----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead On the Floor (Acoustic Version) - Alkaline Trio - This Addiction D# Standard/Half a step down (D#G#C#F#A#D#) Arranged/Tabbed By Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the chords for the acoustic of 'Dead On the Floor' off Alkaline Trio's new album: This Addiction. It came out today and this song was one of my favourites. The band play it half a step down in the acoustic version, but you could play the electric version in standard tuning from these chords and it would sound fine. If you're playing this song solo, then ignore the tab parts, they're just there for if you got a second guitarist handy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *IMPORTANT* The chords used in this song are shown below, as I think the highlight chord diagrams are incorrect a lot of the time. Although in the recording the chords Matt uses are power chords, I've put in some chord variations that sound nice too, they'll give the song more feeling if you're playing on your own. Don't play the strings marked with an 'x' Power chords: E5 (022xxx) A5 (x022xx) B5 (x244xx) C#5 (x466xx) Variations: Emodal (079900) Asus2 (x02200) Bsus4 (x24400) C#m7 (x46600) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro Riff (Rhythm guitar chords displayed above in the appropriate places, although in the first riff, there is no rhythm guitar.)
