Excess Tab

Tricky - Excess
 
 
standard tuning
 
There is just one guitar and one guitar hook in this song.
It's played repeatedly from start to finish but takes
breaks during the third Instrumental and during the two
Bridges. I show those breaks on the song parts over the
lyrics below as (NO GUITAR). Every other song part includes
the guitar riff. It can be played in different positions,
of course, and I've provided those position options in
this tab. Choose the option that's easiest for you to play
or mix them up since they're the same notes in the same
register and timbre. The important thing is to play them
in the right timing to get that hypnotic Trip Hop feel.
Another person tried tabbing this and got both the riff
notes and the song title wrong.
 
 
Option 1:

G|--------------------------------------|
D|-----1---1---1-3-1-----1---1---1------|
A|-3-3---3---3-------3-3---3---3---3-1--|
E|--------------------------------------|
 
Option 2:
Same as Option 1 but capo the first fret and play
the first fret notes as open strings. Easiest.

I believe in eye deceivin'
 
Bob 'n weavin', I can breathe in
 
Make a wish in flower fishing
 
Moving vibration, mild relation
 
I'm jamaican on your radio station
 
Got a curse in, could be worse in
 
You first in a hearse in
 
Good as dead as nothing left in
 
Nothing left in, some might heading
 
I need a head rest in, feed from a warm breast
 
A man making hits with my child-bearing hips
 
Underground like, who's it sound like
 
You all sound the same but you don't know my name

I believe in people lying

I believe in people balking
 
I believe in people talking
 
I believe in people breathing
 
I believe in people being

[Bridge 1]         (NO GUITAR)
 
We all sound the same, you don't know my name
 
Rearrange and things don't change
 
Things remain, feel the strain
 
Stress, catch my breath
 
Get some rest, [?] (There'll be a new tale of he and I)
 
And from the mess, couldn't care less (In fact any time, every day)
 
Sugar cane is like a smack to my vein (Write fictional stories)
 
Shook fame, but I don't complain (If you want to, on the street)

I believe in different reasons
 
I believe in breath through seasons
 
I believe when snow flakes fall
 
I believe in buildings tall
 
I believe in people bombing
 
I believe in people warring
 
I believe diseases coming
 
I believe, that's why I'm running
 
 
Keep living
 
Keep living

[Bridge]           (NO GUITAR)
 
You've gotta ask before he attacks (There'll be a new tale of he and I)
 
You've got the flats, dub my sacks (In fact any time, every day)
 
You've got the city, move out the country (Writing fictional stories)
 
I'm scrunching friends that are punchy (If you want to, on the street)
