Stay Out Of Trouble

Stay Out Of Trouble- Kings Of Convenience
Tabbed by Simon Bance 2006
(Requested by Jonah)
Tuning;STANDARD Capo 1
(OK so it's possible they have simply tuned up a semitone instead)
Sorry this one took so long. I've been busy. In the end it was a really easy one to tab :) And it's easy to play too, but you need two people!
Or just record one part yourself and play the other one over it.

You don't really need to play the "4" there. I do't think he does it every time, especially when there are other instruments playing the bass note. But I think it sounds better and makes this transcription more complete.
You need to play the lowest notes in each pattern to complete the sound for two guitars, but if you have a cello (or whatever) playing them then you can skip them out.

( N.B.

If you have other instruments, it is more like this:

|------------|-------------|------------|-----------|
|-----2-----2|-----2-------|-----0-----0|-----0-----|
|---1-----1--|---1------1--|---1-----1--|---1-------|
|--2-----2---|--2------2---|--1-----1---|--1--------|
|0-----0-----|0------0-----|2-----2-----|2-----2----|
|------------|-------------|------------|-----------|

Later on he simply plays the same chord shapes but misses out most of the bass notes "Hey baby, what we've got..." etc.

OK for "Stay out of trouble..." it gets a little more complex;

Then until the end it is...

Depending on what version you listen to, he might start picking *one string* higher later on, i.e. the first string instead of the second string, etc.

Chords:

Main bit; X X 2 1 2 0 --> X X 1 1 0 2

(I recommend you flick the chord with your index finger, no plectrum. Rest your thumb on the D string. )

"not been enough" (as played at Auditorium Parco della Musica, Rome, 31 October 2004 i.e. with no backing instruments)

"Stay out of trouble..." Yeah, you guessed it...

X X 6 4 5 4 --> X X 1 1 0 2 --> X X 2 1 2 0

N.B. (It helps to just make an Am7 bar chord shape!)

X X 4 2 0 0 --> X X 6 4 0 0

X X 6 4 5 4 --> X X 6 4 4 4

The rest is all just recycling the bits we've already looked at.
Have fun playing it and ask google for Shedjo if you have any problems! :)
