E=MC2 (Acoustic) - Ayreon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: IanC89
Tuning: Standard
******************************************************
The basic verse follows a simple augmentation:
e|--3--3--5--3--3--3--5--3---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The actual chord progression sounds like this, which is not very easy to play, but is
right sound if you wish
to play about with tuning to make it easier. It is effectively an F, with the bass going
to E to Eb to D with the
above augmentation happening.
e|--3--3--5--3--3--3--5--3--3--3--5--3---------------------------------------|
B|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1---------------------------------------|
G|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2---------------------------------------|
D|--3--3--3--3--2--2--2--2--1--0--0--0---------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The chorus is a lot simpler and is just : Am Em Gm Dm
Am Em
This may be our last chance
Gm Dm
If we want man to survive
Am Em
A mirror reflection
Gm Dm
Show them our world as it dies
Am Em
Cut through the barrier
Gm Dm
And do what no one has dared
Am Em
Let's break the equation
Gm Dm
E = M C Squared
I hope that is satisfactory. I love Ayreon and I think it is criminal that there are no
tabs available.

According to the release party video, Arjen plays it with a capo on the 5th fret. It looks/sounds to me like the verse is played like as follows, with the right hand deciding when to play the B and high E string rather than the left hand moving (which can be tricky)

The chorus chords (which are absolutely right) become Em, Bm, Dm and Am with the capo
+3

Criminal indeed...
the chords sound awsome.
