Jmitchell - Sex Kills 2 guitar tab

SEX KILLS - Joni Mitchell

---------------------------------------

From the album Turbulent Indigo

tabbed by Howard Wright

H.Wright@uk.ac.cf.astro

This is quite an easy one in some senses - only a few shapes to

learn - but I find it bloody hard to play those shapes !!!

If you've got slim fingers you'll be fine, if you havn't and

you have trouble fretting the 4 middle strings on the same fret

while leaving top and bottom strings open, then you'll have to

work on it a bit.....

This is tabbed from memory - I havn't actually heard the new

album yet !!! - but Joni did two songs from it on TV a while

ago and I videoed them and this was one of them.

I'm pretty hazy on the words - if someone wants to send them

to me, I'll put together a complete TAB with all the words too.

As it is, I've put in words where I can remember them and left

gaps elsewhere.

It's a while since I played the video, so I don't think there are

any extra middle eights that I left out - but if I have missed

out a section then let me know !

The tuning for this is ( low to high ) : D A C F G C

As usual, I'll just TAB out the shapes. The strumming style for

most of it has the bass note played first, then the other

strings are strummed a bit, though certain notes are picked out

from these - especially the notes from the top two strings.

You'll have to check with the record to get it spot on, but

it might look something like this for the intro :

Intro :

For the Intro these two shapes are repeated a couple of times

From now on I'll just give the shapes ....
