                        Life is Strange Original Soundtrack - Jonathan Morali
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is only the beginning of a tab, and I would really appreciate your help.
I've managed to get started with the soundtrack to Life is Strange, but I'm only a beginner and it's past
 my difficulty level really.
 
You can listen to the soundtrack on YouTube to help you get a feel for the song
(if the video's still up): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cGzJ_L_aK0
This tab is for the song that plays at the start menu and the pause menu – the first one in the linked video.
 
The main guitar part repeats the same pattern again and again, on the high e and B strings.
You change the notes you play but still play the same strings.
There's also a backing guitar part that I haven't tabbed all of yet.
 
Tuning: Standard tuning
Capo: 3rd fret
 
Main guitar
D major chord pattern
 
e|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----|
B|-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3--|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|

D major chord pattern - intro variation
 
e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----|
G|-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
 
In every bar, this pattern of the e and B strings is played 8 times, so there are 16 notes in each bar.
 
When the song first fades in, this pattern varies very slightly for one bar.
It then reverts to the usual pattern of the e and B strings for the rest of the song.
 
Main guitar
A major chord pattern

For the Bminor pattern, the backing chord is different but the pattern is actually the same notes
as for the D major chord.
 
Backing guitar
Chorus and bridge
 
Bm        A     A     D    Bm     A     D   D   Bm     A     A    D     G        G    A     A

D|--------------2-----0--------------------------------------2-----0----0--0-------------------|
A|-----------------4--------------------------------------------4------------------------------|

The basic chord pattern of the song is:
 
 
[Intro]
 
D D
 
[Verse]
 
D D A D
D D A D
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm A A D
Bm A D D
 
[Verse]
 
D D A D
D D A D
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm A A D
Bm A D D
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm A A D
G G A A
 
And it starts back at the beginning again.
