----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLATURE: Van Halen - I'm the one from the album Van Halen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- h = hammer on w\ =dive whammy bar (wb) p = pull off w\/ =dive wb and pull up / = slide up 7b(9) = bend full step \ = slide down 7b(9)r(7) = bend full step and release ~ = vibrato T = tab with right hand {harm.} = play natural harmonics {A.H.} = play artificial harmonics (with thumb and pick) general advise for playing Ed's songs: pick, hammer on and pull off as hard as you can!
effects used: MXR Phase 90 If you think there's something to improve feel free to do so, I'll be happy to learn about it! Harald Boers h-boers@dds.dds.nl BTW, what is this song about!? was Dave drunk when he wrote the lyrics? :) e:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G:--------------------------5------------------------------------------------| D:------7-------5-------7---5---------7-------5-------7--------------7-------| A:0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-----0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-3~---0-0-0---0-0-0-| E:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B:--------------------5p0---------5p0----------------------------------------| G:------------0-5p0-------7-5p0-------7-5p0---5p0----------------------------| D:5-------7---------7-----------7-----------7-----7-5p0---7-5-0----------7---| A:--0-0-0---0-------------------------------------------7----------0-0-0---0-| E:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G:----------------5----------------------------------------------------------| D:----5-------7---5--------7-------5-------7-------------7-------5-------7---| A:0-0---0-0-0---0----0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-3~--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-| E:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-ha! { Harm. } e:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G:-5/-----7-------5w\/\/---8p7p5-------------0-8p7p5---------------2---0-8p7p| D:-5/-----------5----------------7-7-5-5h7~----------7-7-5-5-0---------------| A:----0-7-----5------------------------------------------------3-4-----------| E:----------5----------------------------------------------------------------| {A.H } e:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G:5-------------7b(9)-5-----------------0-8p7p5------------0-8p7p5-----------| D:--7-7-5-5h7~----------7-6-5-------------------7-7-5-5h7~---------7-7-5-5-0-| A:----------------------------7p6\5\3----------------------------------------| E:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Whoo!
