No Surprise- Daughtry
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: guitarhero_05
Difficulty: novice

Tuning: Drop D

Great song… pretty simple.
Song order of intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus 6x. I know it doesn’t play the
6x at the end but the guitar part of the chorus is played 6 times. Hope this is helpful.

Intro: Played 12x with a few variations in strumming pattern but it’s easy to figure
I use pedals to switch from the clean to the distortion when needed.

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------4---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------3---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-1--1---1---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-1--1---1---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-1--1---1---------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse: The three chords in a row are just quick down up down strokes. I will show the
with the first set of chords. Just do the same thing with the rest the chords I show.

e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------1----------1---------1----------1-1-1-------------------|
A|-------1----------1---------1----------1-1-1-------------------|
D|-1-1-1-1----1-1-1-1---1-1-1-1----1-1-1-1-1-1-------------------|

Use the same pattern as above for each set

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------8-------------10----------6----------3---------6----|
A|-------8-------------10----------6----------3---------6----|
D|-8-8-8-8----10-10-10-10----6-6-6-6----3-3-3-3---6-6-6-6----|

D|---1-------8------10------6-------8-------1------------------------------|

16x 16x 16x 8x 8x 1x

During chorus other guitar plays

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round

C#m
And now I think that I've got it all down

Not wrapping this in ribbons

Felt so good to let go of it now

Shouldn't have to give a reason why

E5
Our favorite place we used to go

B5
The warm embrace that no one knows

C#5
The loving look that's left your eyes

A5 B5 E5
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

E Bm
If I could see the future and how this plays out

I bet it's better than where we are now

A Bm
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

Chorus repeats

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows
