Subject: Slim tabs wishes granted
Here's my version, hope you like it:
The chord changes are rather simple, it's pretty much a drone chord with
a walking bass-line.
This is the verse, like I say, a drone chord with a descending bass line
(The notes above the tab is the bass note)
1/3 2/4
A/E C B G D
||e---O---|---O---|---O---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||b---O---|---O---|---O---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||g---4---|---4---|---4---| |---4---|| ||---7---||
||d---2---|---X---|---X---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||a---O---|--h3---|---2---| |---X---|| ||---5---||
||E---X---|---X---|---X---| |---3---|| ||---X---||
The first and third times through, the riff goes to the 'G', whilst the
second and third times, it slides up to the 'D' bit.
An example (using the bass notes to deliniate the changes):
A/E C B
Do you know Where you're going
G
Do you know where you've been
A/E C B
Is it simple? Is it simple
D
The chances seem so slim
Etcetera... (pardon, but I can't remember the lyrics. I apologise for
any lyrical bollocksings up). Now, the chorus:
The chords are (yes, dearies, real chords for the chorus!):
Fmaj7 Em Emaj C9 Dsus2
||e---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---||
||b---1---|---O---|---O---|---3---|---3---||
||g---2---|---O---|---1---|---O---|---2---||
||d---3---|---2---|---2---|---2---|---O---||
||a---3---|---2---|---2---|---3---|---O---||
||E---X---|---O---|---O---|---X---|---X---||
So, here's how it works:
Fmaj7 Em Em-h-Emaj
Iiiiiiiiiii'm Left behind
Fmaj7 Em Em-h-Emaj
Left behind, left behind It's a matter of time
Fmaj7 Em Em-h-Emaj
Your protection from injection My projection
C9 Dsus2
Ejected from the slide Ejected from the slide
And that's all folks. Listen to the record for the form (verse chorus
verse, as a great man once said), and at the fade out, marriage bit at
the end, play the verse chord sequence, but don't go up to the 'D' bit,
keep repeating the riff with the 'G' ending! Have loadsa fun...
Tara,
Sean
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.
