Giants (Sponge)

		
TUNING: Down 1/2 step  
OWWEE!! This hurts to play for a long time if your hands aren't as big  
theirs!  
This, here, is the Intro riff, and it's also used in the verses. For the into  
play it one time with the first guitar, then add the second guitar. They use  
some kind of chorus or flanging effect here. Chorus works fine for me.

E:---------------------]  
 
Play this until the prechorus, where he says,"'cause nobody's losin'", at  
which point you play:  
 
[e:--------------------------2---2---2-2--2-2--2--2--  
B:-5---5---5-5--5-5--5--5---3---3---3-3--3-3--3--3--  
G:-6---6---6-6--6-6--6--6---4---4---4-4--4-4--4--4-- } Play 3x  
D:-7---7---7-7--7-7--7--7---5---5---5-5--5-5--5--5--  
A:-4---4---4-4--4-4--4--4---2---2---2-2--2-2--2--2--  
E:--------------------------------------------------]  
 
Now you play this when he says,"It's like giants falling down."

 *  
Right about where the asterisk is, the lead guitar comes in with the pickup  
riff show below (with distortion), and continues on with a riff similar to  
the Intro/verse riff.

The 2nd verse is the same riff as the first verse, only you drop the last  
note or two in each measure.  
After the second chorus, there's a bridge that is similar to the verse riff  
shifted up two frets.

B:-------6-----7---6------------------8------- This last measure is  
G:------------------------------6------------- unique and I couldn't  
D:----7------7----------------------7--------- come up with the exact  
A:---------------------------7---------------- chord, so this is just  
E:-9----------------------5------------------- a guess.]  
 
Other these eight measures another guitar plays:

After it goes back to the prechorus and chorus, there's a solo over the verse  
riff with heavy wah-wah effects. I suppose if I listened to it long enough  
I could take a crack at it but I can't do that right now. Just find some  
scale and stomp the wah-wah.  
The outro is a series of chords that fades out. To play them just take the  
same shapes you used in the Intro and strum the strings like this:

Did you notice? I wrote again  
Did you notice? I lost a new pair of boots  
Did you notice? I felt him bad again  
She says it's nothing new  
'cause nobody's losin'  
Yeah, yeah, yeah  
Nobody's losin'  
Yeah, yeah, yeah  
Nobody's losin'  
Yeah, yeah, yeah  
It's like giants falling down  
You think I'll notice? She came in late again  
You think I'll notice? She's wearing a blue (dress too?)  
You think I'll notice? She wore it every day  
She says it's nothing new
