The Distance

The tabber before me almost had it all right, but there were a few minor

problems with it, so I decided to send them to you. Mine is easier to read

too, because I do not put in the rythym parts. You guys are smart enough to

do it yourselves out there.

First Part: throughout verses repeating over and over

e--------------------------------------------------

b--0----1-/-3-\-1-0---------0-h-1-p-0-------

g--0----2-/-4-\-2-0---2----0-h--2-p-0--2----

d-------------------------4--------------------4---

Trumpet part(not played by guitar, but it sounds cool!):

e-7-6-5-3-2-0-0-0-

g-8-7-6-5-3-2-1-0-

a--------------------012--------------5/7-75

e-00-00-00-03b---------00-00-0---------7\

Tab:"The Distance" by Cake

Album: Fashion Nugget

This is a really good song of an incredible album. I'm calling this one the biggest surprise album of 1997. I'm pretty sure this tab is accurate, because I saw them play it live here(Montreal) in December.

Verse Riff(Clean tone)

e:I--------------------------------I

B:I---0---1/3\1-0------0h1p0---0---I

G:I---0---2/4\2-0-2----0h2p0-2-0---I

D:I---------------4----------4-----I

A:I--------------------------------I

E:I--------------------------------I

Do that as many times as needed, then skip the part with the trumpet until this:

Chorus(Distorted)

e:I----------------------------I---------------------------I

B:I----------------------------I---------------------------I

G:I----------------------------I---------------------------I

D:I----------------------------I---------------------------I

A:I----------------------0-1-2-I------------------5/7-7-5--I

E:I-0-0--0-0--0-0--0-3b4-------I-0-0--0-0--0-0--0---------7I

There's also this part, which is thrown in here and there:

Post-Chorus(Distorted)

e:I------------------------I

B:I------------------------I

G:I------------------------I

D:I---------2--------------I

A:I-----------------0-1-2--I

E:I---0-3-0---3b4-4--------I

! !

I'm not sure if this is done with a hammer-on or not.

That's all the guitar in the song. I just want to mention that according to an interview with their guitarist, Cake gets their unique sound by buying the cheapest, beat-up equipment they can find. Cool, eh!
