Sober Driver Dengue Fever
Song: Sober Driver
Band: Dengue Fever
Great song, fun song?to sing and to play?although it?s not all that well known.
Here?s what I?m hearing. It sounds 100% to me. Keep in mind, some parts are a bit tricky.
INTRO/INTERLUDE:
|---------------------------------------| |-------10-------9------8-----7-----6---| |-------10-------9------8-----7-----6---| |-11h12----10h11---9h10---8h9---7h8-----| x2 |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------|
VERSE (listen for rhythm):
(notes: SEGMENTS 1 & 2 played staccato. It means each note is very short.
They are also somewhat palm-muted.
SEGMENTS 3 & 4, meanwhile, are played more legato; they can ring.)
SEGMENT 1:
|---------------------------| |---------------------------| |--------9------------------| |-------10-----10-----------| x4 |-12---12---12----12-11-10--| |---------------------------|
SEGMENT 2:
|---------------------------| |---------------------------| |--------8------------------| |-------10-----10-----------| x2 |-12---12---12----12-11-10--| |---------------------------|
SEGMENT 3:
|-----------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------| |-------10-------10-------10-------10-------10--| |----12-------12-------12-------12-------12-----| |-12-------12-------12-------12-------12--------| |-----------------------------------------------|
SEGMENT 4:
|--------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------| |-------10-------10--------9-------9-------9-| |----12-------12-------------12------12------| |-11-------11-------11----------11------11---| |--------------------------------------------|
Then play through VERSE a second time. All four segments are the exact same,
except SEGMENT 3. For the second time through (EACH time the verse is played), SEGMENT 2
plays like this:
|------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |-------10-------10-------10--12--14--12--10-----| |----12-------12-------12---------------------12-| (then onto SEGMENT 4) |-12-------12-------12---------------------------| |------------------------------------------------|
CHORUS:
[Am]You call me up because I?m [C]sober and you wanted me to [F]drive[E]
[Am]I?m getting tired of being [C]treated as just a free [F]ride[E]
[Am]I?ve finally figured out that [C]you?re just a thorn in my [F]side[E]
(no chords)
That?s withered, dull and dry
Then VERSE (twice), then CHORUS again, then INTRO/INTERLUDE before VERSE run-
through (with no lyrics), and finally CHORUS once more.
End on Am.
