- SOMEBODY TOLD ME -


Tablature : Somebody told me



Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready ? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
I'm ready, let's roll onto something new

'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
When all I wanna do is try

[x3]
Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around.

Tuning : E standard (E A D G B E)

For this next part after the intro where he sings, "Breakin' my back just to know
your the guitarist uses a harmonic technique to get that cool helicopter effect.
To do this hold your fingers over the strings loosely, not pressing down enough
to get sound from the actual notes, but tight enough to not hear open strings vibrate...easy smeasy right ?

I've transcribed it hear to show the parts of the neck Keuning (guitarist) is hovering 
and the parts he's "sliding" to.

|-------------------------------------------|
|-15-\-----9-\-----7-\-----3----------/-5---|
|-15--\----9--\----7--\----3---------/--5---|
|-15---\---9---\---7---\---3--------/---5---|
|-15----\--9----\--7----\--3-------/----5---|
|-15-----\-9-----\-7-----\-3------/-----5---|

(Hold each of these harmonics for a 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & count while sliding. Don't reach the 
chord until you finish the counting slide of the other chords. This is the only part of 
song that requires you to utilize upward and downward strumming in a fast pace.)

stays fun.)
