SUGAR - "the slim" Tablature
Official SUGAR Tablature & Sheet Music »
The Slim - Sugar (Mould)
tuning: (low to high) E A E A A E
(tune 2nd string B down to A, 3rd string G up to the same A, 4th string D
up to E. Be careful of high tension if you use heavier gauge strings,
acoustic, etc)
Alternate tuning: E A D G A E (this requires less retuning, but the
chords are harder, and the solo is harder to get right. this could also
be played in standard tuning with power chords, but I think the droning
high E and A are important to the sound (your mileage may vary))
Chord Shapes (I figured these out, so they might not be right)
(I know they're not major chords, but for convenience I just named each
chord by its root)

repeat each section in bars twice (listen to the song for reference)
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.
