                             PROMISE - Delirious?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Tuning: Standard
 
There are two guitars in this song, an acoustic, and a lead electric.  The acoustic
simply strums chords, while
the electric plays the riffs.
 
Intro/Chorus Riff (played four times for intro, and three times every chorus.  At the
end of every chorus
play a C open chord)
e|-------------3-----x-----x----|
B|-------------3--x--3--x--2----|
G|-------------0--x--0--x--0----|
D|-------------0--x--2--x--2----|
A|--x----------x--x--2--x--0----|
E|--x-3-3--0-0-3-----x-----x----|
 
For verse one, the electric strums each of these chords once (starting on the first Cmaj7),
while the acoustic plays them (they are actually playing a variation of A, but I can't
figure it out):
Em-A-Em-A-Cmaj7-Fmaj7-Em-Em-A-Em-A-Cmaj7-Fmaj7-Em
 
For the chorus, the acoustic plays Em-A-Em-A-Em-A-Cmaj7
 
For the second verse, the acoustic plays the same chords as before, while the electric
plays the following
riff twice:
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|------3------2------3------2------1------1------0----|
G|----0------2------0------2------0------2------0------|
D|--2------2------2------2------2------3------2--------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
 
Then the chorus is played again, the same as before.
 
During the breakdown, just play Cmaj7 palm muted, and have the electric join in right
before the solo.
 
The acoustic basically plays Em-A during the solo, with some other chords thrown in here
or there.  It's hard
to hear under the electric.
 
Solo (this took several weeks to work out, but I'm pretty sure it's all there)

Outro: during the outro, the acoustic plays Em7-D-some variation of C-Cmaj7
 
The lead plays this rift three times:
