The Cult - In The Clouds guitar tab
The Cult- "In The Clouds"
This is the main riff, played with extreme distortion. It's all power chords.
Easy, easy, easy. But still sweet.

In The Clouds
(Duffy/Astbury/Adams)
Tabbed by Spiritwalker
This is how I play the most parts of 'In the clouds'. Its a pretty heavy song, so get that
distortion up!

This is the opening part. Play this heavy riff again and again for most of the song. The
X's are mutes (or a "rest"). (Just touch the strings lightly to stop them from moving for a
pause in the music). The numbers separated by slashes are slides. It's kind of a quick
sounding slide, and it may not be exactly as written, but this is the idea. The 2* may be
the third fret. (I don't have my guitar with me right now.

Again, I *think* this is the descending line. You can play it with a bit of delay, or you
can use power chords to fill out the sound a bit. This is played over the chorus "Oh, oh,
oh, what makes you think it's Okay?"

..."It's Ok, Its OK, Its OK....."
...and back to the riff. I don't know the solo, but it seems to be a bunch of heavily
Sdistorted harmonics around the 12th fret.
Have fun, please correct me where I may have gone astray.....
