APOCALYPSE DREAMS - Tame Impala
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tim van Kester
Tuning: D (whole step down)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All our dreams come true...
d|-5----------2-----------2----1--------6--|
A|-5----------2----1------3----1--------6--|
F|-6----------2----0------4----2--------7--|
C|-7----------4----2------4----3--------8--|
G|-7----------4----3------2----3--------8--|
D|-5----------2----------------1--------6--|
This one is just repeated a lot.

Just another day...
d|-8------------------8----------------3--|
A|-8--------10--------8--------10------3--|
F|-8--------10--------8--------10------4--|
C|-6--------10--------6--------10------5--|
G|-----------8------------------8------5--|
D|-------------------------------------3--|

Repeat everything several times, than the synth break with this guitar:
d|-----------5h7~---5h7--3~------------------------------------------------|
A|-3h5~--------------------------3-5-3-5-3---1---0-------3-5-5--3---5------|
F|---------------------------------------------------2---------------------|
C|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

'Well...'
d|-------5-7-5-7-5h7---3~--------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------3-5-3-5-3---1~--------------------------------|
F|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
C|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

'Does it even matter?' is accompanied by the first bar of chords again.

At the sudden change (3:00 mark), play the second bar again. There is also
the guitar/synth riff:
d|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
F|-12----8----7--5--7--8--10---7------5-----12----8----7--5--7--8--10----8--7|
C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

d|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
F|--7---5--7--8---8---7--5--7--8--10---7---8--7---5-----12----10----7--5--7--|
C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

d|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
F|-8--10~----(7~)--|
C|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|

After that, he
starts singing again. Play this:
d|-8----------8------------------|
A|-8----------8------------------|
F|-8----10----8----10---10---8---|
C|-6----10----6----10---10---8---|
G|-------8----------8----7---6---|
D|-------------------------------|

And another guitar/synth riff comes in. Not really sure though whether it should be
an octave higher or not.
d|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
F|-12-12--10-12--10--8~------5-5-5--7--8--10--12--10--8--8---8----5-----5/12-|
C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

d|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
F|-8-8--7-8--7--5~-|
C|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
