Chord/Tab song: Soon

Subject: m/my_bloody_valentine/soon.crd

'Soon' by My Bloody Valentine (K.Shields)

TAB by Jon Eyre, [email protected]

DISCLAIMER: This is by no means perfect...

To achieve a sound similar to that on 'Loveless', take the following
tab, add an Akai S9000 sampler, a load of compression, reverb and sundry
other effects, drums, bass, vocals, mix it in a pot, garnish lightly
with overdubs and and cook for 40 minutes at gas mark 6...

VERSE

The basic riff, which appears in the intro, and I suppose ought to be
called the verse:

D-4--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-
A-4--4--4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- Repeat for a bit
E-2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-

CHORUS

By process of elimination, this bit must be the chorus. It's the bit
with vocals over the top of chord changes:

[F#sus2] [Esus2] [F#] [Asus2] [Bsus2] [E] [F#] [Esus2] [F#sus2] [Esus2] [F#]

e----------------2----0-----2----0---2--------------------2--
B-----9-----7----2----0-----2----0---2---7-----9-----7----2-- Back
G-----11----9----3----2-----4----1---3---9-----11----9----3-- Into
D-----11----9----4----2-----4----2---4---9-----11----9----4-- The
A-----9-----7----4----0-----2----2---4---7-----9-----7----4-- Basic
E-----9-----7----2---------------0---2---7-----9-----7----2-- Riff

THE NOODLY FLUTE LINE BIT

Which isn't actually a flute, but either a sampled guitar or voice...

e-----9----11-------9---11-11-
B--11---11----11-11---11------

Make of that what you will. If anyone out there has ANY MBV tab,
puhhh-leeea-ssse-eeee send me a copy. Cheers.
