Song: Kotton Krown
Artist: Sonic Youth
Album: Sister (also found on Screaming fields of Sonic Love)
I found this on the (now defunct) website www.evol.org. It was
originally tabbed by Nollie.
Intro:
I think the horn-like intro is played by Kim on bass. To me it sounds
like she plays a note and then uses the volume knob to make the note
go quiet and then loud again. I am pretty sure the last note she plays
is open D but am unsure of the first note.
Main riff:
Eb------------------------------------------------------
Eb------------------------------------------------------
D -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------
D -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------
G ---0--------------------------------------------------
G ---0--------------------------------------------------
Bridge: (just chords, no strumming shown)
Eb--------------------------
Eb-------------------------- The fourth (last) time you play
D --5---12---10---8--------- this riff instead of playing 8
D --5---12---10---8--------- play 10 and bend it.
G --5-----------------------
G --5-----------------------
I think I may confuse you with the next part. Play riff A first, then
riff B, then riff A, then barre at the 5th fret (like at the start of
the start of the above riff) listen to CD and it should make sense.
Riff A Riff B
Eb--------------------|---------------------------------
Eb--------------------|---------------------------------
D --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------
D --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------
G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------
G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------
Then strum the open D strings for a while before playing:
just chords
Eb---------------------
Eb---------------------
D ---10-----8----------
D ---10-----8----------
G ---------------------
G ---------------------
Then play the part with riff A and B before starting the main riff
again. At the end of the song the music just fades away.
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 SONIC YOUTH 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.
