Suha
"Hmmm. I'm a bit iffy on this one, but I came up with a couple of versions of Suha - if your friend has a guitar or something, give it a shot with two. I use the following chord shapes to get the best replication of the sounds...

Chords:
C#m - 446654
B - 799877
E - 779997
G# - 668886

First or only guitar plays C#m and B during verses like this (listen to the record, especially the intro, for a better idea)

C#m
Black lung got you down
B
To - night

and the chorus is:

E
Hate my body
G#
Hate my chil - dren
B
Please let me escape

When will I be going home?

If you have a second guitarist around, or want a more sparse sound, I have a powerchord version. Get your second guitarist (or yourself) to play these chords in substitution for the ones above. I actually think powerchords sound better for the first verse than full chords. I've been using

C#: x466xx
B : x244xx
E : x799xx
G#: x688xx

Hmmm. But in the chorus, you can almost add a slide up from the B to a C# and back again. Listen to the sax solo to get an idea of what I mean.

Hope this is of use to someone. If you've got anything to add, email [e-mail] or just post it here"

huh, i didn't think to do helsabot with a capo. good idea though.

i was just doing a straight d major - b minor - f# minor - a major thing.

and for the fancy line:

E--------------5----------------------------------------------------
B-----------------7------------------2-3-2------------------------
G--------------------7--------4------------------------------------
D----4-7-------------------4--------------------------------------
A--5---------------------2-----------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------3-2-----------------------------------------------------
B---------------2--------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------------------
D------4------------------------4---------------------------------
A----0---------------------4-7----4------------------------------
E--2---------------------5----------------------------------------

disclaimer: worked out from memory, so there is double room for error in both what the exact song goes like and what my transcribing is like. should be pretty close, though."

" Oh man! I can't beleive I never posted it! I emailed Jamie a couple of times, and I asked him how to play it... He replied...

"the chords for FM are (capo on the 3rd fret)

verse C / only the 2nd fret on the A string, so it is like an Em but only with the lowest fingered note/ then G without the highest G note played just let it ring open, so you are only fingering 2 notes

CH C/Bm7/G 13 (play a very high C)

all the notes written are as they would be without a capo"

Hope it helps. It's a nice one to pull out at parties..."

[Hendrick]

Pox(live, but works enough for album version)

This is a pretty bad tab but oh well:
Verse
D 9 7
A 9 7
E 7 5
when you switch is pretty obvious, occasionally the second part has a
12
12
10 slide up at the beginning, middle and end.
Chorus
2
2
0 or something along those lines, I'm pretty sure the verse is right, the chorus might be. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to tell.

[bignothing]

yo, thanks so much.

[philipjames]

the bass tab is pretty easy for "i luv the valley" (if you couldnt figure it out yourself)

E 12s3-8s10

then

E 12s3-10s8

s= slide

[EVan Mallett]

I LUV THE VALLEY, OH!

For the guitar-chorus type thing, it sounds better to do a little something like...

G|-12--11-11--9--11----7--|
D|--x---x--x--x---x----x--|
A|-10---9--9--7---9----5--|

G|-12--11-11--9--11---12--|
D|--x---x--x--x---x----x--|
A|-10---9--9--7---9---10--|

G|-12--11-11--9--11--16---14-\12--12-|
D|--x---x--x--x---x---x----x-\-x---x-|
A|-10---9--9--7---9--14---12-\10--10-|

What's the strum pattern for Fabulous Muscles (album version)? I can't seem to get it, but the chords posted here are right. Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

[kevin]

im sorry but people who ask the pattern to strum to a song freak me out. try playing it on your stereo and playing along with it? its just 3 chords, C, Em, G over and over
