Song : Arousing Thunder
Artist : Grant Lee Buffalo
Album : Copperopolis
Transcribed by : Geoffrey Nickles
For this song you will need to detune your guitar down
1/2 A step: Eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb
The intro of the song is D and Dsus4 with the
following riff played over the top it four times:
D Dsus4 D
e-----2-3--2---- X 4
b---3---------3-
g-2-------------
d---------------
a---------------
e---------------
Then the first verse starts
(with intro riffx2 played over the top)
Em G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Maybe the rain's holding off,
Em G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D (I'll just refer
Surely it knows, we're down here to this as
D riff now)
Em G D riff
Walking 'round barefoot lost
Em A
Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear
G D A
I know it's a lot
G D A
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
G D A
For a second so I could coax you to talk
(There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)
Em ^ D riff
Em G D riff
Think when we first layed eyes
Em G D riff
Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby
Em G D riff
You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but
Em A
You were still in school and I was insecure
G D A
I know it's a lot
G D A
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
G D A
For a second so I could coax you to talk
A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m D riff D riff
About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv, more....more
(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m
the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)
Em G D riff
Looks like the rains holding off
Em G D riff
Might as well take this slow
Em G D riff
You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close
Em A
Then I hear you talking to my soul
G D A
Well I know it ain't half
G D A
of this story I'm only meaning to ask
G D A D riff D riff D riff etc
Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh, To laugh To laugh
Em G D riff
Em G D riff
Em G D riff
Just play G over the following lines
What would it
What would it D
What would it take you to laugh?
Repeat the above twice, then
I'm not too sure on the ending but I'll give it a go
G Em
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
G Em
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
G Em D
Na na na na na na na
Then play D (plus the riff a few times) till
the end.
