Title: Something About Us
Album: Discovery


Capo on the 5th fret
Tabbed this thanks to Schnoogles.

- the song is written in 4/4 time
- drop the second "B" string down one whole step to "A"
- raise the fifth "A" string up one whole step to "B"
- and drop the sixth "E" string down one whole step to "D"
(I hate to alter so many strings, but it really helps)

These notes are taken straight from the chords played on the piano, and evidently isn't
easy to play on guitar, which is probably why it's played on the piano:


Chords: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------2----0------------------5----3--------|
G|--------2----0----0----0--------2----1----4----2--------|
D|--------2----2----2----2--------2----2----5----5--------|
A|--------1----3----1----3--------1----3----5----5--------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

I couldn't find the names of all the chords so I just named them chords 1-8.


Intro:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Beat/bass comes in:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Use a wah-wah pedal to create the "wah-wah" effect. Sounds fine w/o it though.
(for the pedal, step down then up for each note/chord, except for the last riff where you
step down on the first chord, lift up on the second chord, then down/up for the last three.)
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|----7-9-10---9--10-12---10-12-14---14-12-12-10-10-------|
D|-------------10-12-14---12-14-15---15-14-14-12-12-------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

Wah Wah Wah:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

For the first four vocal lines just play the bass part:

Bb A D G
e|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---3x-------------2x--------------7x--------------0x-----|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3x---3x--------2x---2x--------7x----7x--------0x---0x--|


Bb A
It might not be the right time
D G
I might not be the right one
Bb A
But there's something about us I want to say
D G
Cause there's something between us anyway

Back to chords:

1 2
I might not be the right one
3 4
It might not be the right time
5 6
But there's something about us I've got to do
7 8
Some kind of secret I will share with you
1 2
I need you more than anything in my life
3 4
I want you more than anything in my life
5 6
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
7 8
I love you more than anyone in my life


Solo is made for this special tuning:
(if you want the solo in standard tuning just subtract 2 from every number on the B
and add 5 to every number on every string :)

e|-----------0---5-3--------0-------0----------------5-7--7-8-7---------0-3-0-0----------0--|
B|------3-5------------3-5---3-5-----5-5-3-3-----5h7------------10-7---3-------3-3---3-5----|
G|--0-2-------------------------------------2-0-2---------------------2-----------0-2-------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Solo repeat over chords:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 fade out........

This is my take on Daft Punk's Something About Us. I play it with my fingers,
(except the solo) but you could play with a pick too, just mute the unused
strings when playing the chords. I think it's pretty close to the recording.
Just repeat the rhythm parts the appropriate amount of times. There are subtle
changes between the chords in the intro, so be wary. Great song to play with a
loop pedal!

The solo just repeats until the song fades out. Here are the lyrics and chord
placements.


BbM7 Am7
It might not be the right time

Dm9 Gm
I might not be the right one

BbM7 A7
But there's something about us I want to say

Dm11 Gm7
Cause there's something between us anyway


BbM7 Am7
I might not be the right one

Dm9 Gm
It might not be the right time

BbM7 A7
But there's something about us I've got to do

Dm11 Gm7
Some kind of secret I will share with you


BbM7 Am7
I need you more than anything in my life

Dm9 Gm
I want you more than anything in my life

BbM7 A7
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life

Dm11 Gm7
I love you more than anyone in my life
