Equipment Mike uses: PRS Hollowbody II guitar. Earnie Ball strings. 2 BOSS PH-2
Super Phaser Pedals MXR phase 90 pedal. Mesa Boogie Amps. and probably some other
stuff, but i just expect he uses this for this song, maybe some other stuff. I am
an incubus geek hehe, i can play lots, so you probably will see many incubus/other
bands tabs from me :)
I am positive this is all correct, i have played to the song loads. There are many
other tabs, which aren't bad, but a bit off, one of the other tabs of this was the
best i've seen. So this is just like all of them put together, but correct!
And it is not in drop d i am positive, you can play it but its definately wrong, and
the most on mxtabs in drop d r really wrong...i seen some in drop d which sound good
but it isn't in drop d



E----
B--10
G--11
D--9-

Intro with phaser, not too much of a phaser
gently strum it with your thumb, so you are always strumming down

E---------------- --------
B---------------- --------
G---------------- --------
D--2-444-777-444- --2-44-7
A--2-444-555-444- --2-44-5
E--0-222-555-222- 2 times --0-22-5 then repeat from the start

intro w/ distortion
i recommend doing the E Minor with your middle and third finger, and then when you
get to the 5577 you put a bar down on the 5th fret because you shouldn't play the
high strings.
ALWAYS STRUM DOWNWARDS

verse is the intro with phaser

verse when mike scratches
D------
A------
E--12/2

scratch the string fast and slide fast, try not to scratch too far


pre-chorus B.
E--000-000--------|----------
B--000-000--------|----------Only Play B. After the first round of the prechorus
G--222-111-444-333|----------on the second time mute or play the final chord
D--222-222-555-444|-777/555--getting louder
A--000-000-555-444|-555/333--
E----------333-222|----------

listen to the song for timing, this is played clean. when you put on the 3554 you can put on the
g bar chord, just don't play the high b and e, the same with 3554, but f# chord.
ALWAYS STRUM DOWN, THEN UP...

chorus is the distorted intro

E-----------------------------------------------------
Listen to the song for timing. ON THE CHORDS, STRUM DOWN THEN UP...

and on this bit
D---2/444\22222
A-0-3/555\33333
E--------------
i don't think it really matters if you play the A open, because it is so quick you can't really hear it,
well i can't. heh

Play Chorus
On Ending
e0
G-777 B0
D-777 G2
A-555 OR D2
E-555 A0
STRUM.DOWN.UP.DOWN AND DONT LET IT RING
Those 2 chords are the same practically as 5th Fret on E=A and the 5577 is closer
as you have to play the intro at the end!

So this is the order of the song
Intro w/ Phaser
Intro distorted
Intro w/ phaser (verse)
Pre-Chorus
Intro distorted (chorus)
Intro w/ Phaser (verse)
Pre-Chorus
Intro distorted (chorus)
Special Bit
Intro distorted (chorus)
