Answer the phone - Sugar Ray

The song is tuned 1/2 step down, which I find completely useless. You =
don't have to tune your strings down unless you want to play along to =
the song. If you want to play along to the song AND not tune, then you =
can probably figure it out, right?

Intro (theres some funky effects here, don't ask me):
Eb---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0-
Bb---------5--5---7--7---3--3--
Gb--2--2-----------------------
Db--------2------4------0------
Ab-0---------------------------

then A5, E5, F#5, D5 (fingerings, not actual chord sound)
Gb-------9---11---7- x2
Db---7---9---11---7-
Ab---7---7---9----5-
Eb---5--------------

The 2nd guitar plays E5 w/ some effect every once in a while, over the =
D5 in the Chorus and in the intro:

You can figure out the rhythm right? :)

Verse:

For the first time there is no guitar, then:

       A5 etc.
Db-6\7-7------
Ab-6\7-7------
Eb-4\5-5------
       P.M.............................

Do the A5, E5, F#5, D5 progression once palm muted then:

Chorus:

A5, E5, F#5, D5 x2

***Verse again***
***Chorus again***

Bridge:

***Intro again****

Chord progression once

***Chorus x2***

End on A5 and do the funky harmonic thing on A5 :)
I gave up on figuring out all the little stuff, but i haven't seen a tab =
thats actually going in the right direction with this song so I hope =
someone will pick up my slack. You can contact me at jansuw@hotmail.com =
.

|------------------2-------2-------4-------4-------0-------0-------|
|--0-------0-------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chorus and Verse (palm mute and pick easy during verse and go balls
out strumming during chorus)
