Hi everybody! I apologize to those who have been checking back earnestly, thinking Chris might actually release something on schedule. I am still hard at work on the third Song of the Week "set" but I got distracted by some other sonic projects (one of which is about ten years behind schedule!). One is a timeline version of the Concert Chronology (including recording sessions), the other is an in-depth chronological exploration of the band's early years, specifically 1981-1983 (aka EARLY SONIC aka "SONIC DEATH"). These projects definitely delayed the start of "Song of the Week" so I decided I'd do a follow-up mini-feature that focused on a certain group of songs from the 1981-1983 period. What these songs have in common is simple - with two exceptions - all of them were last played no later than 1983.

To be honest, "She's in a Bad Mood" is probably the only song on here that I'd previously considered for an independent SOTW feature. I dumped a lot of the cowbell controversy in the Early Sonic piece, but there's other angles to explore. This will be a bit of a speed run through a handful of songs that I don't have a lot to say about, but want to at least acknowledge with a half-decent tab. I probably won't be as strict with accuracy as I am elsewhere - trying to pin down every note of "The Good and the Bad" was one of the over-reaching feats that originally burnt me out on the Early Sonic project. I'll try not to use the "freak out" cop out too much, but sometimes it's for the best.

I strongly recommend reading the Early Sonic article for context on this selection of songs. You can consider it like a really long Song of the Week feature with not much emphasis on the individual songs (oops!). An addendum of sorts, something to tide you over until the next set. Obviously I will cover other songs from this era in future, more detailed pieces.

"Destroyer" was definitely the first title that popped out at me when I saw the track list for the deluxe reissue (all other foreign names ended up being working titles for songs from the first record). The first time I listened to the show it was one surprise after another (including the recognition of multiple Sonic Death snippets) but when I got to "Destroyer" I was, eh, pleasantly perplexed? Rather than conjuring a menacing force of musical destruction worthy of its title, it repeats a single upbeat bass motif for five minutes while the guitars dance around it striking percussive harmonics in standard tuning. Yeah, it's definitely not tuned down to slack - that sounds more like the early version of "She is Not Alone" that closes the show - so I think some wires got crossed there. Nonetheless, it's a cool tune, and obviously a thrill to hear previously unreleased song from that era. I still hold out hope for Thurston leaking some Arcadians material, or any potential recording of an early 80s "Mildred Pierce" (also standard tuning!).

The song's working title was "Where The Red Fern Grows" (a 1961 novel by Wilson Rawls). In October 1981, they went into Noise New York and recorded an instrumental demo of the song (it's not known if more was recorded - this was the only track included on the deluxe reissue). It's fairly similar to the final version recorded just two months later, except for one very notable difference: Kim plays the two-note bassline backwards. Huh!

There are photos from late '81 and early '82 where it looks to me like they're playing the "I Dreamed I Dream" chord shapes, so I imagine the song was in the set list for a while, but probably did not last beyond Richard Edson's tenure. It was released on Sonic Youth in March 1982, as the second track following "The Burning Spear". It was also chosen to represent the eponymous debut on the Death Valley '69 12", which contained one track from each previous release. Many years later, when the first record was being prepped for non-reissue in the mid 90s, this song was included on the Screaming Fields of Sonic Love compilation.

Thurston notes in the liner notes for the eponymous reissue that "I Don't Want To Push It" was directly inspired by "the second song on side 2 of Ege Bamyasi" by Can. That would be "Soup", but I'm wondering if he meant "Vitamin C", whose vocal is a little more reminiscent of "I Don't Want To Push It" to my ears. Evidently he was trying to sound like Damo Suzuki, and per Confusion is Next he also had a cold while recording his final vocal take.

