Blur - Far Out guitar tab

#

Far Out by Blur, from their triff album "Parklife"

This is a (rough) transcription of the cool synth part, not

the guitar part of this song, that has more than a passing

resemblance to Syd Barrett's style. The main melody is done

on the synth, so if you're playing solo this sounds a lot

better than the guitar part. Also you need loads of really

silly effects to do it well - or better still a guitar synth;

sadly I have neither. This transcription was considerably

aided by the sleeve insert on the album, which not only gives

the lyrics but the chords as well. Nice one.

I haven't done the guitar part at the start either; trying to

simulate a bongo roll a la Mission Impossible is a bit tricky

on one guitar.

Anyway, the song's mainly based around a C Eb progression.

The chorus is made up of 2 bars, an Ab Bb prog and an F prog

(see the lyric section for the order they come in), and

there's a little bridge part of Eb D after the first chorus.
