Unfortunately I've yet to acquire his album, so as of yet this is my favorite of his solo songs. The long title makes it a nightmare to archive in OLGA I'm sure...:-) It's relatively simple, and the ending reminds me of an old Verve song called "Gravity Grave", and bases itself on two repeating chords (F, Em). It's - almost - minimalist! :-) _Effects:_ Set delay to 40 ms, sounds about right. Flanger has much the same effect, with added effect that sounds a bit like speaker phasing. Less pedal-centric than other, earlier Verve songs, and the vocal occasionally drowns out the guitar... _Tuning:_ This song is played in standard tuning. (EADGBe). Define chords: Dm - XX0231 or 10,12,12,10,10,10 Em - XX2453 or 12,14,14,12,12,12 or 022000 Dm/F - 100231 F - XX3211 or 133211 or XX3565 E - 022100 or 12,14,14,13,12,12 C - X32010 or 8,10,10,9,8,8 _Rhythm:_ This song is played in 4/4 time. In the verse play two bars of each chord, and in the chorus it drops down to one bar per chord. Very simple stuff... Intro: G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 (With heavy reverb, delay or phase) Then: Dm, Em - 2 bars each Verse: Dm - 2 bars (How many...) Em - 2 bars (days have I...) x4 Chorus: F - 1 bar E - 1 bar Dm/F - 1 bar C - 1 bar a few times (depends on which verse) Then back to verse... End part: (Could be a country thing...) F - 1 bar E - 1 bar repeat...until end of song, whole sequence. You can visit my Spiritualized site at http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/electricity/index.html for more information. There is also a guitar tabs section where things like this are exchanged but as this is an Ashy tab it does not fit...
