rogue wave
fantasies
tabbed by johan
i pieced this together myself , and it’s not perfect , but definitely does the
job .
[ 8/21/10 update : sorry , i found some flaws , i’m embarrassed to have let them
slip in . . . i’ll try to keep this thing as accurate as it can be . ]
capo on the 2nd fret .
standard tuning eadgbe
chords used : A , C , D , Em , G ( not too tough )
i think it’s more fun to put your own spin on a song , but if you want to try
and replicate the groove of rogue wave’s version , you’ll want to strum
something like this for those long E minor stretches ( bearing in mind that i
have split the 8 repeating beats into the first 4 , and the second 4 , as there
is variation and i don’t want that to get missed . . . i’m labeling them a and B
for later reference ) :
A | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & B | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | over and over .
D D u D D u D D u
D
for an even more authentic sound , ( referencing the strumming pattern i
mentioned above ) , you can do some minor finger maneuvering that would look
something like this ( where “this” is the “b” chunk of that riff ) :
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
E | – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – |
B | – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – |
G | – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – |
D | – 2 – – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 2 – – – |
A | – 2 – – – 2 – 2 – – – 1 – 0 – – – |
E | – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – |
one last thing , i count this in 4/4 , so that’s how i’ll be referencing the
number of times to repeat things . i guess if you wanted to you could do it
in 2/2 or 8/8 but i was never good enough in orchestra to learn or care about
the petty differences .
intro :
Em G , C G ( 2x )
Em ( 4x , percussion would come in here )
verse :
Em
give me a second if you like ( 4x )
D A Em
i Am going , light ahead . . .
Em
i’ll get you in the corner if you like it ( 4x )
D A Em
i Am going to be resigned
D A
if you are ready anytime
chorus ( 2x )
Em G C G
every day is a fantasy
Em G C G
are you with me? are you with me?
Em ( 2x )
Em
i’ll get you in the middle if you want it ( 4x )
pre – chorus
D A
i feel like a soldiers file
D A
she felt bad and reviled
chorus ( 2x )
Em G C G
every day’s a fantasy
G Em C G
are you with me , are you with me?
bridge
C
places , places ,
C
i’m all out of faces . . .
chorus ( 2x or more )
Em G C G
every day is a fantasy
Em G C G
are you with me , are you with me?
outro ( repeat until satisfied )
Em
i Am in no way associated with rogue wave , their record label ,
their image , name , or product . i just thought it would be
nice to make it easier for people to learn this tune since i
can’t find a tab for it * anywhere * .
