VERSE ("She's all weak..."): A/(?)/D CHORUS ("Just to be one of a crowd..."): F#m/E ------------------------------------- Author: sesor Subject: false harmonics, chords for the chorus in "she" Date: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 05:25:45 A couple of people have asked me what false harmonics are since I posted about them so here's a brief explanation. I'm just about certain that David plays "She" in some alternate tuning but I don't know what it is. I just play to it with normal concert tuning. For the harmonics, fret the high E at the 9th and fret the B at the 7th. Those harmonics are the same notes as what's in the chorus to "She". False harmonics are done the same way as regular harmonics but since you're already using your fretting hand to fret the strings, you have to use your picking hand to "touch" the string and pick the string at the same time. It's a pain in the neck to do but it comes in really handy when you're multi-tracking in the studio and you need a harmonic from a certain note that you couldn't get otherwise. You have to hold the pick between your thumb and middle finger. This frees the index finger on that hand which you'll use to "touch" the string. Using that index finger, touch the string exactly 12 frets above the fretted note and pick the string. This is difficult because your index finger has to put just the right amount of pressure on the string and when you pick, your hand sort of jerks. How Johnny (Marr) plays whole solos using this technique is completely beyond me. I've been doing these for a while now and I still often end up either touching the string too hard or not at all. Oh, and don't try doing a normal harmonic with the B string as it's right over the 7th fret. You'll be tempted to but it's too warm next to the high E's false harmonic and it'll sound unbalanced. I'll just post the chords that I use for the chorus since no one seems to be having a problem with the verse. I'm sure they're wrong but maybe it'll help someone on the list when they're playing along with the album in his or her bedroom. E) 9 5 9 5 4 B) 7 5 7 5 5 G) 9 6 9 6 6 D) X 7 X 7 6 A) 9 X 9 X X E) X X X Play the first three notes for four measures each, the second to last note for three measures and the last note for one measure. Sanity impaired, John P.S. If there are any really diligent guitarists out there, you can figure out David's tuning by finding all the open tunings where the high E is raised two semitones but the B stays the same and then just noodling. David doesn't do false harmonics live so the B note on his high E string is raised to a C# over the 7th fret. Then one only has to do regular harmonics over the 7th for both strings. If you figure it out, please e-mail me privately as I won't be on the list. Gracias. ------------------------------------- From: "jed finley" Subject: Adding to SHE tab Date: Sun, 25 Jan 1998 22:05:38 PST SHE (acoustic rhythm) VERSE A/Bm/D A- x02220 Bm- x24222 D- xx0232 CHORUS F#m/A F#m- 244222 BRIDGE A/Bm/C#/D C#- x46654 I listened to the bass guitar to finish off the song. I know the second chord in the VERSE is right, but I'm not sure of the correct name, so I just put an Bm. I think that the second chord in the CHORUS is an A, it sounds alot better. I'm pretty sure that it's a C# in the bridge, listen to the bass guitar there, it helps. comments or anything to seabass76@hotmail.com ------------------------------------- From: Andy Marshall Subject: chords to 'she' Date: Mon, 23 Mar 1998 10:49:17 The SUNDAYS: She - Capo +2 A brief explanation of what’s going on... Firstly, this is quite a poor attempt at working out how to play ‘She’, but I wasnt so impressed with what i’ve seen some places, so I decided to spend a few hours working out another way of doing it. Start with a capo on the second fret.... At points there are bits with /. This will denote a chord with a different bass note, eg G/B is a G chord with a B bass note (x20033). The only exception is the / in Fill 1, as Cs4/ D*. This denotes a slide up from some strange Csus4 like chord to an even stranger D sounding chord; NOT a Csus4 with a D bass note. And the 2 different fills are used here and there. Its just the basic pattern of the acoustic strumming you hear in the song. They’re just there to try emulating the bass pattern on a normal guitar. Otherwise, they are just G (320033) and C2 (x32033) chords. Play them as required - saves me having to write them all out everytime. Got that all? OK then.... .... onto some chords.... Basic Chords for the Verse, Chorus and Ending: Em 022000 C x32010 Em(+G) 022003 C2 x32030 G 320033 Ds2/A x00230 Em/B x22000 C x32010 G 320033 Ds2 xx0230 Em 022000 C x32010 Fill 1: G Cs4/ D* Cmaj7 G/B G 3 3 / 5 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 / 5 2 0 0 2 3 / 5 3 2 2 3 x x x x 3 Fill 2: G G/B C2 G/B G 3 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 3 2 2 3 x x x 3 .... and finally the song! Intro: Fill 1 Fill 2 Verse 1: G Cs4/ D* Cmaj7 G/B Em C [Fill 1 & 2] She’s all weak and her heart beats so G Cs4/ D* Cmaj7 G/B Em C [Fill 1] She can’t speak, with the lights so low Chorus 1: Em(+G) Just to be one of the crowd C2 Feet scuttling across the floor Em(+G) Spinning lights round and round C2 It’s adolescent war. Verse 2: [As for Verse 1] Chorus 2: [As for Chorus 1, but play twice] Ending: (You can strum these and it sounds fine) G Ds2/A Em/B C G Ds2 Em C [Fill 1 & 2] [Fill 1] Em She slows down C Has the music gone Em C Em G Or has she stayed too long? ok - so I haven’t tabbed the guitar in the chorus, but it sounds Ok(-ish) if you just put loads of distortion on it and add extra notes here and there to make it a little more interesting. Possible notes being: e|-0--2--3--5-----------| B|-------------0--1--3--| G|----------------------| you get the idea - just put them around the Em and C2 chords as you go.
