Band: Nickelback Song: How You Remind Me Album: Silver-Side Up Tabbed By: Brian H. Email: weezer090@hotmail.com Great great song! Big fan of it. I haven't had a chance to hear anything else on their album, but I want to very soon. Does anyone have the CD that's willing to tell me how it is? Thanks. These guys, from this song that I've heard, remind me *ALOT* of 3 Doors Down. Clean verses, and distortion choruses, with the same patterns. Am I the only one to think this? Anyways, this song is played in Drop-D, so tune your low-E string to D and so the tuning from low to high is: D-A-D-G-B-e. Okay, have fun with it. CHORDS: (Remember this is in drop-D tuning) C5 - (x355xx) F5* - (3335xx) -- note the difference of this and "F5" Bb5 - (x133xx) Eb* - (1113xx) -- note the difference of this and "Eb5" F5 - (333xxx) -- note the difference of this and "F5*" Eb5 - (111xxx) -- note the difference of this and "Eb*" D#5 - (x688xx) F2 - (x-8-10-10-x-x) -- note the difference of this and the other "F" chords. VERSE 1/INTRO: (Played with a clean tone) C5 F5* Bb5 Eb* Never made it as a wise-man, I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin C5 F5* Bb5 Eb5 I'm tired of livin like a blindman, Sick of sight without a sense of feeling. PRE-CHORUS: (You hear little fills in between each chord, here they are:) C5 Eb* Bb5 F5* E|---3----------3----------1----------1------| B|-----3----------1----------1----------1----| G|-5-----5----3-----3----3-----3----5-----3--| D|-5----------1----------3----------3--------| A|-3----------1----------1----------3--------| D|------------1---------------------3--------| (If you care, I play them like this so that I can pick them out of each chord) C5 Eb* Bb5 F5* E|---3----------1----------1----------3------| B|-----3----------1----------1----------3----| G|-5-----5----3-----3----3-----3----5-----5--| D|-5----------1----------3----------3--------| A|-3----------1----------1----------3--------| D|------------1---------------------3--------| (Sorry to waste your paper, but if you wanna try my way, it's a lot easier) :) C5 D#5 Bb5 F5* This is how you remind me C5 Eb* Bb5 F5* This is how you remind me of what I really am (Repeat) CHORUS: (Now kick in the distortion. Note that you play the power chords now) C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 It's not like you, to say sorry, I was waitin' on a different story. C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 This time I'm, mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breakin C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 I've been wrong, I've been down, to the bottom of every bottle, C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 These five words in my head, scream "Are we havin fun yet" C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 Yet? Yet? Yet? No, No. (Repeat that line) VERSE 2: (Play like VERSE 1) It's not like you didn't know that I said I love you, and I swear I still do. It must've been so bad. Cause livin' with me must've damn near killed you. PRE-CHORUS: (Play like first PRE-CHORUS) This is how you remind me of what I really am. This is how you remind me of what I really am. CHORUS: (Play like first CHORUS) It's not like you, to say sorry, I was waitin on a different story This time I'm, mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breakin, I've been wrong, I've been down, to the bottom of every bottle, These five words in my head, scream "are we havin fun yet" Yet? Yet? Yet? no, no Yet? Yet? Yet? no, no Yet? Yet? Yet? no, no Yet? Yet? Yet? no, no BRIDGE: (NOTE THAT THE "D#5" AND "F2" CHORDS ARE USED IN THE BRIDGE) C5 F5* Bb5 Eb* C5 F5* Bb5 Eb* C5 F5* Never made it as a wise-man, Bb5 Eb* I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing, C5 D#5 F2 And this IS how, you remind me. C5 D#5 F2 This is how, you remind me. (drums enter. now play the little guitar fills) C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5* This is how you remind me of what I really am. C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5* This is how you remind me of what I really am. CHORUS: (Basically same as others, but a little different) C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 It's not like you, to say sorry, I was waitin' on a different story. C5 Eb5 Bb5 (STOP!) This time I'm, mistaken, FOR HANDING YOU A HEART WORTH BREAKIN! C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 I've been wrong, I've been down, to the bottom of every bottle, C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 These five words in my head, scream "are we havin fun yet" OUTRO: C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 Yet? Yet? Are we havin fun yet? C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 Yet? Yet? Are we havin fun yet? C5 Eb5 Bb5 F5 Yet? Yet? Are we havin fun yet? C5 Eb5 Bb5 ...... (let that last Bb5 chord ring out and fade to end the song) Yet? Yet? And that's it for the song! I really enjoy this song a lot, it's on the way up to the popular side of the charts! But don't these guys "remind" you a little of the band 3 Doors Down? They do to me, a lot! Anyways, I'll stop jibbering about stuff that no one cares about, except for the paper that I'm wasting! But, if you have questions, or anything like that, email me at: weezer090@hotmail.com later!