While it was probably a common set list fixture while Richard Edson was in the band, there aren't any confirmed appearances of "I Don't Want To Push It" in 1981 or 1982 beyond that one recording. However, they did surprisingly revisit the song on April 14th, 1983 in Long Island, where it closed the set. Curiously, this is one of the very few performances with Jim Sclavunos on drums, and you get to hear his approach to this and "The Burning Spear", as well as "Making the Nature Scene" (they requested Bob return to record "Nature Scene" for Confusion is Sex - this show makes it clear why). When Bob Bert rejoined the band the following month, "I Don't Want To Push It" popped up here and there. It was often played after "Confusion is Next", and Lee would make screwdriver noise while Thurston was getting his guitar ready for "Push It". When Thurston started the harmonic intro, Lee would begin retuning his Tele from EADECD to standard tuning, and join in with the rest of the band. It was last known to be played on November 24th, in Groningen, Netherlands, where it was the first encore.

While not many recordings are available from the first half of 1982, when Edson was still with them, it seems likely that "The Good and the Bad" was played regularly. Aside from "Cosmopolitan Girl", which I genuinely don't think was played beyond their earliest 1981 performances with Lee and Richard (I could be very wrong though!), it was the only song of that era that featured Thurston on bass and Lee and Kim on guitars, a configuration that can be spotted in multiple 1982 photos.

I think the band was more focused on writing the new Confusion material when Bob first joined the band in 1982, but when he rejoined in May 1983 they revisited older tunes like "I Don't Want To Push It" and "The Good and the Bad". Unfortunately neither appear on Live in Venlo, though that late '83 tour did inspire some extremely intense versions of "The Good and the Bad". It was a popular set closer, and on some nights they would finish with a few minutes of howling feedback.

When I added this song to the list, I actually forgot that it was played outside of 1983 - just one documented time. It was March 23rd, 1985 in Thames, England. Something went wrong with the PA and after abandoning instrumental versions of "Brother James" and "Flower", they opt to drop "The Good and the Bad" on the crowd, followed by droning amp glee. Five years later, on March 9th, 1990 in Trenton, New Jersey, Thurston - possibly responding to a crowd request - starts to play it (he was on bass for "My Friend Goo"), but Lee insists he doesn't remember what song it is!

The song was probably written with Bob Bert when he joined the band around October 1982. Thurston made a claim that "Bad Mood" was just the Drifter guitar with a smashed cowbell under the strings. I discuss at tedious length my various theories on that in the Early Sonic piece, and come to no specific conclusion. I maintain that he was probably mistaking it for "The World Looks Red" and that "Bad Mood" was always played on the Knox guitar with a slide, even if it had a slightly different arrangement when it was first played.

The first known performance of the song was on November 14th, 1982 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was the first night of the "Savage Blunder" tour with Swans. It had a slightly longer arrangement, including Thurston singing "She's in a bad moood..." once more at the end of the song after things sort of wind down...they definitely improved it before they recorded it. Thurston also had a different guitar part - unlike the final version where he does not play while he sings, this version had him playing what sounded like palm-muted open strings throughout his verses. I won't focus too much on this early version for sake of my transcription (and sanity), but it does remind me of another question...

Why is "(She's in a) BAD MOOD" tagged "version" on the Confusion is Sex label? There's talk of other takes of "Shaking Hell" and "The World Looks Red" surviving within the various Sonic histories, but I'm intrigued by why "Bad Mood" would be marked as such on the label. Did they record the "early" version and then redo it once Sclavunos put his spin on it? Who knows...but I can pretty much guarantee they went with the right version. update 09/30/23 - check out Terminal! #14 which features a 1983 interview with the band where Lee explains that they added "version" to the title "because it came out totally different from how we play it live." Huh!! They did seem to carry forward playing the "album version". Thanks to Raj Paden for this awesome find!

