<< STANDARD TUNING >>> Another song from musical comedy duo, Ylvis! Once again, they use some very interesting chords progressions and transitions. I was originally going to make this tab with the guitar tuned down half a step so you can hit the low Eb (D#) note during the verse chords, but I think most people would prefer a standard tuning version. Regardless, I have included a Bonus Intro section at the bottom of the tab for those feeling ambitious enough to play it a half step down. ;) There are a lot of subtle chord variations throughtout the songs (like sus2 sus4 6 maj7b5). You can always simplify the chord and use a regular major/minor chord if you find them to be too cumbersome. As always, listen to the song while playing with the tab to get the timing down! CHORDS USED IN INTRO AND VERSES Gsus2 (3xx233) (3xx033) D#maj7b5 (xx1233) ------------- **If you want an easier variation, just use Gm and D#maj7 for intro and verses** (Or you can omit using the G5 and D#maj7*) ------------ Stonehenge - Ylvis INTRO | Gsus2 | Gsus2 | | maj7b5 | maj7b5 * | VERSE 1 My life is so successful I've got everything a man could D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj7 D#maj7b5 D#maj * ever need. Got a 1000 dollar haircut And I even have a talk show on TV And I know I should be happy, but instead There's a question I can't get out of my head. CHORUS 1 **Easier Variation: Substitute for and for (1x3231) (x6878x) What's the meaning of Stonehenge? It's killing me that no one knows Why it was built 5000 years ago. Why did they build the Stonehenge? How could they raise the stones so high Completely without the technology We have today? VERSE 2 When I make my jalapeños Calamari and prosciutto I'm the king! My wife applauds me in the kitchen When I tell her all I bought is from the local store And when the kids have gone to bed, we're all alone She gives me a smile Then she plays with my balls CHORUS 2 All I think of is Stonehenge I think about it when I dream The biggest henge that I have ever seen What's the purpose of Stonehenge? A giant granite birthday cake Or a prison far too easy to escape? BRIDGE (technically starts with the G on "escape?") Stonehenge! Stonehenge! Lots of stones in a row! They were 25 tons each stone, my friend But amazingly they got them all down in the sand And they moved it (Stonehenge!) And they dragged it (Stonehenge!) And they rolled it 46 miles from Wales! CHORUS 3 What's the deal with Stonehenge? You should have left a tiny hint When you made this fucking labyrinth, of stone! (Who the...) Who the fuck builds a Stonehenge? (fuck builds a Stonehenge?) Two Stone Age-guys wondering what to do Who just said: "Dude, let's build a henge or two!" OUTRO **Chords in () are optional but compliment the voicing of the song** I would give anything to know About the Stonehenge Yeah, I would give all I have to give Would you give them your car? Mmm Are you kidding me, of course I would have given the car What car do you drive? Drive Civic, drive Civic. Drive Civic! A car you can trust! Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge What henge is that again? It's the Stonehenge, it's the Stonehenge! God, it is the greatest henge of all! What's the meaning of Stone-henge?! ------------ There's the tab! As you can see they use all sorts of music tricks by using chords from different keys. You can make some of the chords more complex to better match the piano if you'd like, though the chords I used above should provide just enough flavor making the song overly difficult. <<**BONUS SECTION**>> Tune guitar half a step down and play the following for the intro (let the notes ring): |------------| Gb|--4----4-----3----3-----4----4----3---------4----4----3----3----4-----4----3-------| |----------6------------6------------6--| Eb|--4------------4------------0------------0------------| Then play the rest of the song as normal but shift each chord one half step up (one fret).
