TITO & TARANTULA - "After Dark" Tablature

Tito and Tarantula - After dark

Intro:

|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|--------16--19--16-----------------|
|-16h19--------------19-------------|
|------------------------19--17-----|
|-----------------------------------|

Another way to play the intro is this version:
(It's easier to play, but the version above sounds better, just play it as you want)

|-------7--10--7--------------------|
|-7h10------------10----------------|
|---------------------9--7----------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|


The chords in the verses are always B and A (play it barré)

|--7------5-------------|
|--7------5-------------|
|--8-(B)--6-(A)---------|
|--9------7-------------|
|--9------7-------------|
|--7------5-------------|

The chords are played with a basic rhythm pattern. If you play it it's very easy, but if you wanna write it down...
I've tried to make an system that's easy to understand and includes everything you need, so that it sounds like the original version.

|--------7-)-(means:pulling-------5-----------|
|-------7-)--down the pick--------5--x-x------|
|------8-)---and touching---------6--x-x------|
|-----9-)----the strings)---------7--x-x------|
|--9-------------------------x-7-----x-x------|
|--7-------------------------x-5--------------|

That's the rhythm pattern played all over the verse. Just listen to the song and you'll find out quickly how to play it!!!

The other chords used in the verse and at the end of the chorus are just powerchords:

|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--9---7---11--------------------------|
|--9---7---11--------------------------|
|--7---5---9---------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
e5 d5 f#5
