Love Is No Big Truth

Love Is No Big Truth - Kings Of Convenience
Tabbed by Simon Bance 18/11/04 (I should be in bed sleeping)
Tuning; STANDARD

This tab is based on the live version! To hear it go to www.kingsofconvenience.org!

In the album version the chorus riff is played from the start (but with a plectrum, using heavy palm muting). Maybe I will tab it separately later.

The hardest bit is the rhythm to the picking. It is hard to notate especially using tablature so you just have to listen to the record and pick it up.

Eirik's part:

Intro/Verse:

m = mute
m m m m m m m m
|---------------|----------------|---------------|----------------|
|----5-----5---4|--4-4-----4-4-4-|2---2-----2-2-2|--2-2-2---2-2-2-|
|----4-----4---4|--4-4-----4-4-4-|2---2-----2-2-2|--2-2-2---2-2-2-|www.shedjo.me.uk
|----6-----6---4|--4-4-----4-4-4-|2---2-----2-2-2|--2-2-2---2-2-2-|
|4--------------|------6-6-------|------4-4------|------4-4-------|
|--------4-----4|----------------|2--------------|2---------------| 

So that repeats a few times until the last one before the chorus, which ends differently, like this; 

m m m m m m m m
|---------------|----------------|---------------|----------------|
|----5-----5---4|--4-4-----4-4-4-|4---4-----4-4-4|--4-4-4---4-4-4-|
|----4-----4---4|--4-4-----4-4-4-|4---4-----4-4-4|--4-4-4---4-4-4-|
|----6-----6---4|--4-4-----4-4-4-|4---4-----4-4-4|--4-4-4---4-4-4-|
|4--------------|------6-6-------|--------6------|--------6-------|
|--------4-----4|----------------|4--------------|4---------------| 

Chorus: 

x=10
y=11
z=12
m m m m m m m
|----------------|----------------|---------------|----------------|
|----9-----9-9---|--9-9-----9---9-|----9-----9-9-5|--5-5-----5-5-5-|
|----9-----9-9---|--9-9-----9---9-|----8-----8-8-6|--6-6-----6-6-6-| repeat x4

|9-------------z-|------9-----9---|7--------------|------7-7-------|
|--------9-------|--------z-------|--------7-----5|----------------| 

.....then back to verse bit. 

Break: "Another view of what there is to it. Getting me throught it" - Paola, you missed this bit out from your lyrics page! Simon :)

Then back to verse bit.
Then the first 2 lines of the "chorus" bit as above. 

Then the solo, if you call it that...
Use lots of vibrato, be very expressive like on the live recording! :)
