Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight
Transcribed by Travis Lausch
Notes: THIS IS NOT A BASS TAB. READ THIS BEFORE RATING.
Rather than being played on a standard 6-string guitar, Rick Nielsen plays "Heaven Tonight" on an 8-string
double-coursed instrument called a mandocello, and this particular mandocello used in the song is one built
for him by Hamer guitars, in the shape of a Gibson Explorer. The result is a four-course, eight-stringed
instrument tuned in fifths like a mandolin, but starting from a bass C like a cello. While I've kept this tab
for a four-string mandocello for accuracy's sake, you can play this on a standard 6-string guitar by tuning
the four lowest pitched strings to the same tuning, and do whatever you want with the two highest strings
since you won't be using them. I tune mine down a whole step since I adapted this tuning from a guitar that
was already in drop-C. Fingerings were partly figured out by watching live footage.

These should be all the parts you need to learn to play the song. On the studio version, a lot of the other
instrumentation is handled by strings, harpsichord, and brass, but in the same live footage, Robin Zander is
playing it all on a (very out-of-tune) 12-string electric guitar, but his parts are incredibly difficult to
hear in the footage, so I could not transcribe it. Also in the live version, Rick switched to a regular Ibanez
Iceman guitar during the psychedelic bridge and plays traditional lead guitar parts over the final verse. This
is not present in the studio version.
Legend:
> = accent (play loud enough to overdrive amp)
( ) = note tied from previous measure (I actually tried to indicate barlines where they are for timing's sake)
