GUIDED BY VOICES - "Gleemer" Tablature
Official GUIDED BY VOICES Tablature & Sheet Music »

But, you ask, what about Gleemer? Well, here's my try:
It starts with G3 C3 D5 (all barre, the numbers are the frets for the
barre, DON'T play a D fifth). Then it goes to the verses:
G G* Em C
This G* is just a G with an F# (2nd fret, E string) in the bass, but I
can't play it with my thumb, so I hire a bassist. The chorus is the same,
and to get from the verses to the chorus, after the C go D C G and into the
chorus. I realize this probably makes little, if any, sense, but listen to
the album and you can probably figure it out (I actually got some help from
the Bevil Web version). I worked up a punk version of this with
powerchords, but it sounds really cheesy as a punk song, so don't try it at
home.
From Dougie:
Actually on Gleemer, I would like to add the following....
INTRO: Cmajor9 with suspension....ok make a G chord...now move your 1st and
2nd
fingers down one (ie your 2nd finger which is on 2nd fret/5th string...
move it down to 2nd fret 4th string....OK?)
Song: I play the following G Bm Em D
Then when "The higher clouds" I play: G G/F#M Em C
Then when Toby sings "Could this be...": G C D
End Riff: String:6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5
Fret :0 0 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 0
Try this riff anyway you would like...you could add String 6 Fret 4
instead of using S:6 and F:0...so start with S:6 F:2
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 GUIDED BY VOICES 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.
