Alright ladies and gents. I've seen a lot of tabs for the end portal song
with that Ellen chick, but this one is the acoustic way that John Coulton actually
plays it on youtube.
Good song, here's how he does it.
*This is the basic picking part for the verse, played 6 times for each verse
E||--------------------------|
B||--------2-----------2-----|
G||-----2-----2-----2-----2--| x6
D||--2-----------4-----------|
A||--------------------------|
E||--------------------------|
E||--------------------------|--------------------------|| *Here I like to
B||--------3-----------3-----|--------3-----------3-----|| add the base E
G||-----------4-----------4--|-----1-----1-----1-----1--|| note too, but
D||-----4-----------4--------|--2-----------2-----------|| he doesnt do it
A||--2-----------2-----------|--------------------------|| so I left it out
E||--------------------------|--------------------------||
*When coming to a chorus, he'll strum an F chord after the last E7 in the verse like this.
E||-----------0--||
B||--------1-----||
G||-----2--------||
D||--3-----------||
A||--------------||
E||--------------||
The chorus are just simple chords. I'll take the second chorus lyrics cause I like them
best
C G F C
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
C G F C
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time
Dm7 G C C/Bm Am
So Im GLaD I got burned, think of all the things we've learned
F Em7 A
For the people who are still alive
*The chords for the strummed verse are just A major and F#m without the low and high F
Bm and Em7
E||----------------------|----------------------||
B||--2----2----2----2----|--2----2----2----2----||
G||--2----2----2----2----|--2----2----2----2----||
D||--2----2----2----2----|--4----4----4----4----|| x6
A||--0----0----0----0----|--4----4----4----4----||
E||----------------------|----------------------||
E||--------------------------|--------------------------||
B||--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--||
G||--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--||
D||--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--||
A||--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--||
E||--------------------------|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--||
Thats all there is to it. Super excellent song.
