play lots of 12th fret harmonics w/ heavy delay + whammy bar action w/ some open strings for good measure and a little bit of D--15---12------------------- C----------------------------

D------------------------------------------------------------- G------------------------------------------------------------- C------------------------------------------------------0------ like thurston, he does an increasingly more intense version of his riff for this section, then: D--8---10--- switch between these during 'whats yours is mine..' etc etc G--9----9--- C--0----0--- D--0----0--- G--0----0--- C--0----0--- then up to: D--15---17-- G--15---17-- switch between variants of those and then just get higher and more 'sonic' until it explodes C---0----0-- D---0----0-- G---0----0-- C---0----0-- end on something like: D------ G--12-- C--12-- D--12-- G--12-- C---0-- ------- KIM'S PART: i have to be honest, i don't understand Kim's part on this song at all... the tuning itself seems so bizarre.. it would make more sense if the D and G were switched but i'm told they're not.. so if it really is a low D right next to the low C, who knows... fortunately she only plays during the instrumentals after the chorus: G---------- D---------- A--12---8-- G--12---7-- D-------0-- back and forth between those chords C---0------ then: G---------------------------------- -------------- D---------------------------------- -------------- A---------------------------------- -------------- G--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--\12-10/-- repeat, then: --3-3-3-3-3-3- D---------------------------------- -------------- C---------------------------------- -------------- "everybody down" part: G------------ D------------ A------------ G--6-6-6-5--- D--5-5-5-5--- C--6-6-6-0--- i know there's gotta be more to it than that... would love to hear suggestions... ------------------------------------------------ THE SONIC YOUTH GUITAR/BASS TABLATURE ARCHIVE:
