Ohm Tab

Artist: Yo La Tengo
Album: Fade (release date: January 15, 2013)
Song: Ohm
 
Tuning: Open D (DADF#Ad)
 
Essentially, this whole song is composed of the following progression:
 
|d---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|A---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|F#--0-0---0-0-0-0-1-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-1-0---|
|D---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|A---0-0---0-0-0-0-2-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-2-0---|
|D---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
 
And, well, that's it! The only other thing I could mention is that if you want to start
the song off more quietly, you can play the following melody (I've seen YLT play this in
some of their acoustic shows):
 
|d------------------------------|
|A------------------------------|
|F#-----------------------------|
|D------------------------------|
|A---5-5--0-2-0---5-5---0-2-0---|
|D------------------------------|
 
Other than that, there's the solo, but, as usual, it's pretty hectic, so submit it if
you think you might have it!
 
Sometimes the bad guys come out on top,
Sometimes the good guys lose
We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds
 
Sometimes the bad days retain their grip,
Sometimes the good days fade
Hurts the brain to think, hurts the head to drink
 
But nothing ever stays the same,
Nothing's explained
The higher we go, the longer we fly
'Cause this is it for all we know,
So say good night to me
And lose no more time, no time
Resisting the flow
 
I heard you calling from far away,
I thought I heard you cry
Hadn't the voice to make it right, so I just cried
 
I felt you slipping, slipping away,
Before I could even see
Try once more, lost my grip, you were gone
 
But nothing ever stays the same,
Nothing's explained
The longer it takes, the looser the ties
'Cause this is it, for all we know,
So say good night to me
And lose no more time, no time
Resisting the flow
 
(solo)
 
But nothing ever stays the same,
Nothing's explained
The stronger we wake, the faster we run
'Cause this is it, for all we know,
So say good night to me
And lose no more time, no time
Resisting the flow
