                             Cry Me A River - Lost Prophets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Artist: Lost Prophets
Title:  Cry Me A River
Tuning: Dropped D (DADGBe) Low to high
Tabber: a_guy_called_richard@hotmail.com
 
I met Lee Gaze in Cardiff the other week and he was great, so i
thought id come home and learn a load of Lost Prophets songs
but couldn't find any for this song, so i figured it out myself.
 
Intro: (Updated: 01 June 2004)
Pause slighty after the 8 on the very first part. You'll
need to listen to the song to hear what i mean. It only does
this in the Intro, you play the rest of the song as tabbed later.

yeah i was just about to suggest what toxicity said well here it is anyway cus he didnt lay it out great |-----------------------------------------------------------|x2 |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------11h13-| |----------11-13----14-13-11----14-13-11----14-13-11--------| |-11-13-14--------------------14----------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| its definatly played like this

in the solo i dont think you have enough notes for the first bit- it starts at about 3:09 and the pull off bit begins at 3:16 which is perfect i think. but there are just not enough notes to fill seven seconds there

I think some parts of the ace bass riff go: D 14 13 11 D 14 13 11 A 14 A As opposed to just ^^^^^^ with an extra B at the start of the riff... good stuff though!
