Handsome and Gretel
by Babes in Toyland, from the album Fontanelle.
Transcribed by Barrett Lady
I already looked at the tab posted on OLGA, and it isn’t finished. Here’s
the complete way to play “Handsome and Gretel”, including the bridge.
opening/closing verse/verse
3: 7 99 55 2 7 99 55 2 7 99 55 2 7 99
2: 7 99 55 2 7 99 55 2 7 99 55 2 7 99
1: 5 77 33 0 5 77 33 0 5 77 33 0 5 77
(verses before the chorus are the same, except they end in
3: 55 2
2: 55 2
1: 33 0 get it?)
chorus:
3: 22~~12/12/12
2: 22~~12/12/12
1: 00
(when you slide, stretch it out as far as it’ll go. It can be a very
sexy/sleazy/tense little slide, when you hesitate with the slide.)
bridge:
1: 0 232 353 23 5653 0 232 353 23 5653 (etc, etc)
that's basically it. As far as I can tell, this is the way it’s played on
Fontanelle. Perhaps there's a mistake, or a difference here or there, but
I actually think this is pretty accurate. This is all my own doing, I would
like to add,
so if I screwed up, go on and bitch me out.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BABES IN TOYLAND tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
