SLOAN - Sugartune
From: Smeared
Tabbed by: Mark Wiebe, rwiebe@mindlink.bc.ca
[lyrics removed -- see diet-olga policy]
This song has already been posted by someone else but it's
totally wrong, so I thought I'd put my own version on. I'm
glad to see that there are some other Sloan fans out there
in cyberspace. They were a great band while they lasted. Tell
me if you have any comments, corrections, or suggestions. Thanks.
Tuned down about a half step Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (It doesn't
seem like it's quite on the exact pitch, so you might have
to fool around with you're tuning pegs a bit to match it.)
During A, B, C# part of Fig.1 part the second guitar sometimes
picks the notes of the chords rather than strumming them.

.....sugartune....by sloan
if you don't know sloan, they are (were) a cool Canadian band
that just recently broke up. ):
here's the song sugartune from their first album "smeared" (go buy
it) It's pretty easy, mostly power chords, I don't have some
parts, so if you like sloan help me out.
For people who have never heard this song before I put in the beat
values, for the intro atleast.
Play with distortion, I think there's another guitar playing some-
thing but I have no idea what.

...that's all I have so far, it's the basic song. There's a couple
fills missing, but there not that hard to figure out...
my first tab, hope you enjoy it.....

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 SLOAN 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.
