Elastica

Elastica - Line Up guitar tab

Line Up - Elastica (on the album 'Elastica')

Tabbed by Steve Morley.

Okay, this one has two distinct guitar parts, plus a killer bass line...

The lyrics are easy to make out - plus someone else has posted them, so here's the music!

Guitar part 1: This is played more-or-less all the way thru

'A'-shape bar chords

B, D, C#, E, G (yes, on the 10th fret!)

Guitar part 2:

[------------------][------------------]

[--8--------8------][-13-------13------]

[----10-------10---][----11-------11---]

[-----9-9------9-9-][----12-12----12-12]

[------------------][------------------]

[------------------][------------------]

x2 x2

[------------------][------------------]

[-12-------12------][-15-------15------]

[----10-------10---][----13-------13---]

[----11-11----11-11][----14-14----14-14]

[------------------][------------------]

[------------------][------------------]

x2 x2

Then while the 1st guitar is playing G, the second guitar is silent.

Bass:

A moveable pattern that follows the chords of guit.1

-----------------------------|------------------------------|

-----0---2-----------0---2---|-----3---5------------3---5---|

-2-2---2---2---0-2-2---2---2-|-5-5---5---5---3--5-5---5---5-|

-----------------------------|------------------------------| etc.

When playing over the G chord, the following happens...

------------------------------------12/7---|

-------8----10--------------8----10--------|

-10-10---10----10---8-10-10---10-----------|

-------------------------------------------|

Play with that slide... I'm doing this from memory!

Final touches: At the end of the chorus (after the second run thru with "Line up in line, line up in line is all I remember...") there are some chord stabs which take up an extra half a bar...

These are: x x 10 12 14 14

Enjoy a Great British classic...
