Pleased To Meet You -Live acoustic track. (Track 4 on Superhero single) By Aneiki. Transcribed by Shaun Connellan. (shaunconnellan@hotmail.com) http://www.geocities.com/shaunconnellan *********************************** Now, I've taken a lot of time and put a lot of effort into this tab. It's almost 100% the same as Grant plays it. (The bridge is roughly 99%) Basically, this is really damn close... Now, you'll need to read through the tab several times, and play it slow at first, because it's quite hard to try and sight-read. Playing along with the CD is a good help. I also put the chords at the top... the tab itself tells you what notes to pick out. Also It's a very good idea to read the chord chart at the bottom of this... some chords need to be fingered differently to how you would normally play them. I've also included another complete transcription of Pleased To Meet You at the bottom, that sticks much more closely to the recorded version, but is easily played acoustically... (if you just read it you'll notice the differences) *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* IMPORTANT: *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Now, If after reading the first 2 versions you can't make sense of it, keep scrollin', 'coz I've just decided to include a third, 'simple' version. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ Anyway, this is the live version as released on the Superhero single: Intro: Em G G6 Em G C6 G6 E)-------3--3---------0-------------3-3------0-------| B)---0---0---0---3------3--------0--0-0--3-----3-----| G)--0----0----0--0--0----0-----0----0-0--0--0---0----| -> Straight into 1st D)-2-----0-------0--------0--2------0----2-------0---| verse.

And all you say these days are things that I don't wanna hear. Bridge: (Hopefully you remember this part, too.) I don't think that you remember (I don't think that you recall) It was you and me against the world. But I'll introduce myself Chorus again: I'm pleased to meet you You don't seem to recognise me But you know you look just like someone That I used to know. I'm pleased to meet you You know I think you used to love me But now it seems like that was a whole lifetime ago. Another weird, bridge-type part of the song: Bm Am So I guess I'll see you 'round sometime C And one day you might Cm Think we've met before G You'll turn to me and say, Chorus again: I'm pleased to meet you You don't seem to recognise me But you know you look just like someone That I used to know. I'm pleased to meet you You know I think you used to love me But now it seems like that was a whole lifetime ago. Chorus again, vocals as follow: G Bm ah-oh-ooo-oh ***you know what I mean, it's that bit Jen ad-libs*** C Cm ah-oh-ooo-oh you look just like someone that I used to know.

(It's just too damn hard to try do it differently than these) Em G open (verses) G barred (chorus) C6 ********** E)-0--- E)-3--- E)-3--- E)---0- Important: B)-0--- B)-0--- B)-3--- B)-1-3- ********** G)-0--- G)-0--- G)-4--- G)---0- *You have your index D)-2--- D)-0--- D)-5--- D)---2- *finger on the 1st A)-2--- A)-2--- A)-5--- A)---3- *fret, pinky 3rd, E)-0--- E)-3--- E)-3--- E)---X- *on the B string. *The reason for this *is that although Bm Cm *you don't USE your E)-2--- E)-3--- *index finger in THIS B)-3--- B)-4--- *chord, it makes the G)-4--- G)-5--- *chord changes much D)-4--- D)-5--- *easier.

When grant played it live (as the above tab shows) he played the little G6 riff as: E)-0----| B)--3---| G)---0--| D)------| A)------| E)------| And in addition to cutting the riff short, he played it AFTER the chord change from A minor to C major... Listening to the single version however, we hear the riff played as: E)-0---0---0--| B)--3---3---3-| G)---0---0----| D)------------| A)------------| E)------------| And it's played BETWEEN / OVER THE TOP OF the chord change from Am to C. Basically, it's little things like this that make the acoustic version so different to the single version. (Also, in the single version the C minor chord in the chorus, there's a slide from the 8th fret barred Cm to the 3rd fret barred Cm) Now, obviously, if you've only got 1 guitarist, it's gonna be a little tricky to play a riff over the top of a chord change... really you need 2 guitarists. There is a way to 'cheat', however, and make it sound like you're playing the riff over the top of the chord change... it works like this: Am C6 E)--0-----0----0---| B)-----3----3----3-| G)--2---0----0-----| D)--2-----2--------| A)--------3--------| E)-----------------| This way, the G6 riff is turned into a C6, to make it sound like a G6 over a C... because the 3 top strings are played the same in both chords, and the top 3 strings are the only ones played in the riff, you can't tell... It's just that this needs a little practice before it sounds any good... anyway, here's the rest of the tab. ******************** Pleased To Meet You- Single Version. ******************** Intro: Em G Am/C6/G6 E)------3-3---0----0-----0-----| B)-0-0--0-0-----3----3-----3---| G)-0-0--0-0---2--0-----0-------| D)-2-2--0-0---2----2-----------| A)-2-2--2-2--------3-----------| E)-0-0--3-3--------------------| <- Repeat twice.

There's no more to it. Sorry, but if you couldn't understand the above tab, you really need to learn to play an instrument first. It really can't get any simpler. So, I guess that's the end of this file. (BTW, I'm officially declaring this the most comprehensive tab of Pleased To Meet You on the planet Earth) Transcribed By Shaun Connellan.

Please Ignore the following: (But seriously, Sam, the chord is *G6* you will *NEVER* see a professional musician write the chord of G6 as 'G+D'.... It just doesn't happen. It's a bit like trying to write Esus4 as 'E+A'... Not likely!)
