    Alright so I've seen the three or so tabs/chords on ultimate-guitar for this AMAZING
  • and I have to say, I am greatly disappointed in my virtual guitar-playing friends, or lack
    I really like the beat cause it's simple: acoustic guitar, bass, and piano, and not to
    real drums which you don't hear too often in today's "rap" and "hip-hop". That's
  • I like Kid Cudi. On his whole album, not a single song is like the others, nor are they
    they're all fresh and unique in their own way. I highly recommend "Man on the Moon: The
    of Day". And no, I'm not getting paid to say that. I just really like the
  • and I wish there was more like it these days. Oh well.
     
    I digress. Here's the tab. So easy, a caveman could play it. I don't see how all these
  • are so wrong, and that's the only reason I ever take the time to write out (type up?) a
    is if I see a song full of wrong submissions. Let the YouTube covers commence.
     
  • Intro guitar riff:
    e|--2---2-----0---0-----2---2-----3---2---0---|
    B|--3---3-----3---3-----3---3-----3---3---3---|
  • G|-(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)-(2)--|
    D|-(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)-(0)--|
    A|--------------------------------------------|
  • E|--------------------------------------------|
     
    e|--2---2---2----0----2---2-----2---2---0-----|
  • B|--3---3---3----3----3---3-----3---3---3-----|
    G|-(2)-(2)-(2)--(2)--(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)-(2)----|
    D|-(0)-(0)-(0)--(0)--(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)-(0)----|
  • A|--------------------------------------------|
    E|--------------------------------------------|
     
  • Yes, it's essentially an alternation between a D (xx0232), Dsus2 (xx0230), and Dsus4
    chord, except with just the top two strings being played. But you can play the full chord
    you want; it'll still sound the same. This riff is looped throughout most of the song.
  •  
    Chords for the whole song: A, Bm, D, G
     
  • A: x02220
    Bm: x24432
    D: xx0232
  • G: 320033
     
    Or if you wanna get funky, you can keep the 2nd fret on the E string down while playing
  • the chords. The Bm and D chord have this note (F#) naturally but the A and G chord
    So if you added it to them, it'd be something like this:
     
  • A13: x02222
    Bm: x24432
    D: xx0232
  • Gmaj7: 320032
     
    The Gmaj7 is tricky because it requires either really flexible fingers, or more fingers
  • you have. So what I do is I don't play the A string. I mute it with my middle finger
    playing the E string, and then use my freed up index finger to play the 2nd fret on the
    string. So you're supposed to end up with a free pinky, and you can do whatever your heart
  • with it.
     
    I'm not one to get all technical and type up the rhythm, although the rhythm for the
  • is pretty funky since a lot of the chords are played on the upbeat. So here's the verse &
    lyrics with the chords. The rhythm is similar to "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay.
    --
  • A
    Now when the sun come up,
    Bm
  • I'll be there to say what up in the morning
    D
    Brush my teeth,
  • G
    Find that clip I've been lookin for since last night,
    A
  • I feel so caught up, in a bud
    Bm
    I flow some round in my bedroom
  • D G
    Turn around, see myself in the mirror
     
  • I guess I'm cool and
    A
    No sappy thoughts in my head
  • Bm
    I'm feeling like I'm Peter Pan
    D
  • minus the tights in the first,
    G
    happy to see how far I've come to
  • A Bm
    the same place, think again, my dreams and imagination
    D G
  • perfectly at peace so I move along a bit higher
    A
    I'll be up up and away
  • Bm
    Up up and away
    D G
  • Cause they gon' judge me anyway so whatever
    A
    I'll be up up and away
  • Bm
    Up up and away
    D G
  • Cause in the end, they'll judge me anyway so whatever
     
    And it's the same progression throughout the whole song. A, Bm, D, G
  •  
    The guitar riff in the background of the chorus goes like this:
    e|-----------------------------------------|
  • B|--5-7-7-7--5-7-8-7~----5-7-7-7--5-7-7----|
    G|--------------------------------------4~-|
    D|-----------------------------------------|
  • A|-----------------------------------------|
    E|-----------------------------------------|
    I know you can play the same notes with the E string and B string, but I like the fuller
  • of playing it higher on the neck.
     
    There's also a little piano riff in the middle of the song. Here it is for the guitar:
  •  
    e|----------0------2-2-2-------------------|
    B|-2-2--2-3---3-3----------------3-0-0-0~--|
  • G|------------------------2-2-2------------|
    D|-----------------------------------------|
    A|-----------------------------------------|
  • E|-----------------------------------------|
     
    And the bass part, which is just the root notes of the guitar chords:
  • G|-------------------------------------------------------|
    D|-------------------------------------------------------|
    A|--0--0--0--0-2--2--2-2--2---5--5--5--5-----------------|
  • E|---------------------------------------3--3--3-3--3----|
    In the song, the bass actually sounds like it plays a lower D, which means that the bass
    either tuned to Drop-D or is just in Standard D. So if you want to play it EXACTLY like
  • song, I'd probably just tune the bottom E down to a D and play the open D instead of the
    on the 5th fret of the A string. Keep in mind that you'd also have to play the G up
    frets from 3 to 5 since you tuned the string down.
