Cake- Frank Sinatra
Album: Fashion Nugget
This is a great band and a great song so have fun with it. There are a
whole lot of special effects that go on during it which I haven't included
but this is the basic song. The chord progression is the same throughout.
Enjoy!
Dm
We know of an ancient radiation that
Gm
haunts dismembered constellations
C A
A faintly glimmering radio station
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather
The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs form on an old skipping record
Beyond the suns that guard this roost
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths
Beyond your latest ad campaigns
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps
He saves what others throw away, he says that he'll be rich someday
We know of an ancient radiation that
haunts dismembered constellations
A faintly glimmering radio station
Solo
We know of an ancient radiation that
haunts dismembered constellations
A faintly glimmering radio station
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather
The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs form on an old skipping record

The chords can go under the whole song, but they're only played under
a couple verses:
Em C G B7
E-|--0-------0-------3-------2-----
B-|--0-------1-------0-------0-----
G-|--0-------0-------0-------2-----
D-|--2-------2-------0-------1-----
A-|--2-------3-------2-------2-----
E-|--0---------------3-------------
The little riff the elctric guitar plays after the first line of
lyrics:
E-|--2-2h3-3-3-2---
B-|--0-0---0-0-0---
Then they play a riff under the last verse before the solo:
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
D-|----------------------------------------------1~--------------------
A-|----------------3~-----------2~-------------------------------------
E-|-0~-----2---3--------2---3----------2-2-1-0-------------------------
The solo:
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G-|-----------------------0~-------------------------------------------
D-|-------2~-----------------------------------------------------------
A-|-2-2-2-------2---2-2-2-------2---2-2-2-3~--------------3--2--0------
E-|---------------------------------------------3---3-3-3----------3---
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
D-|------------------5~------------4~----------------------------------
A-|-----0h2---3sl5-5---------2-0-2-------------------------------------
E-|-3------------------------------------5-55-55-55-555--333333333333--
The rhythm's not right in
here, but you get the idea.
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
A-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
E-|-77777777777777777888888888888887777777-7777-777-7-77-7-7-7---7-----
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G-|-5-4-2-0------------------------------------------------------------
D-|---------4~---------------------------------------------------------
A-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, after the break, there's this variation on the earlier riff,
played over and over to fade out:
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------------------
A-|----------------3~-----------2~-------------1~----------------------
E-|-0~-----2---3--------2---3----------2---0----------0---2---0--------
Then there's the high end guitar over this in the outro. I have no
idea. If you do, email me. Enjoy!

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 CAKE 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.
