician who knows theory and can read and what not, but I still say the best players rely on their ear.
That B min chord voicing is good sounding, but there is no such thing as an augmented third. THat would simply be a 4th. The chord (as you tabbed it) is spelled xBDADD, which make the following chord tones:
B=Root; D=flatted third (i.e. minor third); and A= flatted 7th. That spells out a simple tun of the mill B minor 7th chord thats lacking a 5th (which it doesn't need it anyway). Don't confuse people here who are actually trying to learn theory. That's my understanding anyway, and I'm been a trained musician with a performance degree. I've never heard of an Augmented 3rd!!!
Good work on the tab though Chan, but less lecturing next time - especially when you're talking smack about stuff you don't know about.

Very nice, sounds good...I was looking for a simple alternate tuning for this song, easy in-easy out when sitting in front of a group of people. This fits the bill.
Thanks
Keep em coming.
