Body & Soul is another 2 stringer, like Alice. Actually, most of it is only one string, the two
strings come in later.
E{7-0-0-10-0-0-9-0-5-0-0-7-0-0-5-0-7-0-0-10-0-0-9-0-5-0-0-7-0-0-12-0-}
That was the main riff, the chorus thang follows:
E{7---10---9--5---7---5--7---10---9--5---7---12}
(Let the notes hang)
Then theres that middle part, which is a bunch of harmonics on the 12th fret that I can't
recall at this point in time (I once knew the whole song, but the band I'm in now isn't
exactly hot on the gothic scene)
The only part of the solo I remember is from the No Time to Cry bootleg, so it probably isn't
exactly what the studio version is
E{--12--14--15---15------}
B{12-12--12-----12-12-15-14}
-- X4 --
The bass part varies more, and is fun to play.
Intro&middle sequence(w/ all the harmonics):
A}-----7-----------5-----------3-----}
E}5-7--5-----3-5---3----1-3-3-----5-3-1-0-----}
In the middle part, the first 5-7-5 secquence is not played the first time through.
The main part:
D{--------4----------}
A{0-2-2-2-0-2-2-5-2}
Bass part at end of song:
D{2-0-2-0----0-0-}
A{--------2-------2-}
Note: These tabs are not neccesarily the easiest way to play these, just the simplest. And
besides, I'm sure there are some errors. Any corrections would be welcome, as well as
more tab (especially Some Kind Of Stranger!)

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 SISTERS OF MERCY 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.
