INCUBUS - "Pardon Me - Correct" Tablature

Song: Pardon Me
Band: Incubus
Tuning: Standard
Transcribed By John W

If Yoy Havent Noticed By Now, I Tab Upside Down. I Much Prefer This Way As I Find It Easier To Match Fingers With Tabs. If You Dont Like This, Your Free To Use Other Tabs Or Just Make Do With My Style. But This Tab Is Correct.

< = volume swell
* = Delay

Note that Mike of Incubus uses a lot of volume swells so this song is very VERY difficult to play on a lp or any other guitar where the volume knob is far away from the strings

Pre-Intro ( Delay, Phase. But flange sounds really good too)
e ----- 5 ---- 5 -------
b - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 -------
g - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 -------
d - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 6 ---
a ----------------- 0 ---
e ----------------- 0 ---
< < < < <

For The Intro, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, and the Outro, I'll just give the chords and you can figure out the amount of strums and the timings yourself. Its easier for me and you'll eventually play the song better if you learn the pattern by listening to the song
