Closer Tab

by Kings Of Leon


(this part is originally played by bass, but sounds decent on guitar)
e|----------------------------------|
B|-------12----------15----------14-| 3x G|----------------------------------|       changes to 4x x 4x when
D|-9----------12----------11--------| 5x /  verse begins though
A|----------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------|

(matthew doesnt "play" this part, he does something with his pickup,
watch any live video if you dont know what i mean)
...(but i guess it could be played like this)
e|------------------|
B|-12b14~~~~~~~~r12-|
G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|

then caleb comes in and plays this throughout the song:

D|-------9------9--------12----------12------7--------6-|
A|---9--------9-------12----------12-------7--------7---|
E|-7---7----7------10----------10--------5--------5-----|

on the second and third verse matthew plays:

G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------|

and inbetween the "coming closer-parts" matthew plays this lick:
