Song: Always Somewhere (LIVE IN CONCERT-USA)
Band: Scorpions
Tabbed by: Subodh Pun
This is the live unplugged version of the song performed by the band itself
in USA in 1998. I am not going to tabulate the Intro of the song cuz it's
quite similar to the Intro of the plugged one and I am not going to write
the lyric of the song as well. I am just gonna write the tablature of the
solos.
Acoustic guitar is used.

First off, there are no double digit fret numbers, so any that you see mashed together are single digits in actuality. I've tried to put some concept of time in by leaving space where a note is carried. If you use each character space as half a beat (4/4), it should work out about right (except at the ends of lines).
Here's how to put the parts together:
[Intro]
AAAAAB
[Verse 1]
ABAB
Arrive at seven, the place feels good No time to call you today Encores till eleven then Chinese food Back to the hotel again
Small Solo Break AB
[Verse 2]
ABAB
I call your number, the line ain't free I'd like to tell you come to me And life without you seems like a lost dream Love, I can tell you how I feel
[Chorus]
Always somewhere Miss you where I've been I'll be back to love you again (2x)
Long Solo Break AAAA
[Verse 3]
ABAB
Another morning, another place The only day off is far away But every city has seen me in the end And brings me to you again
[Chorus]
Outtro AA -- Note that the last couple of notes are played differently (arpegiate a C9 chord I think - e --- b -3- g -0- d -2- a -3- e ---)
Note: The main effects used seem to be chorus on the verse parts (A & B) and heavy distortion on the choruses.
Please let me know if there are any errors, etc.
Enjoy,
Main Solo
the version of this song at the Nevada archive contains only the tab for the rythym parts of this excellent song.
this is the main solo break, which comes after the first chorus.
I have not tabbed up the shorter breaks over the intro, between the first two verses, or over the finale.
|------------------------------------------12----12----------| |-------------------------------13~------------------10~~~~~~| |-----------12-b-(14)-r-12-----------------------------------| |-----12-----------------------------------------------------| |-8h10-------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| ^^^^^^ \_These three played fast...
All 4 measures are equal length (I believe), and the spacing of notes shown is a rough indicator of the rythym, although for more accuracy, refer to the record. This is a very rythmic, flowing solo, and keeping close to the feel of the original is important in making it sound good.
Symbols used:
12b(13) = start with 12th fret, and bend up to pitch of 13th fret. \ = slide down ~ = vibrato (very slight in this solo) 8h10 = pick while fretted at 8th, hammer on to 10th. (14)r12 = after bending to 14th, release to pitch of 12th (ie normal pitch)

Hi, guys this is my first tabbed song. I'm really happy I could do this since I'm only 17. The reason I'm doing this is because some ass-hole has tabbed the solo of this song and is claiming it to be perfect which it isn't. Secondly I've tabbed the song in its entirety. So you don't have to look elsewhere for the chords, the lyrics, the solos etc. (yeah! this means solos and chords included!) I expect you guys to give me your full support and rate this song as soon as possible. So here we go now----
This is the first part of the song, the rhythm part that is played by Rudolf Schenker. Thanks to Jeff Roush (roush@stortek.com) for the first and second rhythm part. We'll call the first part "A" and the second part "B" There are no double-digit nos. here.
This part consists of the intro. Only this part is played in the intro, not the B part.
This is the Mathias Jabs part: -
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-5b-3b-1p0-0-1----5-3-10sus------------------------------------------------| G|---------------2-----------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| The last note on the B string at the 10th fret should be sustained.
This part of the rhythm comes only in the verses (except for once in the intro). So this is how the rhythm goes: - 1) Part A twice without drums 2) Part A twice with drums 3) Part A once with solo 1 4) Part B once with end of solo followed by Klaus Meine singing
For the verses play part "A" first followed by part "B" repeat the pattern till the chorus
These are the lyrics of the song: -
Arrive at seven, the place feels good No time to call you today. Encores at eleven, then Chinese food, Back to the hotel again.
[Solo 2]
by Mathias Jabs: e|-15p13-12-13p12-10-----------------15p13-12-13p12-10-17-15h17-15-12h13-12--| B|-------------------10-12-13-12-10b-----------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Some of you'll might prefer sliding down the ---15p13-12-13p12-10part. It's a good idea, but it won't sound perfect. That's why I prefer to pull-off. After this part comes the second verse: - I call your number; the line ain't free, I'd like to tell you, come to me. And life without you seems like a lost dream. Love I can tell you how I feel.
Keep alternating with the rhythm part (Part A & Part B)
These are the power chords for the chorus. They're pretty good but I wonder if it'll sound good on an acoustic guitar.
The lyrics of the chorus are: - Always somewhere Miss you where I've been. I'll be back to love you again. (Repeat again)
Now comes the solo part. For this Rudolf Schenker keeps playing only the first rhythm part (Part A) throughout the solo. This is the Mathias Jabs part: -
This ends the main solo (whew!). This tab is more than accurate. The pull-off's slides etc. are all perfect and will help you get the same sound. But you'll have to listen to the song to get the timing right. Also please note that all numbers are double digit except the open string, which is marked as "0". The last note (10 on the B string) has to be sustained till the singing begins.
[Verse 3]
Another morning, another place The only day off is far away. But every city has seen me in the end And brings me to you again.
[Chorus]
Always somewhere Miss you where I've been. I'll be back to love you again. Always somewhere Miss you where I've been. I'll be back to love you again, Ooh ooh.
[Solo]
Then comes the small solo part for the CODA (the ending or outro for the ignorant). For this part Rudolf Schenker plays the A part twice. The solo that Mathias Jabs plays is somewhat related to the first solo. There is some kind of distortion pedal used that makes the guitar sound like electric sparks flying. So you can't hear the solo clearly. But it's okay of you don't play it. You need to play the rhythm part with another guitarist simultaneously and slow down in the end. But for all those perfectionists here it is
To play this last part you'll have to refer to the song. I've left out the timing since it's quite hard to put down. I've separated both the parts by double lines. The first part is the A part of the rhythm and the second is the second time it is played. As I said before I've left out the timing so don't think that the timing is perfect. If you don't get the part then play the rhythm part with another guitarist with a bit of distortion and end it slowly. The song ends on A minor.
[Verse]
C G F G Am Arrive at seven the place feels good C G Am No time to call you today. C G F G Am Encores at eleven then Chinese food C G Am Back to the hotel again.
[Chorus]
C G Always somewhere Am Miss you where I've been F G C G I'll be back to love you again. C G Always somewhere Am Miss you where I've been F G C G I'll be back to love you again.
The lovedrive version is almost the same with the acoustica but differs
in the solo. So the intro is the same,but in the acoustica version
the second guitar doesn't play the solo indicated.So here it is:
^(1)=bend up one step
^(1)^=bend up one step and release
=hammer-on
