BUTTERGLORY - "cactus" Tablature
Official BUTTERGLORY Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: Ben Freeman <toofless@eden.rutgers.edu>
This is my tab for CACTUS by BUTTERGLORY off of their CRUMBLE lp on
Merge Records. It uses two guitars, here are both parts. I think that
they are both right; but my ear still relatively sucks so please forgive
errors; send any comments or "bug" fixes to me-

EASY GUITAR PART:
Strum the G major E shape bar chord (tab from low to high: 355433 )
and slide down to the F major E-shape bar chord (133211) then slide
back up, then down. Alternate in rhythm between these for the whole song.
"HARD" GUITAR PART: This is played over the EASY GUITAR PART
on a different track or by someone else if you have any friends. There
are 2 obviously identifiable sections, the CHORUS which mirrors the vocals,
and the VERSE NOTES which actually accompany them.
CHORUS:
(all instrumental)
Play: I - I - II - I

VOCALS:
1 when the rainfall started you were on the road
2 you packed up everything and the rest was sold
3 and I saw you drivin through the rain
4 but it made no difference everything was the same
5 when you got to phoenix you found a hotel
6 you watched the sunset you were feeling swell
7 ** I can't decipher this lyric. Sorry. Your option!
If you figure it out email me.
8.you were still smiling no one knew your dream
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 BUTTERGLORY 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.
