"Bitch School" by SPINAL TAP
This is the first single from the Spinal Tap album "Break Like The Wind".
The opening riff is just based on the open A and D chords:
A D5
---------------
-2--2---2-3----
-2--2---2-2----
-2--2---2-0----
-0--0---0------
---------------
This is repeated till the line "You won't behave the way a big girl should"
when this chord sequence occurs.
E F#m G
For the chorus it is just a permutation of the opening riff with a slightly
different timing for the first two chords.
For the bridge with lyrics "No more sniffing strangers..."
2X 2X 1X
----------!-----------!----------!
----------!-----------!----------!
----------!-----------!----------!
-5-5--3---!-7-7--5----!-9-9--7---!
-3-3--1-3-!-5-5--3-5--!-7-7--5-7-!
--------1-1--------3--!--------5-!
The not terribly devastating solo goes like this:
s
------------------------------------!
------------------------------------!
-----2-4b(6)--4b(6)-4b(6)r(4)-2--7\-!
--2h4-------------------------------!
------------------------------------!
------------------------------------!
----------------------------------------------!
----------------------------14-------------15-!
-------14-16b(18)-16b(18)------(18)r16-14-----!
--14h16---------------------------------------!
----------------------------------------------!
----------------------------------------------!
Note: b - is for bend
The brackets are for the note to bend to.
r - is for return from bend
\ - means slide down.
Also at the end during the 'G-chord' & lyrics "You will come a little faster
,thanks too ..", this is just a bar in 5/4. The next bar for the chorus is
back to 4/4.
And remember, "Tap into TAP"
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 SPINAL TAP 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.
