Notes:
Riffs 4 and 5 are played as backing on the First and Last and Always
disc, and they're also played by a keyboard. However, on the
"Knocking on Heaven's Door" bootleg, at least, the lead guitar plays
them. If you only have one guitar and no keyboard, they add a little
variety to an otherwise very repetivitve song. (If you listen closely
to the studio version, you can pick up the rhythm.)
Bass riff (a) is what's actually played. However, Frank does the
vocals as well as bass, and riff (a) is a little too complicated to
play while singing, so he plays (a) when he's not singing, and
switched between (b) and (c) when he is. I'm too busy with the guitar
to pay attention to which he plays when.
Here's how I play it:
Intro:
1 1 2 3a 3b 3a 3c
1 1 2 3a 3b 3a 3c
1 1 2 3a 3b 3a 3b
4 4 4 5
1 1 2 3a 3b 3a 3c
1 1 2 3a 3b 3a 3c
1 1 2 3a 3b 3a 3b 3a 3b 3a 3b
4 4 4 5
6 (or repeat 4 4 4 5 to fade)
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.
