"Mary Spins A Rainbow" -- Material Issue
Written by: Jim Ellison
Transcribed by: Mike Novak
This is an old song (circa 1987?) which doesn't appear on any of
their major label albums, but it's on an independent release (on
groovy blue vinyl!) from before they were signed. I'm guessing
at some of the lyrics, but they're pretty close.
[Intro:]
(clean)
e-----O--------O-------O--------O---
b---O--------O-------O--------O-----
g-2-----1-(1)----1-2-----1-(1)----1- etc.
d-----------------------------------
a-----------------------------------
e-----------------------------------
(tie) (tie)
Play that a few times, and then the strum throughout on Esus/E:
e---O---------O-----
b---O--O---O--O--O--
g---2--1---1--2--1-- etc.
d---2--2---2--2--2--
a---2--2---2--2--2--
e-------------------

End on a variation of the intro.

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 MATERIAL ISSUE 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.
