Insanity (FAREWELL version) Written by Oingo Boingo and transcribed by Cameron Miller Here is the tab for the chorus. You could use chords but to me it sounds like they use this tab set up. I’ve set it up for two guitars, with the second one playing the orchestra part. Like a wave we cannot see First guitar (lead): E------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------- G------------------------------------------- D------3------------3---------5-------5--- A----2---2-------2---2----4---4---4---4- E------------------------------------------- Second guitar (rhythm): E---------------------------------- B--------------------------------- G-----------4--------4/7--------- D-----------4--------4/7--------- A-----------2--------2/5--------- E--------------------------------- Washing over you and me E------------------------------------- B------------------------------------- G------------------------------------- D------3-------3---------6-------6-- A---2---2---2---2----5---5---5---5 E------------------------------------- E------------------------------------- B------------------------------------- G-------------4---------4/9---------- D-------------4---------4/9---------- A-------------2---------2/7---------- E------------------------------------- Hiding here and hiding there E------------------------------------ B------------------------------------ G------------------------------------ D------4-------4--------3-------3-- A---3---3---3---3---2---2---2---2 E------------------------------------ E---------------------------- B---------------------------- G-------5----------5/4------ D-------5----------5/4------ A-------3----------3/2------ E----------------------------- Madness hiding everywhere E------------------------------------- B------------------------------------- G------------------------------------- D------4-------4--------2-------2--- A---3---3---3---3---1---1---1---1- E-------------------------------------- E---------------------------------- B---------------------------------- G------------5-------------5/3---- D------------5-------------5/3---- A------------3-------------3/1---- E----------------------------------- Such a curiosity E------------------------------------------------- B---2-2-2-2----3-3-3-3------------------------ G---2-2-2-2----3-3-3-3------------------------ D---2-2-2-2----3-3-3-3----------------------- A------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------- G------------------4------------4/7------------ D------------------4------------4/7------------ A------------------2------------2/5------------ E------------------------------------------------ Here it comes to set us free E--------------------------------------------------- B---2-2-2-2/4-4-4-4------------------------------ G---2-2-2-2/4-4-4-4----------------------------- D---2-2-2-2/4-4-4-4------------------------------ A--------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------ G---------4------4/9---------------------------- D---------4------4/9--------------------------- A---------2------2/7--------------------------- E----------------------------------------------- Plenty left for you and me E----------------------------------- B---3-3-3-3---2-2-2-2---------- G---3-3-3-3---2-2-2-2---------- D---3-3-3-3---2-2-2-2---------- A---------------------------------- E---------------------------------- E----------------------------- B----------------------------- G-----5------5/4------------- D-----5------5/4------------- A-----3------3/2------------- E------------------------------ Say hello insanity E---------------------------- B---3-3-3-3/1-1-1-1------ G---3-3-3-3/1-1-1-1------ D---3-3-3-3/1-1-1-1------ A---------------------------- E---------------------------- E--------------------------- B--------------------------- G------5-----5/3----------- D------5-----5/3----------- A------3-----3/1----------- E--------------------------- That is the basic pattern used for all the choruses, but I just used the first choruses, because that’s where it first comes in (and I like that chorus). The base for this song is on a six string with a pedal (?), but the rhythm guitar can help it along by using this stroke (strum) muted or dead stringed. You go: Down Down Down Up Down Down Down Up Down Up Down Up Down Listen to the song’s base line and you should understand me. You might find it easier to just do this: E------------------------------------ B------------------------------------ G------------------------------------ D------------------------------------ A---1-1-1-1-----1----1-1-1-1---1 E-------------X----------------X--- Lead guitar should just use a lot of distortion and eerie pitch bending effects during the verse. Sure this tab is long and complex, but take the time to learn it, I’m sure it’s correct. Have fun playing! Over and out.
