Stonehenge

<< STANDARD TUNING >>> Another song from musical comedy duo Ylvis! Once again they use some very interesting chords progressions and transitions. I was originally going to make this tab with the guitar tuned down half a step so you can hit the low Eb (D#) note during the verse chords but I think most people would prefer a standard tuning version. Regardless I have included a Bonus Intro section at the bottom of the tab for those feeling ambitious enough to play it a half step down. ;) There are a lot of subtle chord variations throughtout the songs (like sus2 sus4 6 maj7b5). You can always simplify the chord and use a regular major/minor chord if you find them to be too cumbersome. As always listen to the song while playing with the tab to get the timing down! ------------------------------- CHORDS USED IN INTRO AND VERSES    Gsus2 (3xx233)        (3xx033) D#maj7b5 (xx1233) ------------------------------- **If you want an easier variation just use Gm and D#maj7 for intro and verses** (Or you can omit using the G5 and D#maj7*) ------------------------------------------------------ Stonehenge - Ylvis INTRO |        Gsus2    |        Gsus2               | |    maj7b5 |    maj7b5       * | VERSE 1    Gm            Gsus2    G5 My life is so successful          Gm           Gsus2    G5 I’ve got everything a man could      D#maj7    D#maj7b5   D#maj7   D#maj7b5  D#maj * ever need.       Gm          Gsus2   G5 Got a 1000 dollar haircut       Gm          Gsus2     G5 And I even have a talk show on TV                                    And I know I should be happy but instead           Gm                             Fsus4  F There’s a question I can’t get out of my head. CHORUS 1 **Easier Variation: Substitute for and for (1x3231) (x6878x)     What’s the meaning of Stonehenge? It’s killing me that no one knows Why it was built 5000 years ago.     Why did they build the Stonehenge? How could they raise the stones so high Completely without the technology We have today? VERSE 2        Gm          Gsus2 When I make my jalapeños     Gm             Gsus2  G5 Calamari and prosciutto I’m the king!                                        Gm                Gsus2 My wife applauds me in the kitchen        Gm             Gsus2 When I tell her all I bought is from the local store                             And when the kids have gone to bed we’re all alone She gives me a smile                        Fsus4  F Then she plays with my balls CHORUS 2     All I think of is Stonehenge I think about it when I dream The biggest henge that I have ever seen     What’s the purpose of Stonehenge? A giant granite birthday cake      Fsus4          F Or a prison far too easy to escape?           BRIDGE (technically starts with the G on "escape?")   Stonehenge! Stonehenge! Lots of stones in a row! They were 25 tons each stone my friend But amazingly they got them all down in the sand And they moved it (Stonehenge!) And they dragged it (Stonehenge!)          G                       Asus4 And they rolled it 46 miles from Wales! CHORUS 3    What’s the deal with Stonehenge? You should have left a tiny hint          Gsus4             G             D When you made this fucking labyrinth of stone! (Who the...) Who the fuck builds a Stonehenge? (fuck builds a Stonehenge?) Two Stone Age-guys wondering what to do     Gsus4                   G Who just said: "Dude let’s build a henge or two!" OUTRO **Chords in () are optional but compliment the voicing of the song**     I would give anything to know About the Stonehenge Yeah I would give all I have to give Would you give them your car? Mmm Are you kidding me of course I would have given the car What car do you drive?                                       Drive Civic drive Civic. Drive Civic! A car you can trust! Never mind the car let’s talk about the henge What henge is that again?    It’s the Stonehenge it’s the Stonehenge! God it is the greatest henge of all! What’s the meaning of Stone-henge?! -------------------------------------------------- There’s the tab! As you can see they use all sorts of music tricks by using chords from different keys. You can make some of the chords more complex to better match the piano if you’d like though the chords I used above should provide just enough flavor making the song overly difficult. <<**BONUS SECTION**>> Tune guitar half a step down and play the following for the intro (let the notes ring): |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|--4----4-----3----3-----4----4----3---------4----4----3----3----4-----4----3-------| |----------6----------------------------6----------------------------------------6--| Eb|--4---------------------4-------------------0-------------------0------------------| Then play the rest of the song as normal but shift each chord one half step up (one fret).
