------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Banal - Bill Nelson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: axe victim Email: Leave a message on my ‘Ultimate Guitar’ profile or comment here and I’ll get back to you. From Bill Nelsons solo output, the first track from the Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam album. One of his most popular guitar solos too, so I have attempted to tab it. Here's a link to his myspace page. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=78393366 Tuning: EADGBe | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato/sustain | + harmonic | x Mute note Intro and main riff... ___B________________________________G7_____________________________ e|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|--------------------------------|-------------------------3---3--| A|-2---2-----------2---2----------|---------2---2---5---5----------| E|---------4---2-----------4---2--|-3---3--------------------------| | 1 - & - 2 - & - 3 - & - 4 - & -| 1 - & - 2 - & - 3 - & - 4 - & -| ___B________________________________G7_____________________________ ( lead guitar during intro... ) e|--------------------------------|/19~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-| B|----------------/12~~~~~~~~~~~~~|--------------------------------| G|-4~~~~~~~~~~~~~-----------------|--------------------------------| D|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| A|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| Verse: ( palm mute chords slightly... ) ___A________________________________B_______________D______________ " Every sound I hear Seems to sound the same Every face I see Seems the same to me " e|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|-----------------3---3---3---3--| G|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2--|-4---4---4---4---2---2---2---2--| D|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2--|-4---4---4---4---0---0---0---0--| A|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---2---2---2------------------| E|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| Repeat chord sequence until...

Every book I've read Says the same old thing Everything I've said Has that same old ring Banal... I know you, you know me Talk about it constantly Sky of blue, sea of green Only fools harbour dreams Everyone I meet Hands me the same old line Buildings in the street Display familiar signs Programmes on TV Employ the same device Their warm humanity Just leaves me cold as ice Banal...
