Tuning: Standard This is one of my all-time favorite Van Halen songs. It's also got some pretty cool which are made by Eddie's Wurlitzer electric piano. The Wurlitzer was run through a flanger then put through Eddie's Marshall stack. I actually believe that all the rhythm parts in song are played on the Wurlitzer, but for the sake of tabbing this, it'll be on guitar. Wurlizter piano intro 0:00 - 0:04 Eddie said in a 1980 Guitar World interview that he just banged on random sets of keys, didn't actually intend to make a melody. However, it's possible to get a similar sound just sliding up and down, doing harmonics on the E string. It's also good if you can get MXR Phase 90 thrown into the mix as well. e|--------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------| E|-/+-/+-/+-/+-/+-/+-/+-/+--/++--\+-\+-\+-\+-\+-\+-\+-----| Intro 0:04 - 0:22 |--PM----------| e|---------------------------| B|----------3----------------| G|-22-x-5x5-2--20202020------| x4 D|-22-x-5x5-0--20202020------| A|-00-x--------0-0-0-0-------| E|---------------------------| Intro lead solo (tremolo picked) 0:11 - 0:22 e|--------------| B|---10-8--8-10-| G|--------9-----| D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--------------| Listen to the song to get the timing right. Verse This part is played in kind of a shuffle, it's hard to tab out how many times each chord is hit, so just play along with the song and you'll get it. 0:22 - 0:37 0:37 e|------------------1-1-x1-11x-11------| B|--6-6--6-66x-66---1-1-x1-11x-11----3-| G|--5-5-x5-55x-55---3-3-x3-33x-33----3-| D|--5-5-x5-55x-55--------------------3-| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| Interlude 0:37 - 0:40 e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|-/+-/+-/+-/+-/+-/+--| Chorus 0:40 - 0:57 |--PM----------| e|---------------------------| B|----------3----------------| G|-22-x-5x5-2--20202020------| x4 D|-22-x-5x5-0--20202020------| A|-00-x--------0-0-0-0-------| E|---------------------------| ^{Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/v/van-halen/224113.html} Verse 2 0:57 - 1:13 1:12 e|-------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------3--| G|--2-2--2-22--22---3-3-x3-33x-33---3--| D|--3-3-x3-33x-33---1-1-x1-11x-11---3--| A|--3-3-x3-33x-33----------------------| E|-------------------------------------| Interlude 1:13 - 1:15 e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|-\+-\+-\+-\+-\+-\+--| Chorus 2 1:15 - 1:33 |--PM----------| e|---------------------------| B|----------3----------------| G|-22-x-5x5-2--20202020------| x4 D|-22-x-5x5-0--20202020------| A|-00-x--------0-0-0-0-------| E|---------------------------| Solo 1:33 - 1:51 e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--t-----------t--------t--------t---------t---------t---------t-----------| G|--17p---9h12--17p9h12--17p9h12--17p10h13--17p10h13--17p11h14--17p11-------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1:38 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--t-------------t----t----p--------------------------------------------| G|--17h11\10~-----13---10---10p9~~~--\------x--5b--5--5--5--5--5--5------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------8--11p8--11---| G|--5-5-5---5p3h5---3^\-----------------5h9p5--5/9---------------| D|--------------------------------------5h7h9--------------------| A|----------------------------x--3h5h7---------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----8--11^--11--10--9--8------------------------------------20~~~--| B|--^---------------------------11^~~~/20----------20-----------------| G|--------------------------------------------19^------19--17---------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| The rest of the song is just repeating the second verse and the chorus. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note
