SONG: Drive
ARTIST: Incubus
TRANSCRIBED BY: Brendan Cox (sicTallica666)
Hey people, this is an awesome song that’s easy to play. This tab is pretty close to what Mike
plays, but u gotta listen carefully to the CD to get it all right. Parts of this tab I found
in a mag but were all over the place and hard to understand and also did not include the solo
so this is a combination of my work and whoever tabbed it for the mag so partial credit to
them, but there is nothing in here that was purely by them I’ve made changes to everything. m/m/
MAIN RIFF (played in verse and chorus
|------0-0-xx-------------------------------------------|
|------8-8-xx---7------5-5-xx---------------------------|
|------0-0-xx---7------4-4-xx---------------------------|
|----9-9-9-xx---5------5-5-xx---5-5---------------------|
|-------------7---5--3----------------------------------|
|--0--------------------------5-------------------------|
i’ve seen heaps of interpretations of this main riff that all sound decent but this is the
right way to play it, remember, listen closely to the cd.don’t play the bass notes in the
verse.

look I’m too lazy to figure out all the places this goes but this riff is thrown in every so
often and you’ll hear it when it is and this is how it’s played
SOLO (use vibrato effect, or just a clean and heavily vibrato all the notes)

after the solo play the pre-chorus then the chorus for the rest of the song. This song sounds
best with an acoustic and an electric playing. If u got any questions, comments or corrections
