Juliana Theory, The - We're At the Top of the World

"We're at the Top of the World"

This is a rather different way to play this song, so bear with it. There
are several guitars.It's very cohesive whatever it is...like it's just one
guitar playing. But that's bogus. Modern mixing and recording marvel no doubt.

At any rate...this one is in drop d (dadgbe)

Here I present to you the first two verse parts:

We'll just call this one "guitar 1":

e------------------------|
B------------------------|
G------------------------|
D-3--3-3/5--5-5/7--7--10-|
A-1--1-1/3--3-3/5--5--8--|
D---------------------7--|

and at the same time we have "guitar 2":

e------------------------|
B------------------------|
G-7--7-7/9--9-9/10-10----|
D-x--x-x-x--x-x-x--x--10-|
A-8--8-8-8--8-8-8--8--8--|
D---------------------7--|

Alright, chorus is sorta like this (~'s are indicative of strumming):

e---------------------|
B-5~~~~6~~~~6~~~~3~~~~|
G-5~~~~5~~~~7~~~~3~~~~| 
D-5~~~~3~~~~7~~~~3~~~~|
A-3~~~~3~~~~5~~~~1~~~~|
D-----(3)~~~----------|

the second guitar is playing some octaves I think, but I'm too lazy to
figure it out. Just think of what notes are in the F major scale and make
em into octaves. It's too messy for me to hear now and it's late.

Then the quieter bit, or the "bridge":

guitar 1:

e-----------------------------|
B----3------5------6----------|
G------3------5------7----5---|
D--3------5------7------3---3-|
A-1------3------5------0------|
D-----------------------------|

then guitar 2 comes in while 1 still plays above sequence:

e-------------------------0---|
B--1/3---3/5-----5/6----6--6--|
G---------------------------5-| 2x's clean
D-----------------------------|
A-----------------------------|
D-----------------------------|

Bridge 2 
lead plays this while rythmn guitar plays verse thingy

#'s in parentheses () denote another 
guitar's presence (It's like Boston man!). 
Either that or I'm just hearing the harmonic in 
the distortion. Anyway...it's outta control!

e-----------------------------|
B-----------------(8/10-7-5-4)|
G(3)(3)-(5)--(7)--------------|
D(0)-0-0--2-2--3-3-5/7--5-3-2-| distorted 
A-1--1-1/3-3--5-5-------------|
D-----------------------------|

and the finishing lead

e--------------------------------|
B--------------------------------|
G--3--3-3-2-------3--3-3-2-0-3/5-|
D-----------5--3-----------------|
A--------------------------------|
D--------------------------------|

Alright, that's it for now. To be true to my original word, this tab is
for two guitars. However, I'm sure you've noticed at least three. So,
during the part 2 of the bridge you could theoretically just play the
"guitar 2" part of the verse progression and the lead as it is written
while the bass chugs along.

G-------------------------|
D---------2---3-5/7-5-3-2-|
A-1--1-1/3-3/5-5----------| 
D-------------------------|

I'm no bassist, but that's what he's doing. It's the main thing on the
verse and bridge.

Okay, that's about it. There are three guitars for sure in this 
song and most-likely four, so sorry if it's confusing. 
It's not that hard to play though! Sorry, no lyrics (but who'd wanna 
sing this anyway? It's too stinkin' high! Everything on this cd is!)
