Subject: CRD: "Blue" by Elastica
"Blue" by Elastica
>From the album Elastica
transcribed by Patrick Glass (pglass@comp.uark.edu)
I learned this song from the acoustic demo on some B-sides (if you want
to know, it's on the "Connection" single in the UK, and the "Stutter"
single in Europe and Austrailia)
On the album version there's some really strange intro thing, and I don't
know how it goes. Basically, the whole song is 4 chords...
A, F, E, and D
wow, isn't that hard!
here's how it goes with the lyrics
A F
John's gone his sense is loaded
E D A
over by your house it's so basic
F E D
I think you're faking have a good time but don't get into my head
A F
Do you recommend I wait a while
E D
direct and live or keep it constant and selective
Chorus:
A
Blue
F E D
I can read your mind, if you want to I will let you
A
Blue
F E D
I can read your mind, if you want to I will let you
(after the chorus bit, on the album version, acoustic just repeats the
first verse)
A F E D
A F E D
John's gone, he needs attention do you understand his inclination?
A F E D
I've seen you shaking, comedown here and I'll show you the wrong way
A F F
try to rearrange this tired old line connect this smile and
D
keep it standard and reflective
Repeat chorus
End with the bridge
A F E(slow down here) D A

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 ELASTICA 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.
