Dashboard Confessional es un grupo de música de origen estadounidense, liderado por el músico-compositor y guitarrista Chris Carrabba, originario de Boca Ratón (Florida).
En 1999 nace Dashboard Confessional como un proyecto solista-paralelo de Chris Carrabba, en el cual Chris tocaba la guitarra, cantaba y escribía todas las canciones.
Chris Carrabba grabó un par de cintas, entregadas una a su hermana y otra a su mejor amiga -Amy Fleisher-, quien trabajaba para Fiddler Records.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
I was looking at the other tabs, and the few that had it in the correct tuning, had it very difficult, and I don't think it's that hard. So I've created a tab complete with all the timing nad rhythms that sounds great (and is more correct than the others I believe) and is quite easy to play. Hope you like it, please enjoy.
==================================================================== |IF YOU JUST WANT THE WORDS AND THE CHORDS, SCROLL TO THE VERY BOTTOM| ====================================================================
*Play this chord only the 2nd time **the word is "screams" instead of "tells" the 2nd time
DADF#DD tuning, down 1/2 step, so low to high, the tuning is [Db-Ab-Db-F-Db-Db]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Key Key Key| +---+------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ^ | downbeat | | / | slide (move finger from 1st fret to 2nd w/o letting go) | |(#)| harmonic (barely touch string just above numbered fret and strum)| +---+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here is the timing for the Intro and the Verse. "/" represents a slide and "^" was placed under the downbeat (each "-" is a 32nd of the measure). Tempo is about a quarter note equals 90 Beat Per Measure.
(I have shortened the Chords names to better fit, so when seen below with the words, refer [D to D] (duh), [Dmaj7 to D7], [Bm/D to BD], [Dsus4 to D4], [Dadd2 to D2], and [2D is just a variation of D]):
NOTE: Where the fist letter of the chord is is about where the chord starts in relationship to the word(s). Get the strumming and timing down and listen to the song if you are struggling with where the words go, but this should really help.
DD7 BD D4DD2 2D I heard about your trip. DD7 BD D4DD2 2D I heard about your souvenirs. DD7 BD D4DD2 2D I heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights and the cool DD7 BD D4DD2 2D guys that you spent them with. DD7 DB D4DD2 2D I guess I should have heard of them from you. DD7 DB D4DD2 2D I guess I should have heard of them from you.
[Chorus]
NOTE: Once again, I have shortened chords, therefore, [D is still D], [Add4/E is AE], and [G/D is GD]: (for AE and GD, the low Db gives it a bad ring and doesn't sound good because it's a good amount away from any of the other notes)

[Verse]
Same rule of ryhtm apply as in Verse 1, but I've put in the words so you can see where they line up with the words:
DD7 BD D4DD2 2D I heard about your regrets. DD7 BD D4DD2 2D I heard that you were feeling sorry. DD7 BD D4DD2 2D I heard from someone that you wish you could DD7 BD D4DD2 2D set things right between us. DD7 DB D4DD2 2D Well, I guess I should have heard of them from you. DD7 DB D4DD2 2D I guess I should have heard of them from you.
NOTE: [DXII is DX], [Dmaj7 is D7], [D6 is D6], [A7sus4/D is A7D], [A/D is AD] Play every note hard and short. It's an easy and straight-forward rhthym. _____________________________________________________________________ | DX D7 | |Db+0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---+| |Db|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|| |F |12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--|12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--|| |Db|12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--|11--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|| |Ab|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|| |Db+0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---+| | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | D6 A7D AD | |Db+7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---|5---5---5---5---7---7---7---7---+| |Db|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|5---5---5---5---7---7---7---7---|| |F |8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---|8---8---8---8---7---7---7---7---|| |Db|9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---|5---5---5---5---7---7---7---7---|| |Ab|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|| |Db+0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---+| | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | |_____________________________________________________________________|x3.5
