'Underwhelmed' by Sloan

from the album Smeared

(Sorry kids; no lyrics included because I don't remember

'em & I don't have the album anymore).

chords (from low E to high E)

A - x02220

Asus2 - x02420

B - x24442

E - 022100

F# - 244322

The song starts with a chunky (palm-muted) F#.

The verse chord progression is F# - Asus2 - B, with

a slight variation on the F#...

--2--2--2--2--2---0--0---2--2----

--2--2--2--2--2---2--2---4--4----

--3--3--3--3--3---4--4---4--4----

--4--4--4--2--4---2--2---4--4----

--4--4--4--2--4---0--0---2--2----

--2--2--2--2--2------------------

The chorus is A - E - F#. Only variation is an A - B

progression after the 'i just ate my young' vocal.

There are several Chuck Berry-style blues scale slurs

in F# during some of the verses that go something like

this:

-------------2-2-----

---4-(5)-4---2-2-----

---4-(5)-4-----------

---------------------

---------------------

---------------------

..and theres an octave riff at the end similar to this, if

I remember correctly:

----------------------------------

----------------------------------

--11-11-11-11--14--14--16--16-----

----------------------------------

---9--9--9--9--12--12--14--14-----

----------------------------------
