Tabs: Never Let You Go, by Third Eye Blind, transcribed by Matt
Veneklase.

I know this has already been tabbed out three times but none
of them have been completely accurate or even complete. I tried
to put as much information into this as possible; since its hard
to figure out timing from tab I include the counting above the tab.
If you compare this to the CD it is very accurate, so please do
before e-mailing me with any corrections.

x= play muted string.
\= slide down.
/= slide up.
()= These have two meanings:
9/(11)= don't pick the 11 after sliding up from 9.
9 (9)= pick 1st note and let it sustain through
the beat where it appears again in ().

Chords used:
E5- x79xxx, xx99xx
B5- 79xxxx, x99xxx
A5- 57xxxx
C5- x1111xxxx
(that's 2 11's)

This song is in the key of E. The main riff is a I-V-IV progression
using power chords (5th intervals). It needs two guitars. In this
tab Guitar One has single coils and some distortion; Guitar Two has
humbuckers and heavy distortion.

Guitar One: Part 1:
Neck single coil.

Guitar 1: Part 5:
Neck single coil.
To play this real smooth, barr the A and E strings
at the 7th fret with your index finger. Place your ring
finger at the 9th fret on the A string, and your pinky (pimky
is a funny word) at the 9th fret on the D string. To change
chords just lift up your ring finger.

Standard Tuning, have fun this is the best song! written by Stephan Jenkins


[Intro] (and verse) Courds go like this:
e---------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------| Guitar 1 plays that throughout the verse.
D--9--------------9---------------------|
A--7--9--7-7------7--9--7-7-7-----------|
E------7--5-5----------7--5- 5-5--------|

Intro (and verse) riff goes like this:
e---------------------------------|
B--7h9-7---------7h9-7------------|
G----------9-6------------9-6--4--| Guitar 2 plays that at certain times during vese along
D---------------------------------| with Guitar 1's Chourds.
A---------------------------------|
E---------------------------------|

Reapeat intro verse throuought the verse.
When Stephan Starts sayin "I'll Never Let You Go" over and over again Guitar 2 has a
riff and it plays untill the Chorus:

e-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------|
D--9-9----9-9-----------------|
A-----------------------------|
E-------7-------7-5-5---------|

Then after Stephan stops saying "I'll Never Let You Go" it goes into the Chorus:

e-----------------------------|
B--------------10-10-10--9----|
G-------------- 9---9--9---9--| Guitars 1 and 2 play this.
D--9-----------7---7--7---9---|
A--7--9-9------------------7--|
E------7-7--------------------|

Then it goes back into the verse. ( "Well you say that I changed, well maybe i did")
the verse just reapeats what it did before way up there^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When Stephan Starts sayin "I'll Never Let You Go" the guitar 2 riff starts again.

And then it goes back into the chorus. and the chorus reapeats itself.

Then there is 1 segment of the verse.


Then the [bridge:]

e-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------2-2-2----------------------- Guitar 1-|
D--6-6-6--4-4-4--2-2-2--0-2-2-2-----------------------------------------|
A--7-7-7--6-6-6--4-4-4--0-----------------------------------------------|
E******************************************

Guitar 2 comes in, in the bridge when Stephan says, "and all the time goes on" and it is
this:

e-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G--11b^--11-11h13--11 Do the bend nice and slow. Guitar 2-|
D-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------|

Then it is Guitar 1 (With More Distortion than usual) Playin the intro riff alone:

e-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D--9--------------9---------------- Guitar 1-|
A--7--9--7-7------7--9--7-7-7-------------------------------|
E------7--5-5----------7--5-5-5-----------------------------|

Then the instruments come back in and play the verse.
but short after there is an arpeggio. Use this chord over and over to step up to it.:

e---------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------|
A--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7---------|
E--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5---------|

Just improvise on the arpeggio, the chourds are:

G: Cadd9: D:

e--3 e--3 e--2-|
B--3 B--3 B--3---|
G---- G--- G--2--|
D---- D--2 D-----|

E--3 E*** E***

Then The chorus comes back in.

and the song ends with the Guitar 1 riff from the verse.


LYRICS!!!

Never Let You Go

There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

You say that I've changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

And our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no
You don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
She's like a sunburn
