Tame Impala - Music To Walk Home By Tab


Until 0:38, it's not very clear whether there is guitar or not. From there on,

There is this part we'll call the verse:

D 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 x x 7 x x 9

Return to the first verse. After that, there is this 'strange' part where

some synth comes in, pitch turns up or something. Then: 'I just don't know...'
d 7 7~ 7 9~
A 9 7~ 9 9~
F 8 8~ 8 9~
C 9 9~ 9 7~
G 7 9~ 7
D 7~
Repeated a lot of times, until: 'You're no sun (?)...'
d
A 9 7
F 9 7
C 9 7
G 7 5
D
Also repeat a lot of times, the synth does something like this (second one is variation):
d
A 9h10p9h10p9h10h12p10h12p10 9h10p9h10p9h10h12p10h12/14\12~
F 11~
C
G
D
Then, the synth changes, so do the chords:
d 3 3 2 2
A 5 3 3 2
F 6 4 4 2
C
G
D
When the synth stops (around 3:19), he fingerpicks the chords, all three string at the same time
d 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
A 5 5 5 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
F 6 6 6 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
C
G
D
Again repeat it a couple of times. Then, the drums stop and the guitar is something like this:
d
A
F
C
G 7 6 6 6 9 7 7 7 7 6 6
D 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9 7h9
d
A
F
C
G 6 9
D 7h9 7h9
d 7 7~ 7 9~
A 9 7~ 9 9~
F 8 8~ 8 9~
C 9 9~ 9 7~
G 7 9~ 7
D 7~
Repeat this one until the end. I think the synth follows the vocal lines:
d
A 9 10 9 7~ 7 5 4 5~ \2~
F
C
G
D

Also, the end riff.

d
A
F
C
G 6 7 6 6 6 7 6
D 9 9 7~ 9 9 7 5~
