Subject: TAB: Counting Crows, "Mercury"

Tab: "Mercury" Counting Crows
Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur (mmazur@wpi.edu)

Guitar 1 is an acoustic, tuned to open Eb (Eb Bb Eb G Bb Eb)
Guitar 2 is a mandolin, tuned down 1/2 step (Gb Db Ab Eb)

Note: Watch the time signature here. The main riff is in 14/8, which
I think of as a measure of 6 followed by a measure of 8 (as
I indicate below). But, the rest of the song is in 8/8, and the
shifts from 14/8 to 8/8 and back again are subtle.

Intro and main riff: 

|  |-----0-----------|----0--------------|
|  |--------0--2/3\2-|-------0-----0-----|
|14|-----------2/3\2-|-0--------------0--| Guitar 1 (all of guitar 1
| 8|-----------2/3\2-|-0-----------------| is played with a slide)
|  |-----------2/3\2-|-0-----------------|
|  |--0--------------|-0--------0--------|
    (6/8)             (8/8)

Verse: (guitar 1 plays main riff over Eb)
| |/5--------5--------|
| |/5--5-----5--------|
|8|/5-----5--5--5-----| Guitar 1 plays this for the Ab chord
|8|/5--------5-----5--| (note the change to 8/8)
| |/5--------5--------|
| |/5--------5--------|

         Ab

                                  Eb

Chorus:
   Bb                  Ab
| |/7--------7--------|/5--------5--------|
| |/7--7-----7--------|/5--5-----5--------|
|8|/7-----7--7--7-----|/5-----5--5--5-----| Guitar 1
|8|/7--------7-----7--|/5--------5-----5--| (again in 8/8)
| |/7--------7--------|/5--------5--------|
| |/7--------7--------|/5--------5--------|

       Bb               Ab
It's a sin ...
                  Eb (guitar 1 plays main riff)

Bridge:

|/12--| plays the main riff over the bridge
