Vertigo tab

Vertigo

This is the tab for the lead part of Vertigo by the Libertines.

Standard Tuning

Intro

E-----------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------|
G------------------1-------3--------|   (x4)
D------------------1-------3--------|
A----------1---3-------3-------3----|
E--1---4----------------------------|

This next part is played throughout the verse's:

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
D------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
A----------1---3-------3-------3-----------3---5-------5-------5--|
E--1---4---------------------------3---6--------------------------|

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|
D------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|
A----------6---8-------8-------8-----------1---3-----------3------|
E--6---9---------------------------1---4--------------------------|

That is played 6 times, until the words say "or you'll forever be...".
Then, you play this:

"Just walking"   "as the people"

E--6-----------------6--------------------------------|
B--8-----------------7--------------------------------|
G--8-----------------8---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------|       (x2)
D--8-----------------8---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------|
A--6-----------------6---------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|


Then the intro is repeated, and the other guitarist plays this little solo:

E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--13(b)-13(b)-13(b)-13(b)-13(b)-13(b)-13(b)-13(b)-12/10----10--12--12--14--14--14-|
G--------------------------------------------------------11-----14--14--14--14--14-|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


This is played with the verse again, but only twice this time

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
D------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
A----------1---3-------3-------3-----------3---5-------5-------5--|
E--1---4---------------------------3---6--------------------------|

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|   (x2)
D------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|
A----------6---8-------8-------8-----------1---3-----------3------|
E--6---9---------------------------1---4--------------------------|

Then the chorus:

"Just walking"   "as the people"

E--6-----------------6--------------------------------|
B--8-----------------7--------------------------------|
G--8-----------------8---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------|       (x2)
D--8-----------------8---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------|
A--6-----------------6---------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|

Then the other guitarist does another little solo, but I don't know that part. During 
solo, the guitarist playing the main riff, plays this:

E-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-----------------|   (x8)
D-----------------|
A-----------------|
E--1-1-1-1-1-4-1--|

Then, its back to the main riff:


E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
D------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
A----------1---3-------3-------3-----------3---5-------5-------5--|
E--1---4---------------------------3---6--------------------------|

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|
D------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|   (x4)
A----------6---8-------8-------8-----------1---3-----------3------|
E--6---9---------------------------1---4--------------------------|


There, that's the main riff. The chords played over the riff, and during all the verses, 
 F, G, Bb, then F again.

  F     G     Bb    F

E---- E---- E---- E----|
B---- B---- B---- B----|
G---- G---- G---- G----|
D-3-- D-5-- D-8-- D-3--|
A-3-- A-5-- A-8-- A-3--|
E-1-- E-3-- E-6-- E-1--|
