River Of Deceit Tab By Mad Season

Transcribed by Bracken K Rogers (rbracke@okstate.edu)

There are only two basic chords in the whole song- 
  
   E A D G B e
F: 0 3 3 2 1 1(sometimes open)
G: 3 2 0 0 3 3

Not too difficult, you just have to figure out the strumming...

Intro:

-------------------------------------------------------- 
--3---3h5p3--3--0-----------------------------0----0---- 
--0----------------4p2p0---2---2s4s2p0---2----0----0----   Repeat 3x
----------------------------------------------0h2--2----
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------

This is basically the same as the first tab at OLGA, so you can use that 
one if this one confuses you...

Now this (whatever you call it):
  F         G
--1---------3---3------
--2---2-----3---3------
--3-----2---0---0------   Strum freely, listen to the song. 
--3---------0---0------
------------2---2------
------------3---3------

Now this is played throughout the entire song:
  F      G   ?
---------3---2--;--3-------------------
--1------3---3--;--3--3h5p3-3----------
--2p0----0---0--;--0-----------4s2p0---  This fill is only played in the
--3------0---0--;--0-------------------  second verse, and not all the
----------------;--3-------------------  time.
----------------;--2-------------------

Just listen to the song for the strumming.

Verse:This is where I've seen the majority of the screw ups, here's how
      McCready plays it on the video tape.

--3------5------8--8--8p7--7--8p7--7--8-------------
--3------5------8--8--8----8--8----8--8-------------
--0------0------0--0--0----0--0----0--0-------------
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

The rhythm might be hard to follow, but you can pick that up also.
