AT THE BACK OF THE SHELL – The Kills

Tabbed by: Filip Mesko

Duration: 02:27
Tuning: B F# B E G# C#
(Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps lower.
This is to get a low, bassy tone.)
This song is extremely repetitive and easy. It starts with:
C# |——————————|
G# |——————————|
E |——————————|
B |—9-9-9-9—9-9-9-9-9-9-(6)–| *2
F# |——————————|
B |——————————|
C# |—————————|
G# |—————————|
E |—————————|
B |—9-9-9-9—9-9-9-9-9-9—| *4
F# |—————————|
B |—————————|
C# |—————————|
G# |—————————|
E |—————————|
B |—————————| *2
F# |—7-7-7-7—7-7-7-7-7-7—|
B |—————————|
And then it just alternates between the two notes until 01:22:
C# |———————–|
G# |———————–|
E |———————–|
B |—9-9-9-9—9-9-9-9—| *12
F# |———————–|
B |———————–|
C# |———————–|
G# |———————–|
E |———————–|
B |———————–| *4
F# |—7-7-7-7—7-7-7-7—|
B |———————–|
Again, alternating between the two notes but with a different rythm, as you can see.
At 02:07 it goes back to the starting rythm and stays that way until the end.
That’s basically it! Please e-mail me with improvements and/or suggestions etc…
I hope it’s correct – good luck!
