STYX - "sweet madam blue" Tablature
Official STYX Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: dan@saab.hwcae.az.Honeywell.COM (Dan Baderman)
Flash back time.... OK - I said it before but I need to repeat
this disclaimer - for those of you who want exact notes/timing -
get the recording. I learned this puppy off an 8-trk tape ~15? years
ago. I play the intro every once in a while when I'm fooling
around, and this is how I remember it. I'm not even sure what the
name is.... the request was for _Madam Blue_, but then during
correspondance wrote (sweet) Madam Blue... Anyways this is my
recollection:
Sweet Madam Blue (STYX)
(as per d.badermans hazy memory....)

Seems like I jump to 3/4 time for the next line - this is probably
not correct, so if you have a source, listen to it....

Weird notations:

V -> up strum
My brain hurts -someone else posted the following, and as I can't remember the
rest of the song, I will just include it. NOTE: I am sorry I have no idea who
submitted the following - it was forwarded to me without credits...

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 STYX 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.
