Jesus Lizard - Slaveship guitar tab

"Salvsehip" by the Jesus Lizard from the album LIAR

words and music the Jesus Lizard (1992)

transcription by Eddie Rivas

This is the Jesus Lizard's Slaveship as far as I can tell.

Some things to keep in mind are, to keep the notes ringing together at

times especially at the end of the "riffs" and during the second part you

should hold down the two notes on the 3rd frets (e and B strings) with

you first finger so that it's like a capo, which allows the piece to be

played while letting the notes ring out. (I know it sounds confusing but

try it and you'll see what I mean). Anyway, the arrangement isn't hard to

figure out so I'll leave that up to you. Have fun with it and email me if

you're a Jesus Lizard fan.

Heres the weird chord [E something] (I don't know the name) for the weird

bridge or whatever.

EADGBe sometimes hit the open E string and open B string

x223xx depnding on what you think sounds better.
