'Underwhelmed' by Sloan
from the album Smeared
(Sorry kids; no lyrics included because I don't remember
'em & I don't have the album anymore).
chords (from low E to high E)
A - x02220
Asus2 - x02420
B - x24442
E - 022100
F# - 244322
The song starts with a chunky (palm-muted) F#.
The verse chord progression is F# - Asus2 - B, with
a slight variation on the F#...
--2--2--2--2--2---0--0---2--2----
--2--2--2--2--2---2--2---4--4----
--3--3--3--3--3---4--4---4--4----
--4--4--4--2--4---2--2---4--4----
--4--4--4--2--4---0--0---2--2----
--2--2--2--2--2------------------
The chorus is A - E - F#. Only variation is an A - B
progression after the 'i just ate my young' vocal.
There are several Chuck Berry-style blues scale slurs
in F# during some of the verses that go something like
this:
-------------2-2-----
---4-(5)-4---2-2-----
---4-(5)-4-----------
---------------------
---------------------
---------------------
..and theres an octave riff at the end similar to this, if
I remember correctly:
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
--11-11-11-11--14--14--16--16-----
----------------------------------
---9--9--9--9--12--12--14--14-----
----------------------------------

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.
