Up on The Sun

Gtr I (E A D G B E)
This is a really good song that I couldn’t find a tab on so I thought I might as well give it a try. I haven’t been playing so long so the tab is probably totally wrong, but anyway:


Play this first part about 4 times as a intro then 4 times in the verse
|-3-----------------------
|-3-----------------------
|-4-5-3-------------------   Hold on a bit on the “5” then play really fast
|-5-----5-3---------------
|-5---------5-4-3---------
|-3-----------------------

Then this 2 times then back to the first part. Do this a few times
|-5---------------|------------------|
|-5-------5-------|-------5----------|
|-6-----6---6-----|-----6---6--------|
|-7-7-7-------7---|-7-7-------7------|
|-7-------------7-|-------------7----|
|-5---------------|------------------|

Play this boring part really long,  play mostly the A part then listen for the  change to D then back
|------------------------------|
|-----2---2-----------3---3----|
|---2---2-----------2---2------|
|-2---------------0------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|

The "up on the sun" part is only an A //// then G//// the A again.
Then play the part above again
Then the "up on the sun" part
|-5--3----|
|-5--3----|
|-6--4----|
|-7--5----|
|-7--5----|
|-5--3----|

Just improvise with different arpeggio patterns in the end of the song. Try a few different chords. I hope someone can make a tab with more of the rhythm parts.
