ENjoy for now love madsun last updated: 6/22/98 ------ THURSTON'S PART tuning: F# F# F# F# E B (.046, .046, .026, .026, .017, .014) after lee begins his part, strum: B---2--| E---2--| F#--0-- F#--0-- F#--0-- F#--0-- verse: B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| F#--------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5---| F#--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5---| F#--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0----------------------------------| F#--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0----------------------------------| Thurston's gtr here is really buried and dirty sounding, he might be playing additional melody notes along w/ the rhythm, it's hard to tell... after verse: LISTEN TO LP FOR TIMING OF TREM PICKING B-------------------------------------| E---------------------------------5---| "come back to me a while" F#---10---11---12---16---20\------4---| F#---10---11---12---16---20\------3---| F#------------------------------------| F#------------------------------------| then: B--------------------------------| E--------------------------------| F#-------------------------------| F#-------------------------------| F#--0-0-0-X-X-0-0-X-X-0-3\5-5-5--| F#--0-0-0-X-X-0-0-X-X-0-3\5-5-5--| then: TREM PICK ALL NOTEs......
