Come On The Verve
The Verve - Come on
("urban hymns")
transcribed by Matthew Buck (Standish Community High School)
Lead Guitar Parts ONLY. The chords you see here are not for
rhythm they are for the lead guitar to play. I have done
this transcription from past concerts and from the
track its self it sounds pretty cool.
Standard tuning....
define chords: (When required for the lead - not much)
These are not all the chords in the song...
they are just the ones the lead plays.
a=002220 or 577655 ... Recommended
b=x244xx or 799877 ... Recommended
It helps immensely if you have about a 1.25 sec delay on this bit,
reverb, full overdrive, heavy wah, guitar with full treble.
h - Hammer (does not matter much the lead is so distorted).
~ = Trill
\ = Slide Down
/ = Slide Up
^ = bend
Lead guitar over intro:
e:------------------------------------------ b:------------------------------------------ G:------------------------------------------ D:-11\7---9---------11\7--------7--9---7--9~ a:-----------7--9~--------7--9-------------- E:------------------------------------------
(You can play this further up the neck to get more treble but i
prefer it here).
I must be feeling low
I talked to god in a phonebox on my way home
I told you my answer, I left you my dreams on your answering machine
----chorus----
Wah and delay off. Every thing else still on though!

Come on
Come on ( for these 2 "come ons" just improvise with the high notes
of the last riff).
Come on...
e:-------------------------------------------------- b:-------------------------------------------------- G:-------------------------------------------------- D:-------------------------------------------------- a:-----7--9--7--9--7--9--7--9^--7--9^--5--7^-------- e:-------------------------------------------5--7~--
Interlude:
[B] [A]
play these two chords and then on a doss dd-* peddle
record this riff:
Essential Wahing
u = wah to full treble,
d = wah no treble (fully down)
[u] [d] [u]
e:------------------------------------------------------- b:-----9^----9---9^-------------------------------------- G:-----9^----9---9^-------------------------------------- D:-----9^----9---9^-------------------------------------- a:-----7-----7---7--------------------------------------- e:-------------------------------------------------------
Its very hard to transcribe since its the wah expression
which makes it do ace. Record it on infinite playback mode
on your pedal and let in go on and on until the outro.
If you get the timing right it will sound ace!
Wah all the time from now on!!!
There's only one life
e:------------------------------------------------------------ b:------10~--12^--10~--12^------------------------------------ G:-------------------------9--11~----------------------------- D:------------------------------------------------------------
There's only one life
e:------------------------------------------------------------ b:------10~--12^--10~--12^------------------------------------ G:-------------------------9h11~--9/11~----------------------- D:------------------------------------------------------------
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
For the "let it goes" play this riff:
String pick it very fast (only one note shown)
e:------------------------------------------ b:------10--12--10--12--12^--10~------------ G:------------------------------------------ D:------------------------------------------ Improvise....
This is a big....
F*ck you!
[B] [A]
This is a big....
F*ck you!
[B] [A]
Come on!
String pick it very fast (only one note shown)
e:------------------------------------------ b:------10--12--10--12--12^--10~------------ G:------------------------------------------ D:------------------------------------------ Improvise....
Come on now.....

Outro:
-------
This outro is improvised... I could not work it out.
Lots of delay anything up to 3 secs. + Wah
e:------------------------------------------------------- b:-------------------------------------10--12^--10~--12^- G:-----------7h9--7--9^--7--9^--9--11-------------------- D:-------7h9--------------------------------------------- a:---7h9------------------------------------------------- e:------------------------------------------------------- e:----------------------------- b:----------------------------- G:--9--11~--------------------- D:---------11\7--9------------- a:------------------7--9~------ e:----------------------------- X3
