Song : Arousing Thunder
Artist : Grant Lee Buffalo
Album : Copperopolis
For this song you will need to detune your guitar down
1/2 step:
The intro of the song is D and Dsus4 with the
following riff played over the top it four times:
e-----2-3--2---- X 4
b---3---------3-
g-2-------------
d---------------
a---------------
e---------------
Then the first verse starts
(with intro riffx2 played over the top)
Maybe the rain's holding off,
(I'll just refer
Surely it knows, we're down here to this as
D riff now)
riff
Walking 'round barefoot lost
Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear
I know it's a lot
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
For a second so I could coax you to talk
(There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)
^ riff
riff
Think when we first layed eyes
riff
Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby
riff
You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but
You were still in school and I was insecure
I know it's a lot
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
For a second so I could coax you to talk
riff riff
About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv, more....more
(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m
the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)
riff
Looks like the rains holding off
riff
Might as well take this slow
riff
You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close
Then I hear you talking to my soul
Well I know it ain't half
of this story I'm only meaning to ask
riff riff riff etc
Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh, To laugh To laugh
riff
riff
riff
Just play G over the following lines
What would it
What would it D
What would it take you to laugh?
Repeat the above twice, then
I'm not too sure on the ending but I'll give it a go
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Na na na na na na na
Then play D (plus the riff a few times) till
the end.
