The Tee Tot Song

tabbed by Dave Hancock We wanted it. We were patient. I got impatient. I gave it a go. I hope you all like it. Its not perfect, but its as close as I could get. Alternating bass, alternating bass, alternating bass... Ingrain it into your brain. Tuning : Open : To play with the recording. When I tabbed it my guitar was down a half step and I said . Thanks to Larry for pointing that out. I chose to tune down to Open instead of tuning up to Open E because I like my guitar and I want to keep it. Too much tension is bad for a guitar, especially acoustics. To tune to Open , start out in standard tuning (EADGBe). Then tune your E (bass string. It will sound the same but an octave lower(?). Then tune your e (high e) string down to match the string, but it will sound an octave higher. Then tune your string down to match the A string, again the pitch of the detuned string will be an octave (or 2) higher than the bass A string. Now tune the string (the original ). Shown below are the steps you take to re-tune in graphic form. The two notes shown in each step are the notes you are matching. Each step shows the note the strings are tuned at during the step. 1 2 3 4 E|----D|-0--D|-----D|----| B|----B|----A|-0---A|----| G|----G|----G|----F#|-0--| D|-0--D|-0--D|-----D|-4--| A|----A|----A|-0---A|----| D|-0--D|----D|-----D|----| All notes are relative to the capo. ls = long slide p = pulloff b = bend h = hammer on {Main theme} |----------7------7--------|-----9p7-----------9---------|---7------7-----------7---| |-ls9--------------0-------|-------0------------0-----8b-|--------------------------| |--------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------| |----------0-------------0-|------------0-------------0--|----------0-------------0-| |--------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------| |---0-------------0--------|-----0-------------0---------|---0-------------0--------| |---------------------7--|-----------7------7--------|---9p7------------9---------| |------------------------|--8s9--------------0-------|-----0-------------0-----8b-| |------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------| |--------0-------------0-|-----------0-------------0-|-----------0-------------0--| |------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------| |-0-------------0--------|----0-------------0--------|---0--------------0---------| |-0------0------------------|----0------0-----------0---| |--------------------0h2----|---------------------------| |---------------------------|---------------------------| |--------0-------------0----|-----------0-------------0-| |---------------------------|---------------------------| |-0-------------0-----------|----0-------------0--------| During the verses something similar to the following is played |------0----------0-| |-------------------| |-------------------| |------0----------0-| |-------------------| |-0---------0-------| good mourning Montgomery... |---------------------------| |-------------0-----0-----0-| |----0-----0----------------| x 3 |-3-----3--------0----------| |---------------------------| |----------------------0----| so glad, don't be sad... |---------------|----------------|----------------|--------------0-|--------0------2s4----0-| |---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------0--|-0h2--------------------| |-----1-------1-|------1-------1-|------1-------1-|------1---------|------------------------| |-----0-------0-|------0-------0-|------0-------0-|------0---------|--------0-------------0-| |-2-------2-----|--2-------2-----|--2-------2-----|--2-------2-----|------------------------| |---------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|-0-------------0--------| |--------0------2s4----0-|-----------0------2s4----0-|----0---------------0------| |-0h2--------------------|----0h2--------------------|---------------------------| |------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------| |--------0-------------0-|-----------0-------------0-|-----------0-------------0-| |------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------| |-0-------------0--------|----0-------------0--------|----0-------------0--------| repeat...
