Could use some help finding specific Piano music
« on: October 18, 2009, 03:30:40 AM »
More specifically, I've been trying to find a PIANO/KEYBOARD tab for a friend of mine. The song is called Can't Take It by the All American Rejects. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been wading through google for at least three hours and can't find anything but guitar tabs.

Give it a shot? Test out your 'dependable' source? You'll get a thanks in return  :)

I don't know the song but these sound close enough to get you into the ballpark.  I think it would sound pretty good on a keyboard with an orchestra or string ensemble sound for the first half of the song.

But I can't tell you that I've had enough

        D/A
I can't take it
     C                   D                 Em
This welcome is gone and I've waited long enough
   D/A
To make it
    C                       D                         C
And if you're so strong you might as well just do it alone
D
  And I'll watch you go

Em  C  Am7  D

Em           C
  Step up to me
  Am7                  D
I know that you've got something buried
Em             C
  I'll set you free
    Am7            D             Em
You set conditions but I've had enough

       
        D/A
I can't take it
     C                   D                 Em
This welcome is gone and I've waited long enough

Am        C                        G
Come back home won't you come back home

You step in line you've got a lot to prove
             C                    G
It comes and goes ya it comes and goes
          D                     Am
A step in time ya it's a lot to move
                    Bm
I know this will be temporary

I know this will be temporary
  Am
I know this will be

Those are guitar tabs, not piano tabs. Golfer, I've seen that particular page, but there should be more to it ie: left hand notes?

How would you write a piano tab? Now I'm curious lol. I thought all pianists could read music.

Theoretically anyone who plays an instrument or sings should be able to read a clef or two... however with example guitar there's tablature, I guess what I meant is that I thought you had to be able to read music to play piano, that there was no other way to write it (beside chord progressions)

I know a guy that can play ANY song I've ever heard, but he cannot read music.  Same for guitar.

I know, EJ.  I sat down at the keyboard having played the song once on Youtube and it got me in the ballpark.  If your pianist friend can play by ear without relying on sheet music as I mentioned it gets you close to where you want to be.

A keyboard player or pianist better than me, also as I said, would probably make it sound pretty good on a keyboard.

Oh, right on then. Thanks for the help, she'll be happy with this.
