SONG: MUCH AGAINST EVERYONES ADVICE
ARTIST: SOULWAX
LYRICS & MUSIC: Stephen & David Dewaele
TABBED BY: Luke Veasey (In Part)
I've seen several versions of this song tabbed out on the net and they're all either
Wrong or incomplete so I cannibalized the bits that were right and filled in the
Missing gaps and so I give you the most accurate guide to playing this song (at least
until someone corrects my mistakes).
This song uses drop D tuning (DADGBe). You'll need to listen to the song to get
the timing. I've included the lyrics as a general outline to show you what goes where.
I recommend a light/moderate distortion (gain 4) and a guitar with humbuckers set to
bridge position (eliminating any unwanted extra bass) this even sounds good on a small
practice amp also if you have a Casio keyboard one of the preset rock rhythms will give
you a good approximation of the drum machine at the begining of the song.
So get out your guitars and pastel coloured seventies suits and have fun.

..........'Im trying to comprehend the things i write.....'
Just repeat different sections as necessary I haven't shown you where everything goes
because it could confuse things but its pretty is easy to see where it all fits.
Lyrics
******
I seem to have a history
at missing the point
at this stuff
apparently
very absentmindedly
I care
but never enough
for
you
Tiiiiiiiime-to set the record straight
Tiiiiiiiime-to stop communicating
please anticipate
And I'm trying to comprehend the things I write
and I'm living the lie that I cannot satisfy
Much against everyone's advice
I'm still trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Faith
cheated me of everything
but I laughed until
I stopped
publicity
very, very openly
I sat alone with my thoughts
for
...
you
Tiiiiiiiime-to set the record straight
Tiiiiiiiime-to stop communicating
please anticipate
And I'm trying to comprehend the things I write
and I'm living the lie that I cannot satisfy
much against everyone's advice
I'm still trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
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 SOULWAX 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.
