Song: Endlessly

Artist: Mercury Rev

Album: Deserter's Songs

This is the intro/verse/chorus acoustic guitar part in Endlessly by Mercury

Rev.

The bass notes are not really heard but I imagine they're right. If you have

short fingers like me you'll probably have a little trouble reaching the Ab

(second bar) while forming the normal first position A chord. If you have a

mate with a double bass you can get them to play the bass notes. Otherwise

you'll have to stretch. Or you can try a different tuning. If you were to

tune

the bottom E string to a F it may make it easier.

This part is played throughout the entire song apart from when the Christmas

carol tune comes in (sleep in heavenly peace - I have let my knowledge of

carols

slip and forget which song that's from. Hmm somehow I don't really care).

If anyone out there can actually hear that part and would like to tab it out

and send it to me I'd much appreciate it. I'm seeing them next week and if

they

play this I will hopefully get a better idea of what is played in that part.

This may very well be wrong. I'm pretty sure it's close, but I am unable to

play it yet so I can't be sure. Any comments are more than welcome.

Cheers,

Glen Maddern.
