My Bloody Valentine - Soon guitar tab

#

From: scuw5@central.susx.ac.uk (Jonathan Eyre)

'Soon' by My Bloody Valentine (K.Shields)

TAB by Jon Eyre, scuw5@central.sussex.ac.uk

DISCLAIMER: This is by no means perfect...

To achieve a sound similar to that on 'Loveless', take the following

tab, add an Akai S9000 sampler, a load of compression, reverb and sundry

other effects, drums, bass, vocals, mix it in a pot, garnish lightly

with overdubs and and cook for 40 minutes at gas mark 6...

SOON

VERSE

The basic riff, which appears in the intro, and I suppose ought to be

called the verse:

D-4--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-

A-4--4--4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- Repeat for a bit

E-2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-

CHORUS

By process of elimination, this bit must be the chorus. It's the bit

with vocals over the top of chord changes:

F#sus2 Esus2 F# Asus2 Bsus2 E F# Esus2 F#sus2 Esus2 F#

e----------------2----0-----2----0---2--------------------2--

B-----9-----7----2----0-----2----0---2---7-----9-----7----2-- Back

G-----11----9----3----2-----4----1---3---9-----11----9----3-- Into

D-----11----9----4----2-----4----2---4---9-----11----9----4-- The

A-----9-----7----4----0-----2----2---4---7-----9-----7----4-- Basic

E-----9-----7----2---------------0---2---7-----9-----7----2-- Riff

THE NOODLY FLUTE LINE BIT

Which isn't actually a flute, but either a sampled guitar or voice...

e-----9----11-------9---11-11-

B--11---11----11-11---11------

WORDS

You're on yer own, I'm afraid...Just murmuring something which sounds

vaguely okay should do.

S'ABOUT IT

Make of that what you will. If anyone out there has *ANY* MBV tab,

puhhh-leeea-ssse-eeee send me a copy. Cheers.
