Tuning: Standard EADGBe
This is exactly the guitar for the first song on the new Sigur album.
well, exactly the guitar that Jónsi plays..I think some backup is involved during the verse.
 
The verse might sound wrong,
but Jónsi meets the important notes in the chords with the notes he's singing,
not with the tune of the song. (which really got me confused at first).
 
Either way, this song can be tricky at first with the timing, so I will show you the parts
and after they end on the tab, that's where it would repeat.
 
Intro:
e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|--4--6--7--2--4--6--2------|
D|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0------|
A|--x--x--x--x--x--x--x------|
E|--3--5--7--2--3--5--2------|
 
Verse: right along with Jónsi's singing.
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|--11--9--11--14--11--9--11--7--9---|
D|--0---0--0---0---0---0--0---0--0---|
A|--x---x--x---x---x---x--x---x--x---|
E|--10--9--10--14--10--9--10--7--9---|
 
Prechorus: real short, just the two chords, but is played
           between some of the verse repeats.
e|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|---6~---7~----|
D|---0~---0~----|
A|---x~---x~----|
E|---5~---7~----|
 
Chorus: I'll try to show the changes with the lyrics..this could confuse you.
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|--4---------------------2--------6---------|
D|--0---------------------0--------0---------|
A|--x---------------------x--------x---------|
E|--3---------------------2--------5---------|
      Lalalalalalalala    Vindur í hárinu
 (the chorus chords are strummed over and over, i just didn't show that)
 
 
Well, you can probably figure out the rest..sounds like it ends on D,
I just play xx07xx, sounds good to me.
