------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAD - Mark Lanegan Band ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: inobscura Ok, this is a great song off the great Bubblegum album. The crux of it is a simple 3-chord progression: D-F-C-D. I discovered it, playing along using power chords, but I think it sounds much better using open chords. The main part, used in the intro, the pre-chorus and the chorus, sounds like it has some distortion and a little bit of overdrive. You can pretty much get away with playing the entire song, just using this: D F C D e|--2-----2-----2-2-1-1-----1---|--0--0--0-----0-0-2-2-----2----| | B|--3-----3-----3-3-1-1-----1---|--1--1--1-----1-1-3-3-----3----| | G|--2-----2-----2-2-2-2-----2---|--0--0--0-----0-0-2-2-----2----|x2| D|--0-----0-----0-0-3-3-----3---|--2--2--2-----2-2-0-0-----0----| | A|------------------3-3-----3---|--3--3--3-----3-3--------------| | E|------------------1-1-----1---|-------------------------------| | The verses are played on an electric keyboard. If you want to play it on guitar, try this. It's never going to sound the exact same on guitar, but it's close enough and will certainly suffice.
