Subject: TAB(sort of): Feeling Better by Sugar
Because the song is a total mess of short bits repeated many times in
different orders, I tried to tab the short bits. Just listen to the
record and try to figure out the whole song , if you have patience. I
didn't. I numbered the parts from (1) to (6).
(1) (2)
------------------------------------ same -------------
------------------------------------ as -------------
13---13-----11-11---10--10----8-8--- (1), 10-11-10-8---
13---13-----11-11---11--11----9-9--- but 11-11-11-9---
11---11-----9--9----11--11----9-9--- ends 11-11-11-9---
--------------------9---9-----7-7--- with 9--9--9--7---
(3) (4)
------------------------------------- same ----
------------------------------------- as 7-9-
--------------11-11------------------ (3), 9-11
11--9--11--9--11-11-11--9--11(xx-xx-x-) but 9-11
11--9--11--9--9--9--11--9--11(xx-xx-x-) ends 7-9-
9---7--9---7--------9---7--9-(xx-xx-x-) with ----
play (3) 2 times, those x's are used
for the first time. It means: mute the strings.
(5) (6)
--9---4----6---- ---8-----6----------
---------------- ---9-----7-----6----
-8-8-6-6-----5-- -10-10-10-10--7--7--
6---4-----6----6 -10-10-10-10-8----8-
---------6------ 8-----6------8-----8
--------4------- ------------6-------
After the first three minutes there's a part like this, mostly just guitar:
(1) (1) (1)
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
4--------------- 4---6---4------- 4--------------- 4-------6---9---
6--------------- 6---8---6------- 6--------------- 6-------8---11--
6--------------- 6---8---6------- 6--------------- 6-------8---11--
4--------------- 4---6---4------- 4--------------- 4-------6---9---
An then, another three minutes of these short parts combined in strange
ways, with little guitar solo bits. I hope if this was of ANY assistance.

Tab(correct version): "Feeling Better" by Sugar
Written by Bob Mould, (c)1993 Granary Music
Transcribed by chubscout@aol.com
Note: This song is played with a capo on the 1st fret.
The tab is transposed to reflect that.
(i.e. a 1 on the B string will be C#, not C. Get it?)
Just follow along with the song, putting the bits and pieces together,
and you should figger it out.
Geez, Bob Mould can write some complex shit!

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 SUGAR 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.
