------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Higher Than the World - The Armoury Show ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: John Dixon Email:jgdix1@yahoo.co.uk for any comments/ suggestions. Tuning:DADADE This is a tab based mainly on the way that John McGeoch played the song live. The recorded version is very similar but a bit more fiddly with overdubs and added guitar lines.The harmonics in fig 3 are taken from the live version. You can see TAS perform this on Youtube.

Solo: I've slowed this section down with Slowgold, and these are the notes. If you can play it at album speed you are as good as John McGeoch! I can't!! I think John pulls off to the open strings to create the rythmn. e|------12-------12-------12------12-------12-------12-------12---------12--------12-------12--------12-----| D|-0 10----0-10-----0--10----0 10-----0 10----0 10------0-10------0--10-----0--10----0--10-----0--10--------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----13--------13--------13-------13-------13------13-------13-------13-------13--------13-------13-------13---| D|0-12----0---12----0---12----0--12----0--12----0-12----0--12-----0-12----0--12-----0--12----0--12----0--12------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------15--------15--------15----------15-------15-------15--------15-----15-------15-------15--------15-----15-15-| D|-0-14-----0---14----0---14----0---14------0--14----0--14----0---14----0-14---0--14----0--14-----0--14----0---14-14-| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-15--15--15-15-15-15\------------------------------------------------------| D|-14--14--14-14-14-14\------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 2nd guitar break e|-----------------------------------10-10----------------------12-12--------------------10-10--------------------------0| D|--10-10-10-10----------------------12-12----------------------14-14--------------------12-12-10--12-/14h15p14h15p14~--0| A|--12-12-12-12----------------5~~---10-10---------------7~~----15-15--0--7-0--5-0-8~~---10-10--------------------------0| D|--12-12-12-12----5-5/7-7h8---------10-10---2-2/3--3/5----------------------------------10-10--------------------------0| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0| -----Dsus2(iii)------------------------------------/Csus2 And on it goes like a fire push it on push it higher etc........... | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
