Author/Artist: Thide Eye Blind Title: Scattered Album: Unreleased Transcribed by: Thomas Dillard Email: cerberus_327@yahoo.com Here is the way that I play Scattered by myself acousticly. I've listened to the 95 RR Demo, Pre 97 Demo, 99 Demo, and the Live version from the fan gathering for this tab, and basically took the parts that were most prominent/ the parts I liked. The bridge where the lyrics say "No one is fooling anyone" might be off, but the part I wrote fits. The alternate riffs are played only in the 99 demo. I included them because they sound good. There is another guitar part over the "Cause I always laugh when I'm hurting" part, but I don't play it when I am playing this song alone. I chose to use open position chords, but the 99 demo use bar chords(There is another tab out there that shows this). I think open position chords sound better when played acousticly. Listen to the song to get the rhythm. Edit: Changed the Intro and Outro. I recently realized that the Implied chord is F instead of C. I believe that this is now more acurate. Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Intro C F G F G F G |-----0-------0---|-----------------|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---| |---1-------1-----|-------0h1--p0---|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----| |-------0-------0-|-----------------|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-| |---------3-------|-----------------|-3---------------|-3---------------| |-3---------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-3---------------|---------3-------|---------3-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1(+ 2)+ 3(+)4(+) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1st Verse F G F G F G F |----0--------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---| |--1--------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----| |------0--------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-| |-3---------------|-3---------------|-3---------------|-3-------2-------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------|-----------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Alternate Riff 1 F G F G F G F Am |-------------3-0-|-------------3-0-|-------------3-0-|-----------------| |-----1-0---0-----|-----1-0---0-----|-----1-0---0-----|-----1-------1---| |---2-------------|---2-------------|---2-------------|---2---2---2---2-| |-3---------------|-3---------------|-3---------------|-3-------2-------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------|-----------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + F G F G F G F Am |----0--------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0---| |--1--------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-----| |------0--------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-| |-3---------------|-3---------------|-3---------------|-3-------2-------|-2-------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------| |---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------|-----------------|---------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + Alternate Riff 2 F G F G F G F Am |-------------3-0-|-------------3-0-|-------------3-0-|-----------------|---------| |-----1-----0-----|-----1-----0-----|-----1-----0-----|-----1-------1---|-----1---| |---2---0---------|---2---0---------|---2---0---------|---2---2---2---2-|---2---2-| |-3---------------|-3---------------|-3---------------|-3-------2-------|-2-------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------| |---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------|-----------------|---------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + F G F G F G F G |-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---| |---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----| |-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-| |-3---------------|-3---------------|-3---------------|-3---------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (If using alternate riff, riff two goes here) F G F G F G F G |-----0-------0---|-----0---3-------|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---| |---1-------1-----|---1-----3-------|---1-------1-----|---1-------1-----| |-------0-------0-|-------0-0-------|-------0-------0-|-------0-------0-| |-3---------------|-3-------0-------|-3---------------|-3---------------| |-----------------|---------2-------|-----------------|-----------------| |---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------|---------3-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + F G |-----0-----------|---3---3---3---3| |---1-------------|---3---3---3---3| |-------0---------|---0---0---0---0| |-3-------3-------|---0---0---0---0| |-----------------|---2---2---2---2| |-----------------|---3---3---3---3| 1 + 2 + 3(+ 4 +) 1 e + a 2 e + a Chords : F G F G When I was punk I was way more punk than you F G What happened to our little tribe F G On the tombstone we'll inscribe F G F And I, I didn't know my friends would leave me too Am N.C.
