Hey all, since no one seems to have done them and since i'm bored, lonely, and in need of something to do i decided to give figuring out the new songs on guitar a go. i'll try the single songs out later, but for now i gave the Peel session ones a try. please point out any mistakes i made (probably several) so we can get versions that are more correct and submit them to the site. apologies to all who don't play guitar for the length of the message. the lyrics have been posted, so i'll only put lyrics where they're necessary to judge timing SHOOT THE SEXUAL ATHLETE bass verse bit G-------------------------------------------------- D------4---45-------------------------------------- A---55--5------------------------------------------ E--------77---------------------------------------- chorus(?): A A/G (302220) 'Cause I'm a fan of the Go-Betweens pick the chords like so: e-----0-------0------------------------------------ B-------2------2----------------------------------- G---2--------2------------------------------------- D--2--------2-------------------------------------- A-0------------------------------------------------ E---------3---------------------------------------- verse guitar (pick chords dont strum) D D/B(x20032) Of all the stars, and all the would-be stars the riff at the end of each line is something like e-3-2-0 B-3-3-3 G-2-2-2 end on A MAGIC OF A KIND WORD no one, i think, has posted the lyrics to Magic so these are rough rough guesses F G When I think of all the sorrow, It is hard to take a breath People fighting one another F G# C And i feel there's nothing left,And i feel theres nothing left this is when it all goes mental so the chords are a bit hard to hear the C to F thing is way easier on piano, but do-able on guitar. timing's sorta tricky. C F C F C F C Hey! Cut me loose, i'm feeling fine,yea i'm feeling fine C F We're just like traffic in a big town C G You better stop you better slow down NOTHING IN THE SILENCE the isobel bits: F#m D Something set me thinking Bm E When I opened up my eyes D Dm That there was nothing there to tell me D E I'd been listening to lies F#m D But in silence there is truth Bm E There is beauty, there is love D Bm There is nothing in the silence F#m To be frightened of the sarah bits: F#m Her retreat in so few words E Is the last thing you'd expect D But there's danger in assuming Bm That she's being direct D Take a look behind her eyes E And you will see D That she knows nothing of silence Bm F#m Silence can only come from me the instrumental bit is F#m Bm E D Bm F#m (MY GIRL'S GOT) MIRACULOUS TECHNIQUE D G Oh no, the snow's stopped snowing D G D Maybe we'll get some bowling and drinking in G A And looking at the sky [the verses sometimes end on A, or something they go back to D G] CHORUS D G Take a look around you D G C G The spring has sent the sound of rain upon your windowsill A So grab your coat and play a song for me *** again, these are guesses, corrections are very very welcome. __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
