Gives You Hell Tab

Song: Gives You Hell
Artist: All American Rejects
Tabber: Dirk Lance (karodgers2@bsu.edu)
 
EDIT:  I'd like to give credit to chris_james for the mini solo part of the tab.  That's where
I got the positioning/fretting idea and went from there.
 
There are some pretty good tabs out there, in fact I want to give credit to anyone who
already submitted tabs on UG, I took a little from each. But I wanted to put the missing
parts in to try to make a complete tab. So basically, most is a re-interpretation of
others' tabs, but the new parts are completely by me and my ear.  I know not all
instruments are guitar on this song, but this tab is meant to transcribe all parts into
guitar parts.  AAR are a two guitar band so second guitar parts will be noted.
 
[Intro/Verse 1]

g|-----9------6-----6-----6------|
d|-------------------------------|
A|--7-7----4-4-------------------|

Second Guitar/Piano occurs at 0:33, 0:43, and 0:52.

E|--5--4--2------------------|
 
[Bridge] These are the chords I use.  You can mess around with how you
break them up/arpeggiate them, but this is the basic gist.
 
e|--7--------7-----------------|
b|--7---9----7---5-------------|
g|--8---9----8---6-------------|
d|--9---9----9---5-------------|
A|--9---7----9---7-------------|
E|--7--------7---5-------------|
 
[Chorus] (x3)                            1st Chorus ending only:
e|---------------------------|---------------------|----------|
b|---------------------------|---------------------|----------|
g|--9-9----------------------|--9-9----------------|----------|
d|--9-9--11-11--7-7--7-7-----|--9-9--9-9--7-7--7-7-|--x-7\6---|
A|--7-7--11-11--7-7--7-7-----|--7-7--9-9--7-7--7-7-|--x-7\6---|
E|--------9--9--5-5--5-5-----|-------7-7--5-5--5-5-|--x-5\4---|
 
Note: I've seen the music video and live footage and this is not the way they
play the chorus chords.  But they are still the same chords, and I like this way better.
If you want to play it "accurately," shift the chords down to a lower part of the neck.
 
[Mini-solo] 2nd Piano/Guitar plays Verse 1 underneath.

Second Bridge, Rhythm Guitar: Like the other bridge, these are the chords I use, but
it's up to you if you want to strum them or arpeggiate them.  Find out what sounds
right to you.  I've added vocal cues to help.
 
   Now... ...you...me ...take...no...me

                               . . . . PM until drums/vocal breakdown.
 
[Second Bridge] Lead Guitar:  This was the hardest part for me to find out, but I think
I have it.  This is what sets my tab apart from the others, no one has tabbed this yet.
Comes in at 2:29.
 
e|--16p12----12-(x4)--19p12----12-(x4)--17p12----12-(x4)--14~--------|

I contemplated tabbing this as tapping, as there are a few ways to do this, but I went
with arpeggios.  Do it however you like, as long as it sounds right.  This is my way.
 
[Last Chorus] Very different!  Listen closely.
