FEMALE COP

by Thurston Moore
from Psychic Hearts

tabbed by Chris Lawrence (silvercircle@shaw.ca)

tuning: C G D G B B

the intro is just squeaky skronk noise + glorious waves of feedback

then one guitar keeps strumming open strings (almost sounds like he's just rapidly
rubbing his fingers over the strings rather than picking them) while Thurston plays the melody line:

B---------------------------------------5--
B---------------------------------------5--
G-----0--2--------------0---------------0-- strum that last chord furiously
D--3--------2-----2--3-----0---------------
G-----------------------------5--3------3-- play entire progression four times
C------------------------------------------

"i turned away for you" = all open strings except low C

repeat another verse, then for the next part the left speaker guitar (presumably Tim)
keeps playing the open strings w/ some trem bar action, while thurston plays this:

B---5-5-3---3-3-0--10-10-8--8-8-0--5-5-3--3-3-5-0--0-0-0-0------
B---5-5-3---3-3-0--10-10-8--8-8-0--5-5-3--3-3-5-0--0-0-0-0------
G---0-------------------------------------------4--4-4-4-4-4\2-- play twice then softly play open strings
D---0-----------------------------------------------------------
G---0----------------------------------------------------------- play open GDG strings throughout if you wish...
C---------------------------------------------------------------

both guitars softly play open strings, then Thurston starts playing this:

B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B---------0-------------0------------------0-------------0-----------------0-- etc etc
G-----0-------0-----0-------0----------0-------0-----0-------0---------0------
D-------0-------0-----0-------0----------0-------0-----0-------0---------0---- it's not an exact pattern
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C---7-------7-----7-------7------7-7\5-------5-----5-------5------5-5\7-------

while Tim plays harmonics across the 12th fret

Thurston keeps going between the 7th and 5th frets as above, while Tim switches to this:

B-------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------
C--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-- slowly bend the 7th fret up and back

aggressively go between those two notes a few times and the song ends.
