G-------0----------0---------------------------- G----------------------------------------------- first change (1:59) A----------------------------------------------- G----------0----------------------------------- this part is extremely hard to hear, so, you A-------0-------------0-----2------------------ could probably play just about anything D-----0------------0--------------------------- close to this, and it would be cool... G--0------------O------------------------------ G---------------------------------------------- second change (2:14) part starting with "I'll wait...." A----------------------- G----------------------- after this portion, lee plays a cool solo that you can noodle with A----------------------- D----------------------- G--5/7--------7\5----0-- G--5/7--------7\5----0-- towards the end of this section, lee plays this little part: A-------7-----7\5--------3-------- G-------0-----0----------0-------- A-------7-----7\5--------3-------- D-------0-----0----------0-------- G-------0-----0----------0-------- G--------------------------------- third change (3:31) when T plays that ascending riff, lee chimes in from time to time with a figure like this: A------------------------------------ G------------------------------------ play this part a few times with delay A--10-----9-----10-----9------7------ D------------------------------------ G------------------------------------ G------------------------------------ fourth change (4:07) A------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A----------------9---9\7----------------------9----9/7--------------------9\7/10------------ D--7---9---12------------------7---9-----12-----------------7---9----12--------------------- G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- play that line until the break, which starts at 4:58. at that point, lee stays pretty much quiet, except for some occasional harmonics or string scraps (w/ delay and phaser) but, at 5:31 of the break, lee starts playing the line from the fourth change (look above) until 6:00, when he starts this little line A-------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------- this line is played for a short while, until it A-----15-----14---12^-----10----------- just breaks down into the intro again...where lee D-------------------------------------- plays his original part, as well as some whammy G-------------------------------------- stuff around the third fret..... G-------------------------------------- when the verse comes back in, lee just plays some phased string scraps...... and that's it.... ------------------------------------------------ THE SONIC YOUTH GUITAR/BASS TABLATURE ARCHIVE: http://www.islandnet.com/~mustang/tab/index.html ------------------------------------------------
