MA PETIT MORT by Karma To Burn From the album Karma To Burn Tabbed by Ian Nault (slavemachine@hotmail.com, www.geocities.com/slvmachine) This is one amazing song. When listened to it sounds rather complicated but actually it's easier than it sounds. Again, the best way to play a tab is to listen to the song while playing to figure out timing (which is the one thing tabs don't show that well). Verse B is kinda wierd, but as always if you listen to the song, you'll get it. Drop D p=pull off h=hammer on /=slide up \=slide down b=bend (half note unless otherwise specified. Here's how the song goes: Intro Verse A x2 Chorus Chorus End x2 Verse A x2 Chorus Chorus End Verse B (look at tab to see timing for this part) Ending Intro/Verse A: The intro is muffled or quiet or something like that. As for the sound right at the beginning, just screw around and try to find something that sounds like it. ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-----3--0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-3/5b5- 0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-3/5----0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0------- 0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0--------0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-----3--0h3-0-0-3-0-0-0---0-3/5-6p5-3- 0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-3/5----0h3-0-0-3-0-0-0---0-3/5-6p5-3- 0h3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0--------0h3-0-0-3-0-0-0---0-3/5-6p5-3- Chorus: *=Play as double notes (play twice quickly, once on strum down and once on strum up) --------------------------------------------------------- *--*-------------*--*--*--*------------------------------ 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5------------------------------ 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5--0--12-0-10\7-0-6--6-6-6-5-3- 7--7--7/8--8 \3--3--3--3--3--0--12-0-10\7-0-6--6-6-6-5-3- -----------------------------0--12-0-10\7-0-6--6-6-6-5-3- ------------------------------------------------------------- *--*-------------*--*--*--*---------------------------------- 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5--7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7- 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5--7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7- 7--7--7/8--8 \3--3--3--3--3--5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5- -----------------------------0-0-0-0-0-X-X-0-0-0-0-0-0-X-X--- --------------------------------------------------------- *--*-------------*--*--*--*------------------------------ 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5------------------------------ 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5--0--12-0-10\7-0-6--6-6-6-5-3- 7--7--7/8--8 \3--3--3--3--3--0--12-0-10\7-0-6--6-6-6-5-3- -----------------------------0--12-0-10\7-0-6--6-6-6-5-3- ---------------------------- *--*-------------*--*--*--*- 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5- 9--9--9/10-10\5--5--5--5--5- 7--7--7/8--8 \3--3--3--3--3- ---------------------------- Chorus End: ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7p5-0-7p5-0-7b7- < End bit is played really fast 7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7----------------- < and the final bend is whole 5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5----------------- < note, not a half (listen to 0-0-0-0-0-X-X-0-0-0-0-0-0-X-X-0-0-0-0-0-0-X-X-0----------------- < the song to hear it) --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- 7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X------------ 7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-6--5-3-0-3- 5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-X-6--5-3-0-3- 0-0-0-0-0-X-X-0-0-0-0-0-0-X-X-0-0-0-0-0-0-X-X-6--5-3-0-3- Verse B (Quiet Bit): Guitar 1: This part is repeated throughout the whole Verse B (minus the open D chord, that's only at the beginning). After the open chord rings, the little riff is played, follow by the three notes that are played in a random order, then the little riff, three notes, etc. till the end of Verse B. The timing (the way I counted it) is: Open chord lasts for 16 beats, the little riff/three random notes is 8 beats and is played 14 times. -- ------------- --- ------------- -- --1/3------3- ------------- 0- for a while, ------------- in a random order> --- ------------- 0- then play this> ------------- --- ------------- Guitar 2: This comes after guitar one plays it's repeat 6 times.
