Backstabbin' – Sloan

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

Rather than put chords above the lyrics, I’ll divide it into riffs:

Main Riff:
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--5----2----2--2----5----5--2----2--5----5--5----2----2--2----(5)--
D|--5----2----2--2----5----5--2----2--5----5--5----2----2--2----(5)--
A|--3----0----0--0----3----3--0----0--3----3--3----0----0--0----(3)--
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes there is an extra C before the riff restarts...but after the 
intro, if you just play two C's at the beginning, it should be fine. 
After the first time through in the intro, another guitar plays a pick
scrape.

Well there's one thing, then another thing
Building up into a mountain of annoying
You keep scratching and unattracting
And shining light on everything that I am lacking

Chorus Riff:
E|---------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------
G|----------------5----------------------------  (x3)
D|--3--3--3--3----5----5/7--7--7--7----5----5--
A|--3--3--3--3----3----5/7--7--7--7----5----5--
E|--1--1--1--1---------3/5--5--5--5----3----3--

E|----------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------
G|--5--5--5--5----5/----------------------
D|--5--5--5--5----5/----3----4----5----6--
A|--3--3--3--3----3/----3----4----5----6--
E|----------------------1----2----3----4--

Chorus:
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin' with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look,  yeah
And there's nothing I can say about it

Backstabbin’, yeah backstabbin’

Change the pitch, flick the switch
And flatten all the buttons
Backstabbin', yeah backstabbin'
Make something new from the truth

Chorus

Backstabbin', yeah backstabbin'

Well there's one thing, then another thing
Building up into a mountain of annoying
You keep scratching and unattracting
And shining light on everything that I am lacking

After this is the Main Riff with no lyrics, then the chorus, but after the first line the riff is:

E|-------------------------
B|-------------------------
G|--5----2----2----5----7--
D|--5----2----2----5----7--
A|--3----0----0----3----5--
E|-------------------------

Then the main riff again.

Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin' with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin' with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah

The ending is the Chorus Riff, without its ending.

Backstabbin', yeah backstabbin'

End with the Main Riff. Hopefully that makes sense!
