Sorry, but that guy's tab isn't exactly right. Here's mine:
First of all, drop your guitar 1/2 step to Eb tuning, like this: (low
to high) Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb.
The verses use the same pattern of chords over and over. They are:
low to high
G - x-x-x-4-3-3 D - x-x-x-7-7-5 Am - x-x-x-5-5-5 C - x-x-x-5-5-3
For example:
Somebody[G] once told [D]me [D]the world was[Am] gonna roll [C]me
[C]I ain't the [G]sharpest tool [D]in [D]the shed[Am] [C] [C]
And so on. Listen to the song and you can figure out the rhythm. The
bass comes in just before the guitar chords do, so look at my bass tab that I'm
about to submit in a few minutes. The guitar plays these chords throughout the
Pre-Chorus, (when the drums come in) but then it all changes for the chorus.
Use these chords:
G5 - 3-5-5-x-x-x C5 - x-3-5-5-x-x C#mb5 - x-4-2-0-x-x ( C Sharp Minor Flat Fifth ) F5 - 1-3-3-x-x-x
[G5]hey now you're an [C5]all star get your [C#mb5]game on [C5]go play
[G5]hey now you're a [C5]rock star get the [C#mb5]show on [C5]get paid
[G5]And all that [C5]glitters is [C#mb5]gold, o[C5]nly shootin' [G5]stars [F5]break
the [G5]mold
And then the solo: ( I don't have my guitar with me right now, but I
think this is it. )
Eb----10-7-------6-7-6--5-3---------] Bb---------10-8---------------5-3---] Gb----------------------------------] Db----------------------------------] Ab----------------------------------] Eb----------------------------------]
Then for the last verse, improvise. Skip strings and pick something
out of these chords:
G - 3-2-0-0-0-3 D - x-x-0-2-3-2 Am7 - x-0-2-0-1-0 C - x-3-2-0-1-0
Hopefully this helps.
