IN LIMBO for guitar - 4/4, 2/4 time signature transcribed from the LIVE version in Arles, France - 13/06/00 I have tabbed out each riff and named them INTRO RIFF, VERSE RIFF and CHORUS RIFF, to add a bit of structure (not that it's distinguishable). At the end I have put a structure layout. There is only the one guitar throughout. Ed plays the little intro riff on keyboard but it sounds okay on guitar, but when everyone comes in, Jonny plays the main repeated riff. Jonny plays little delayed riffs here and there too. KEY: H - hammer on P - pull off x - muted scratch INTRO RIFF - 4/4, 2/4: Here is the little riff before it kicks in. It might have a short delay on, that's why it was so damn hard to tab..! 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + e ------------------------------------------------- B --1-3-3-3-----1-3-3---3---3-3-3-3-5-3-1-3---3-3-- G ---H-----------H-------------------P---H--------- D ------------------------------------------------- A ------------------------------------------------- E ------------------------------------------------- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + e --------------------------------------------------- B --1-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3---3-1-3-- G ---H-----------H-------------------H-----------H--- D --------------------------------------------------- A --------------------------------------------------- E --------------------------------------------------- Then it all kicks in but this keyboard/guitar still continues quietly throughout the verses, varying a little.
