Jason Mraz - Geek in the Pink (acoustic)

montiac · Unread post by **montiac** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 2:20 pm

didn't really care for the song on the album(as with just about every song off either of his two studios), but i found an mtv.com acoustic performance of it that was pretty badass.

Code: Select all

Intro/Verse
e-6----------------------    ----
B-6-------7----6---------    ----
G-6---3---8----6---------    --5-
D-6---4---x----x---------    --6-
A-x---4---6----4---x--x--    --6-
E-6---2------------4--5--    --4-
                   ^ sometimes ^   

Chorus (pretty much the same, except for first line)
              ?
e-6---------------
B-6-------7---5---
G-6---3---8---5-2-
D-6---4---x---5-3-  the ? works, but doesn't quite sound right
A-x---4---6---3-3-
E-6---2---------1-
              ?
  "...if you want..."

e-6-------------------
B-6-------7---6-------
G-6---3---8---6---5---
D-6---4---x---x---6---
A-x---4---6---4---6---
E-6---2-----------4-5-
                  ^ end here to bridge

Bridge
      ?   ?
e--------------------------------------------  the 1st ? could be a type of E
B-------------------6-----------7--6~------2-  chord...the bass note ALMOST sounds
G-3---2---3------6----6---6--3--8--6~---2--3-  like an E.  if that's the case,
D-4---3---4----6---6----6----4--x--x~---3--x-  then the 2nd ? is an F for sure.
A-4---3---4------------------4--6--4~---3--1-  
E-2---1---2---6--------------2----------1----
      ?   ?                                ^ 4x

little trouble with the chords in "?"...if someone could help me out with those, that'd be awesome...

here's the video

i'm kind of proud of myself because this is the first time i've ever sat down and tried to tab out a song. i think i did aight.

Sounds good, bro. I haven't tried the bridge yet but everything else sounds close if not right. This is how I prefer listening to Mraz. Just him and Toca....

Toca is a lot bigger than I pictured him in my head

i didnt listen to the song.. but.. on identifying the chord based on the tab.. the first ? is DEF. an F major chord.. and the second is a F# major chord... that is, if you didnt tune down or capo or anything else.

.. unless im missing something.

ahh, that's not really what i meant. i knew the chord names of what i have posted, but what i really meant was i'm not sure if those are the chords that he's actually playing, and i needed a bit of help figuring those out

so yeah, it coulda been that you missed something ;-)

or maybe i was just about clear as mud(always a good possibility)

Can someone rip those somehow? My Mac won't let me play them...

Any1 see Mraz on one of the late night talk shows wearing a pink short with the letters: TPIMGF

Do you think that stands for Tristan Prettyman Is My Girl Friend?

I do, and this girl is way to hot for Mraz - I truly believe this is calculated image construction to get this girl noticed, but I could be wrong and I really do like Mraz's music.

pretty sure that's exactly what it stood for. it's not really image construction, they've been dating for a pretty long time now (year and a half or so?) and she's toured with him twice.

Smart gal, eh?

Although she is amazingly beautiful and that voice coupled with guitar skills = marry me.
