Tabbed by Thomas Callens aka Tommy Hendrix 29-06-99
DEUS is a Belgian band from Antwerp (this is where I'm from too) That is becoming quite famous now thanks to their new album: "The Ideal Crash", which I partially cotabbed with a guy named=20 "Apeman" (no he's not a loonatic). "The Magic Hour" is the 4th song on that album. This is one of the first times I trie to tab a complete song. Usually I search the tab on the net, but for dEUS y'all won't find anything, so = Here it is. First of all, you've got to tune down the lowest string 2 steps down (=AEfrom E to D). I won't put no lyrics in my tab, so to situe a riff, just look at the = Time indications I'll be givin'.
This might not be totally correct, it's very difficult to hear because = There are 2 guitars playing different things and I think they're using = E-bows or some other stuff. Anyway, play this riff twice during the intro and twice during each = Verse.
Be careful: this sounds like it, but it's not totally correct!!!?! Once again, this is a very hard song to tab. Play this thingie twice during the "Godawful I adore you" part.
*1:16>1:47 verse2
Same as verse1, except there's a violin who comes in now.
*1:48>2:03 chorus
Play riff2 twice
*2:04>2:35
Here's a little intermezzo. Don't forget yer lowest string should be=20 Tuned to D!! D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5- A--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5- D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-
This is the end of the intermezzo and I really have no fuckin' idea What this is all about.
*2:47>3:18 verse3
Same as verses 1&2, except on this one there's one guitar more who=20 Plays a little pizzicato riff that goes this way: E----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2-----3-2--- B--0-----3-0-----3-0-----3-0-----3-------3-------3-------3-------3- G----------------------------------2-------2-------2-------2-------
*3:19>3:37 chorus
Play riff2 twice
*3:38>3:54
The aspect of the song changes completelly now; no guitars or drum=20 Or bass anymore for a while and a heavy contrabas comes in.
*3:55>4:11
A guitar comes back in, but with bass tones. Riff3 E------------------------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------------2-----2----- D--------------------------------------0-----0--------------------- A------2-----2-----3-3-----2-2------------------------------------- D--2-2---2-2---2-2-----2-2-----2-2-4-4---4-4---4-4-0-0---0-0---0-0-
Play this twice.
*4:12>4:18
Another new riff makes its appearance. Riff4 E--3-0--3-3-0--3--2-----------2-0--- B-----------------3---3---4--------- G-----------------2-----2---2-------
Play this once.
*4:19>4:26
Play riff3 and riff4 together once (for those of you to whom Mother Nature hasn't been very kind, I mean y'all have to play Them two riffs with TWO guitars).
*4:27>4:58
I haven't figured out this part yet.
*4:59>5:21
Play riff4 another two times, and the song finishes at 5:21.
Well, that's all folks!! I hope my tab was clear enough and I wish y'all still many hours of Guitarfun!
