Bullet Girl

                      Bm

a barre slide to the  G  [ 5 5 5 X X X ] ( or more tricky [ 5 5 0 4 (0) (0) ] )
                   Asus4 [ X 0 2 2 3 0 ] (replacing the D/A)
                      D

                    D/F#

                    Bm/E

You can take the picking you like mostly everything can fit but
I suggest starting by strumming the bass string first.
On the tape John turns around the F# string a lot, just saying.
Tuning: Open D (major) [ D A D F# A D ]
Chords:
 Bm7  [ 9 X 0 0 0 0 ] / [ 9 X 0 12 0 0 ] / [ 9 X 0 0 12 0 ] (Both played next to each other is more dynamic)
 D/G

 D/A

 D

 D/F#

 Bm/E [ 2 2 0 0 2 0 ] -or- [ 2 2 0 0 0 0 ] for Bm7/E
There is 2 main melodic riffs in this song one at the vibraphone [riff I]
and the other at the guitar [riff II] that I wrote next to each other here.
Just play the finger positions of the chords above with the picking below
and you can add any of the 0 you'd like to play in between all the sequences
or the bass note to fulfill the sound, everything fits in the harmonies
and it's a lot better when it's played freely.

  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +      played live for sure

                Bm7                   D/G     D/A     D

Wish I could just get a grip on the hourglass of time
               Bm7                    D/G    D/A    D
