Bitter Tab

by Nine Days


Song: Bitter
Artist: Nine Days

This is a really good song by the band that put out the highly overplayed 
"Absolutely(Story of a Girl)".  Which is a good song, just after the 42nd 
time I have heard it I want to drown the girl myself.  Anywho, I don't have a 
clue how to tab a song.  I am, ahhh, hmmm, how should I put this, not 
musically talented whatsoever so all credit goes to my guitar instructor 
Trip.  Any and all corrections are welcome.  However, be forwarned that Trip 
takes pride in his work and will come kick the snot out of you if you say his 
work is no good.  This contains the tabs for the verse, chorus, and the 
bridge where he is singing "You carry your blues behind your eyes".  I think 
there could possibly be another bridge, but I forgotted.  Standard tuning.  
Enjoy

Verse: hit the base alone then the two other strings together, do each four 
times apiece then switch to the next chord following the same rhythm

Bridge:  Don't really know what all this entails other than I know that it 
starts with "You carry your blues behind your eyes"

Play each of the chords listed above(which by the by are G,  D without the 
ring finger, G, and Eminor) in a rhythm that is like Down~ DownDown~DownDown. 
 Play this whole little ditty twice then you move on to this highly difficult 
number:

G (Played in eight sixteenth notes struming down the entire time)

>From there you move on, keeping the same rhythm for each chord, to this chord 
sequence:

G, A, D, Eminor

You repeat that at least once and that is as far as Trip and I have gotten
