Dirty Boots

BY:sonic youth

from:mike abraham (bobbyblu@star.net)

I believe this is Thurston's part---(the intro and verse)

tuning key: u=tune up

d=tune down

tuning: E-dG-D-G-dE-dD (thurston)

intro-

repeat about 4X

|----13-------15-------10-------12----|

|-13---13--15---15--10---10--12---12-|

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

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

verse-

I'm not sure if the strumming is correct but here's my way......

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

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

|--4-4-7-7-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-4------------|

|--4-4-7-7-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-4------------|

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

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

here's one with more bass.Try the one that sounds better.......

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

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

|--4-4-7-7-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-4------------|

|--4-4-7-7-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-4------------|

|--4-4-7-7-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-4------------|

BAND : Sonic Youth

ALBUM : Goo

SONG : Dirty Boots

The correct tunage is EEBBEF# for Lee

and EGDGED for Thurston

The following tab is in normal tunage (EADGBE) cause i didn't

want to loose all my strings!

Some parts missing so please send me comments and corrections

or evenmore the correct transcription as soon as possible.

*************************************************************

Start playing Figure 1 and then Figure 2

and after,when Thurston start singing,keep

playing Figure 3 during the following verses :

C5 D#5 A#5 C#5 C5

Here we go to another candle i know

D#5 A#5 C#5 C5

D#5 A#5 C#5 C5

all the girls there playing on a jelly roll

D#5 A#5 C#5 C5

The following part is missing :

time to take a ride

time to take it in a midnight eye

and if you wanna go

get on below

pinking out the day

dreaming out the crazy way

finger on the love

it's all above

Repeat Figure 3 again with :

everywhere it's six-sex-six by luck

a satellite wish will make it just enough

you be making out with a witch in a coffee truck

The following part is missing too :

time to rock the road

and tell the story of the jelly rollin

dirty boots are on

hi de ho

pinking out the black

dreamin' in a crack

satan got her tongue

now it's undone

Then play Figure 2 with :

i got some dirty boots

yeah dirty boots

i got some dirty boots

baby

dirty boots

hey!

After the "noisy-solo" is Figure 4 & Figure 5

and finally Thurston is playing Figure 6.
