Lost Cause by Beck
Tabbed by Keith Richard a.k.a. SeñorTocar
¿WANNA RATE THIS BAD LARRY?
Seriously someone e-mail me for kicks Keithdacoralreef@hotmail.com

Special thanks to Matt for the big help figuring the chords

I looked all over the place for someone who would go past giving the chords but I guess I'm one of the few people that dare tab this correctly. The tab on Guitaretab.com was awful so after accidently figuring out the intro I decided to
tab the whole thing. It's somewhat dificult to pick out all the little riffs Beck plays over the main part, I got most of them, I hope it isn't that dificult to understand.

Intro- play this 4x

Fmaj7 C C/B
e-----------0--------------------------------|
B-------1----(1)----------1-----------1------|
G---------------------0----------------------|
D----3-----------------------------0---------|
A-----------------3------------2-------------|
E-1------------------------------------------|

Verse 1

Fmaj7 C C/B
e---------(0)-----------------------------|
B-------1-------------1-----------1-------|
G----------------0------------------------|
D----3-------------------------0----------|
A-------------3------------2--------------|
E-1---------------------------------------|

Play same riff three times and on the fourth time play this instead, do the same
for the 2nd verse and that brings you right into...


Am E
e-----------0--------------0---|
B-------1-------------- 0------|
G------------------------------|
D----2-------------2-----------|
A-0-------------2--------------|
E-------------------------------|


The Chorus
Play this first riff with "Baby you're a lost" (which is repeated twice) and the third time play the 2nd riff

Riff 1
e-----------1-------------------0-----|
B-------1-----(0)------------3-----3--|
G------------------------0------------|
D----3--------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------|
E-1------------------3----------------|

Riff 2
e-----------1------------------0------------------0--1--0--------|
B--------1----(0)----------3------3-----------1------------3--1--|
G-----------------------0----------------------------------------|
D-----3-------------------------------------2--------------------|
A----------------------------------------3-----------------------|
E--1-----------------3-------------------------------------------|


there's also a little riff played over the first chorus thats goes like this:
B-----5---3---5--------5---3---------|

Verse 3 and 4, you play the same thing as for 1 and 2

Then play the chorus again and the same pattern is played over the added lyrics to the first chorus ("I'm tired of fighting...") With another little riff, use the notes I've given to sort of improvise it cuz it comes
up alot in the song
e---5---3--5---|

Now is the trickier part, Beck starts to really throw in little riffs and each line has its own unique riff
I'm going to tab it out line by line.

"There's a place where you are going"
Am F C
e------------0-------------1-------------0------------0----|
B---------1-------------1-------------1--------------------|
G-----2----------------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------2--------------(2)------|
A--0----------------3---------3---------------(3)----------|
E----------------1-----------------------------------------|

"You ain't never been before"
Am F C
e------------0-------------1--------------0-------0-----0---|
B--------1--------------1-------------1--------1-----1------|
G-----2-----------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------3------------2-------------------------|
A--0---------------------------3----------------------------|
E----------------1------------------------------------------|

*Fill 1* that vvvvvvvvvv play over that ^^^^^^^^^^^

e--5--3--5--3---5p3--5---|

"No one left to watch your back now"
Am F C C/B
e-----------0-------------1--------------0--------------|
B--------1------------1--------------1-------------1----|
G-----2-----------------------------------------0-------|
D------------------3-------------2----------------------|
A--0--------------------------3-------------2-----------|
E---------------1---------------------------------------|

*Fill 2* Beck plays this cool little arrangement up the fretboard at the end of the above riff

e--12--10--8--7--5--|

"No one standing at your door"
Am Am E E
e------------0-------------0-----------0------------0--|
B--------1-------------1------------0------------------|
G------------------------------------------------1-----|
D-----2-------------------------2------------2---------|
A--0------------0------------2------------2------------|

*Fill 3* play this after the above riff

B-1--3--5---5--3--1--|


"Thats what you thought love was for"

e--------------------------1-----------0---|

G------------------------------------------|
D--------3---------3--------------2--------|

*Fill 4* play this after the above riff

B--7--5--3--1--|

Final Chorus/ Outro

E--1-----------------3-------------------------------------------|



Play 1st riff twice then on the third time play riff 2, repeat that process for the 2nd half of the chorus

This is the riff that is played during the outro and ends the song:
e-----------------------------------------------------------|
B--1-3-5--3---5--3---5--3---5--3----1-3-5--3---5--3---5--3--|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------|

e--7--5-7---7--5-7---7--5-7---8-|
B-----------------------------8-|
G-----------------------------9-|
D-------------------------------|
A-------------------------------|
E-------------------------------|
