Song: Hanging by A Moment
Artist: Lifehouse
Tabbed by: bEn jAmEs

Normally played on a 5-string, but here is the 4-string version

Tuning: EADG (can be tuned to drop D, but doesn't have to be)

Intro:

G:----------------------------------------------------
D:----------------------------------------------------
A:---------------------------------------4---4---4---4
E:-12/9--12/9--12/9--12/9--12/9--12/9--6---6---6---6--

After the slide there is that little slow alternation on A# and C#
for a four string bass. The real way to do it is on a 5 string which
I don't have so I didn't tab it that way. Just do whatever you want.
I just improv it.

Verse 1:

Riff 1:
G:----------------------------------------------------
D:-----4-6---------6-4-6-4(use pull off for that little part)
A:-4-4-----4-4-4-4------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------------------

Riff 2:
G:----------------------------------------------------
D:-----4-6--------------------------------------------
A:-4-4-----4-4-4-4--6-4-6-4(use pull off for that little part)
E:----------------------------------------------------

Secondary Riff 2:
G:----------------------------------------------------
D:-----4-6--------------------------------------------
A:-4-4-----4-4-4-4-4(keep building up on C# till the chorus)
E:----------------------------------------------------


The verse goes R1,R2,R1,R2,R1,SR2

Chorus:

G:------------------------------------------------------------------
D:---------6-4------------6-----------------------------------------
A:-------4-----8-6--4-4-4---4-4(build up)---------4-4-4-------4-4-4-
E:-6-6-4----------------------------------6-6-6-6-------6-6-6-------     2X

Ok, the part that goes G# F# F D# is played when the guy says
"Letting go of." Play it in that little line of his on exact
sylabls like "Let-G# ting-F# go-F of-D#." Just listen to the song.
You'll get it. Where it says build up, keep building up the sound
till the lead singer says "Standing here."

Verse 2:

G:------------------------------------------------------------------
D:--------------------------------------6-6-----6-6-----6-6-----6-6-
A:-----4-4-----4-4-----4-4-----4-4--4-4-----4-4-----4-4-----4-4-----
E:-2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2--------------------------------------

G:-------------------------------------------------------------
D:-------------------------------------------------------------
A:-----4-4-----4-4-----4-4-----4-4-4(build up to bridge)-------
E:-2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2---------------------------------

Bridge:
This is where you here "There is nothin else"

Riff 3:

G:---------------------------------------------------------------
D:---------------------------------------------------------------
A:-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--6-6-6-6-8------------------------------------
E:----------------------------6(continue play on beat or improv)-  2x

This is right after he says "There is nothin else" the 3rd time. He says it this
time, not sings it.

G:-----------------------------------------------------
D:-----4-----------------------------------------------
A:-8-6---8-6-8-----------------------------------------
E:-------------6---------------------------------------

After Bridge (kinda like the intro)

G:----------------------------------------------------
D:----------------------------------------------------
A:----------------------------------------------------
E:-12/9--12/9-----------------------------------------

Verse 1 again

Chorus again

Ending:

G:-----------
D:-----------
A:-------4---
E:-6-6-4-----

just play a thing like that or

G:----------
D:-6-4------
A:-----8-6--
E:----------

like that for the ending. It's really just a lot of improv and can get
really complicated. But that's it for the tab. It's pretty darn close
except for parts that are played on a 5-string bass. If you have any
questions or corrections, just email them to me at
