Song: Kotton Krown
Artist: Sonic Youth
Album: Sister (also found on Screaming fields of Sonic Love)
I found this on the (now defunct) website www.evol.org. It was
originally tabbed by Nollie.
Intro:
I think the horn-like intro is played by Kim on bass. To me it sounds
like she plays a note and then uses the volume knob to make the note
go quiet and then loud again. I am pretty sure the last note she plays
is open D but am unsure of the first note.
Main riff:
Eb------------------------------------------------------
Eb------------------------------------------------------
D -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------
D -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------
G ---0--------------------------------------------------
G ---0--------------------------------------------------
Bridge: (just chords, no strumming shown)
Eb--------------------------
Eb-------------------------- The fourth (last) time you play
D --5---12---10---8--------- this riff instead of playing 8
D --5---12---10---8--------- play 10 and bend it.
G --5-----------------------
G --5-----------------------
I think I may confuse you with the next part. Play riff A first, then
riff B, then riff A, then barre at the 5th fret (like at the start of
the start of the above riff) listen to CD and it should make sense.
Riff A Riff B
Eb--------------------|---------------------------------
Eb--------------------|---------------------------------
D --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------
D --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------
G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------
G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------
Then strum the open D strings for a while before playing:
just chords
Eb---------------------
Eb---------------------
D ---10-----8----------
D ---10-----8----------
G ---------------------
G ---------------------
Then play the part with riff A and B before starting the main riff
again. At the end of the song the music just fades away.
