A More Perfect Union – Titus Andronicus
The rhythm guitar mostly does different variations of these 3 chords:
(writing them all down would be redundant…just listen to the song for reference.)
E|—————————————–|
B|—————————————–|
G|—————————————–|
D|——-10——-7——-3—————-|
A|——-10——-7——-3—————-|
E|——-8——–5——-5—————-|
The lead guitar is much more complicated:
(Part 1)
The first part comes around “cuz tramps like us, baby we were born to die!”
E|——————————————————|
B|——————————————————|
G|—12–15-15–12–15–12–15–12———————-|
D|———————————-15–15–15———-| x2
A|——————————————————|
E|——————————————————|
E|——————————————————|
B|——————————————————|
G|—12–15-15–12–15–12–15–12———————-|
D|———————————-15–15–15–12–9-9-|
A|——————————————————|
E|——————————————————|
E|——————————————————|
B|——————————————————|
G|—–9-12—12-12-12-12-9—————————–|
D|——————————————————|
A|——————————————————|
E|——————————————————|
Then rinse and repeat as needed. Again, listen to the song for reference. On the last
one…he holds that last 9 for a long time, then holds the 12 for a long time, then plays
the 12 again but bending it. Like thissss:
E|——————————————————|
B|——————————————————|
G|—–9~~~~~—–12~~~~~~—-12(bend)——————|
D|——————————————————|
A|——————————————————|
E|——————————————————|
(Part 2)
Comes directly after Part 1 (I just broke it up to make it nice and easy!)
E|———————|
B|———————|
G|———————|
D|—12–15-15-15——| x4
A|———————|
E|———————|
E|———————|
B|———————|
G|—12–15-15-15——|
D|———————| x4
A|———————|
E|———————|
Repeat those once, then move on to this:
E|———————|
B|———————|
G|———————|
D|—17–14-14-14——| x4
A|———————|
E|———————|
E|———————|
B|———————|
G|—17–14-14-14——|
D|———————| x4
A|———————|
E|———————|
Aaaand finish that part with this:
E|———————|
B|———————|
G|—17-14-17-14-17~~~-|
D|———————| x4
A|———————|
E|———————|
(Part 3)
Comes directly after Part 2…this is a bit more complicated though…
E|———————————————————|
B|———————————————————|
G|——-12—-12—-12-14———————————|
D|—14———–14——-12—–14–14–14–12–12/9—–|
A|—————————————————–12–|
E|———————————————————|
E|———————————————————|
B|———————————————————|
G|—-12–12–12—-12—-12(bend)————————-|
D|—————14—-14———-14~~~~~~~~~~~~———-|
A|———————————————————|
E|———————————————————|
Repeat those again.
(Part 4)
E|———————————————|
B|————-5~~~—5–5———————|
G|———–5————-7-5—————–|
D|—–5—7——————-7~~~~———–|
A|———————————————|
E|———————————————|
E|———————————————|
B|——————————-12-12-12——|
G|—–7–7–7-5-7-9—7—–11———–11—|
D|———————–9———————|
A|———————————————|
E|———————————————|
Then the song slows down a little…
E|———————————————|
B|———————————————|
G|—–7–7–7-5-7-9—7———————–|
D|———————–9/10~~~~~————-|
A|———————————————|
E|———————————————|
(Part 5)
Very long solo…you can just play rhythm over this. Once it’s over, play Part 1, then
move on to Part 6!
(Part 6)
Ends like this:
E|———————————|
B|———————————|
G|————-12~~~~~–12~~~~~~~~-|
D|—9~~~~~~———————–|
A|———————————|
E|———————————|
And that’s all! If you know this, you know the majority of the song!
