Petrov Yelyena And Me Tab

Petrov Yelyena and Me
Flight of the Conchords
 
Tabbed by Sascha Antropov saschava@gmail.com
 
This is only meant to get you started
 
 
This is a great song to play around other people, while FoTC has become quite popular,
song remains mostly unknown. That being said there are a few things to know before
to learn this song:
 
Unlike most FoTC songs, this is a waltz and is played in 3/3 time signature, for those
of what that means think of every Chord as divided into 3 parts. 1st is the Bass, and 2nd
3rd are the rhythm, it sounds much better if you play the bass once, and the rhythm 4
for the sake of simplicity i have tabbed out only 2 beats of the rhythm.

   Me
 
 
This repeats one more time for the second verse.
 
Afterwards there's a dialogue between "Me" and Petrov, this is all played repeating over:
 
 
   A

|-----5--5|-----5--5|
|-----6--6|-----6--6|
|-----7--7|-----7--7|
|-----7--7|-----7--7|
|--5------|--0------|
 
 
When the dialogue is over everything is shifted up one fret for the next verse which is
F and D#, the fashion that this is played in is the same as before
 
   A#
