Run Thru

[TomBarton]

okay, this is rough - but gets the point across
Run Thru
My Morning Jacket
It Still Moves

Tabbed by Tombarton@gmail.com


okay, two basic sections to the song - A&B

A, follows the same basic Fm, Eb, C#, C pattern as such:

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--10--8--6--5-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--10--8--6--5-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--8---6--4--3-----------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|


there are other basic moving parts that are based on arpeggios etc from the
main chord at that time.

the intro/recurring lead line through section A is as such:



|-------11--13----------11--13---------11--13--11------------------------|
|-11/13----------11/13-----------11/13------------14--13-13--------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|


|------------------11b---------------------------------------------------|
|-13-13--11-----11b---11b-11-11--13-13-11----11-11-----------------------|
|-----------13----------------------------13-------13-12-13-12-13-12-----|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|


this will get you through the main part of the song - the 'middle 8' section
gets a bit interesting with the distorted bass, but you can mimic it just the
same with some thick fuzz (pi big muff, for instance).


3 basic parts of section B that you can alternate/repeat for as long as
you feel like jamming:

         -- -- part 1 -- -- --           -- part 2 (8va of part 1)
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------9------------------|
|----------------------------------------10-8-10-8-10---10-8-10----------|
|-----------------6---------------------------------------------8-10-8---|
|-------8-6-8-6-8---8-6-8-----6------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------6-8--------------------------------------------|


       -- -- -- part 3 -- -- --
|--------------8-------------8-------------------------------------------|
|----9-8-9-8-9---9-8-9-8---8---------------------------------------------|
|------------------------8-----------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|


from here, take it back into the lead/section A part for some mighty powerful
"oh shit, run"'s  
- the very last bit is built on power chords with the root of each following
in part 1 of section B (exception being the octave Eb, which can be fingered
x-11-13-13-x-x)

enjoy! corrections/suggestions always welcome -

what does that mean: --11b--?

nice work. :)

[tomEisenbraun]

fret the 11 and bend it up a full step, so the resulting sound is the same note as the 13th fret. standard bend pretty much

Hey guys, I've revised the tab for Run Thru.  I sent a copy to Dylan over at the MMJ tabs page, but if anyone wants it I can email it to you before he gets it up. Send me a PM or an email and I'll get it to you likity split. I don't want to sound like a jack ass, but I think it's 99% accurate.

Hey, I got your submission.  Thanks.  It looks good.  It's not a whole lot different from Tom B's version but I like the formatting better.  I'd like to figure out Jim's "solo" that he plays over the main riff right before they go into the last verse, if you figure it out before I get to it let me know.  It sounds really good with two guitars.  Thanks again.  I'll try to post it asap.
