ERASE/REWIND
The Cardigans
from the album “Gran Turismo” (1998)

IMPORTANT!! READ THIS FIRST!!
There are a few tabs for this song already in existence, but
unfortunately most of them are inaccurate. I’ve noticed that several
of them make the mistake of tabbing out what is actually a keyboard,
which is played in a higher octave than the guitar part. The guitar
plays basically the same riffs but in a lower octave, which, combined
with the keyboard, gives the song its overall sound. I’ve worked out
what I believe to be the most complete and accurate tab for this song
that exists to date. I’ve incorporated both the guitar and keyboard
parts for those of you who want to try playing it using two guitars.
The lines of tab for “Guitar I” are the normal guitar parts, played
on an acoustic. The tab for “Guitar II” is a guitar arrangement of
what the keyboard plays - notice how during the main riff it is
basically doubling the guitar riff but at a higher octave. And finally
the chords listed below each line of tab represent the overall
tonality of the song created by the synthesizer in the background.
** GUITAR I = Acoustic Guitar **
** GUITAR II = Keyboard arranged for guitar **
