Leave It by the Yes
Tabbed by: Todd Cathey [email protected]
On 1993 Modulus Graphite Sweet Spot 4—string


I'll tab out the main parts of the song; listen through
while you practice it and put the parts together. There's
really only chorus & verse plus some easy breaks.


Starting about 1:04min into the song, after a bunch of
a cappella stuff: Lead in to the chorus riff:
G|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
D|———————————————————————————————(8)8—8——7—5—3——||
A|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
E|——————————————————————————————————————————————||

G|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
D|———5—3——————3—————————————————————————————————||
A|————————3—5———5——1—3—5————————————————————————||
E|———————————————————————1—3————————————————————||


G|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
D|———5—3——————3——————————3—3—3H5————————————————||
A|————————3—5———5——1—3—5————————————————————————||
E|——————————————————————————————————————————————||

G|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
D|———5—3——————3—————————————————————————————————||
A|————————3—5———5——1—3—5————————————————————————||
E|———————————————————————1—3————————————————————||


Verse is pretty simple, he's doing all the a cappella
stuff again while playing this:
G|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
D|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
A|——————————————————————————————————————————————||
E|——3——3——1—1—3——3——————————————————————————————||
etc; just time the notes quarters and eights as they
are played, slide around a bit.

Next lead—in to chorus is a fun little run up in the
middle of the neck, real easy though:

G|—————15—14————————————————————————————————————||
D|————————————17—15—————————————————————————————||
A|——————————————————17—15———13—15—17————————————||
E|———————————————————————————————————13—15——————||
then back into the regular chorus part as above.
Have some fun with the parts, listen to how he
hammers or slides around a bit even within such
a constricted format.
