This Wasnt Supposed To Happen Tab

Song Title: This Wasn't Supposed To Happen
Artist: Army Of Anyone
Standard Tuning (w/ Capo at 4rth f/ Musical Interlude only)
 
 
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES:
The basic elements of the song the way it was actually performed are presented here.
 
One key element to the song is the Intro's C/G to Bb6sus4 slide that is used throughout the song.
Another key element that has been missed in the past is the fact the Interlude or Bridge is played
w/ a Capo at the 4rth fret. When Army of Anyone played this song live they eliminated the Interlude because
the guitarist only used one guitar and placing the Capo at the 4rth while performing the song would be very
difficult to say the least.
 
The Interlude can be played w/o a Capo but you lose the cool open string drone. I included the chord grips
that will allow a solo performance of the song w/o the use of a Capo.
 
Another hidden jem in the song are the ghost harmonics during the Pre Chorus. It is impossible to determine
the exact way they are laid down. Every time you listen to the song it seems they move around. This is
eveident by the many ways this part of the song has been tabbed over the years. Everyone hears something
different.
 
Enjoy!
