From: Jeffrey Lo Subject: TAB: "Blood On the Rooftops" - Genesis Blood on the Rooftops - Genesis (Guitar intro by Steve Hackett) Tabbed by Paul Meekin (PMEEKIN@ESOC.BITNET) and Jeff Lo (JEFFREYLO@delphi.com). The intro up until the vocals was done by Paul Meekin. I have made a few minor changes to Paul's intro. The rest is my fault. :) During the verses, I have added a bass staff and some pedal notes below that. I don't play bass or bass pedals so I probably _really_ screwed things up there. I just liked the way the bass part sounded. During the choruses, I just added my best approximation of some guitar chords to substitue for the synth. Right after the choruses, there are a couple of measures with two or three guitars, bass and keyboards weaving a pattern that I haven't figured out yet. Please send me any comments, corrections, etc. so that I may continue to improve upon this. Hope you enjoy it! + + A e|----------------5-----10-9-7--7---0--------0---------5--------2--0------| B|-5--3--2--3--5----------------7-------0---------0----------3----------0-| G|------------------------------7-------------------------2---------------| D|------------------------------7-----2---2-----2---2-----------0-----2---| A|----0-----2-----4--0----------0-----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------4--------4---------2-----------4------| A AH H A A A -|----4-----------5---4^5^4----5--5--7--9--7--12--10--10--9---------------| -|----------2--0--7---7-----7--7--7--------9-----------------0--3--3--2---| -|-------1--------6---6--------6--6--------9------------------------------| -|-0--------------4---4--------0--0--------0------------------------------| -|-----------------------------------------------------0-----------0------| -|----1-------------------------------------------------------------------| + A -|-------5-----10--9--7--7-----0----------0--------0--------0------3--2-0-| -|-3--5------------------7----------0-----------0--------0----------------| -|-----------------------7--------------------------------------3---------| -|-----------------------7--------2----------2--------2-------------------| -|-2-----4--0------------0--------------------------------------------1---| -|--------------------------4----------4-----------3------------2---------| -|-2-----------2---------------3--3-5-3--------------3--3-5-3-------------| -|----0--1--0-----0--1--0-----------------4/7-7-5----------------4/7-7-5--| -|-----------------------------4--4-5-4--------------4--4-5-4-------------| -|-1--------------------------------------4/7-7------------------4/7-7----| -|-------------0----------------------------------------------------------| -|-------------------2------0-----------0----------0-----------0----------| -|-0-----2-0--0-----2-0--0-----2-0--0-----2-0--0----2-0--0----2-0--0------| -|----0----------0----------0----------0----------------------------------| -|------------0---------------------0------------0-------0--0--------0----| -|------------------------------------------------------------------------| -|---------------------------------------------3-------------------3------| -|-0---------------------0------------------------------------------------| + * * |Faster now...

Use it to your own effect H -Hammer on/hammer off A -A sort of arpeggio but strummed downwards once with the thumb. * -The lower string is plucked very slightly earlier than the top one. Almost like a grace note. () -An implied note. Sometimes it is a string that is struck lightly by mistake, in other instances, it is the rest of the chord. =========================================================================== | | | Jeff Lo D|-0-------0-0-0-0-0-0-------0-0-0-0-0-0- | | Crystal Steel Fabricators C|--7------7-7-7-7-7--6------6-6-6-6-6-6- | | Route 2 Box 13 G|---0-----0-0-0-0-0---0-----0-0-0-0-0-0- | | North Second Street Extended C|----7----7-7-7-7-7----6----6-6-6-6-6-6- | | Delmar, DE 19940 G|-----0---0-0-0-0-0-----0---0-0-0-0-0-0- | | (302) 846-0613 D|--------------------------------------- | | JEFFREYLO@delphi.com -Jimmy Page | | | ===========================================================================
