WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Cake - Opera Singer Tabs | Ver. 2
Tuning: Standard
Ok I'd say this tab is about 85% correct. There are a lot of chords
that took me a while to figure out in the song, but I think I'm
pretty close. I can promise you that this is closer than just about
anything else you'll find for this song on the internet without having
to download cr*p.
This song is in the key of E.
Beginning lick:
e--------------------------9-------------------------------------7----------|
b-----------7-7-9p7-9-9/10---9p7-9-7~-------------7-7-9p7-9-9/10---9p7------|
g-8-8-9p8-9-----------------------------8-8-9p8-9----------------------9-8~-|
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This is the part I'm the most unsure of, but it's still pretty close.

At the end of each verse this is played:

g-----------------------------------------|
d-----------------------------------------|
a-----------------------------------------|
E-0-2-4-2-0-2-0---0-2-4-2---0-2-4-2-0-2-0-|
During the chorus they just play fills(which I couldn't hear well
enough to tab out), but these are the main chords.
B A E
I...singer. I...foreign lands
e--------------------------|
b--------------------------|
g------------------------9-|
d-9------------7---------9-|
a-9------------7---------7-|
E-7------------5-----------|
And that covers the entire song. Just apply these parts to the
appropriate sections of the song.