To quote Thurston from the Forced Exposure interview that provides the timeline for the Early Sonic piece: "After we got back from Europe the second time, we were tired of doing the same old set - the CONFUSION IS SEX set - and we just stopped to cool out. [...] We took all the strings off the guitars, threw them around a little bit, put some strings back on them and hammered them a little bit, so there was really no way we could play those songs. We killed those songs. We could never do them again." It sounds like hyperbole, but in the case of "She's in a Bad Mood" that's basically exactly what happened. Thurston used a Knox guitar in an "anything" tuning (the notes are roughly tuned to a general pitch but not exact), and Lee used the classic blue Jazzmaster copy in a slightly altered tuning (EBDGBE). These two guitars would find themselves both tuned to F#F#F#F#EB by mid-1984, just six months after the final Confusion is Sex era show on December 17th, 1983 (where photos indicate they are playing "Bad Mood"). With F#F#F#F#EB came "Death Valley" and "Brave Men Run" and "Halloween" and there was no looking back to "She's in a Bad Mood", forever abandoned in 1983.

Except! On November 8th 1985, Sonic Youth played Brighton Beach, UK. In the afternoon they literally played on the beach, and in the evening at the Zap Club. Footage from both of these appearances bookends the Screaming Fields of Sonic Love VHS, and also makes the rounds from a VHS called Blood on Brighton Beach that I guess got very limited release? The film only includes three songs from the beach performance, which is too bad, because what happened earlier at what can only be described as a public soundcheck was quite interesting: after rough, early versions of "Secret Girl" and "Green Light", they play the "Tuff Titty Rap" tape (much earlier than I expected it to be recorded!), Kim toys with the bassline to "Hallowed Be Thy Name", and then Kim and Steve jam instrumentally for a bit, with minor guitar accompaniment. It seems like they're actually teasing at "She's in a Bad Mood", a song which Steve had never played drums on. The jam peters out, but sure enough the next night in Ladbroke Grove, Thurston says they're gonna do a song they haven't done "in about 10 years", and they take a pretty reasonable stab at it! It's clear Steve knows what he's doing, and he's locked in very well with Kim. Lee seems to be able to at least emulate the behind the strings bit, and Thurston nails the climbing outro. Though the album version starts with that amazing wall of detuned garbage, many live versions started with the bass and drums and Thurston would join in moments later. On other occasions, he would bash away at his open strings while waiting for Lee to switch guitars and join in. This 1985 version lacks his intro, so I can't be sure what tuning he's using, but considering how quickly they go into "Green Light" afterwards I wouldn't be surprised if he chose GGDDD#D#. The original tuning definitely has the same microtonal spirit. Before the song, it's clear someone is using EG#EG#EG#, and my guess would be that Lee chose this as a reasonable substitute for the original E-based tuning (and the 12-string Kapa Minstrel had string behind the bridge necessary for his key riff).

So, that was the last time Sonic Youth were known to have played the song, but it did have a slightly longer future with one particular member. When Kim toured as Harry Crews with Lydia Lunch and Sadie Mae in September 1988, many of their set lists included a cover of "She's in a Bad Mood" (with Lydia on guitar and vocals). Lydia adds a third verse: "I'm in a bad mood - but you won't fall for it - you believe all my lies - but I won't fall for it". It's pretty intense! Check it out on their album Naked in Garden Hills.

"I Dreamed I Dream" and "I Don't Want To Push It" are both pretty standard songs from that first record. Kim plays a repeating bass figure throughout both songs, and Thurston and Lee use harmonics and semi-tones to make standard tuning sound non-standard. I'm not 100% sure on the chord shapes so I'm open to feedback. For parts of "Push It" I just don't feel like tabbing what's basically an improvised "freak out" to the note, so just have fun with it.

"The Good and the Bad" is a song where tuning doesn't really matter and there was no point in trying to accurately transcribe their parts. However, I was actually surprised to find that both Lee and Kim play a similar climbing riff rooted in E during the midsection, and that it's not totally random. I have a feeling their guitars weren't tuned pitch perfect before recording this, and a few good whacks with a drumstick would probably do some good. In the Milan '83 footage, Kim actually uses the Gershon SG (in GGDDD#D#) so she was not particular about tuning, just the general method of attack.

"(She's in a) Bad Mood" is their first foray into alternate tunings. Lee tunes his A string up to B, which seems minor but allows him to strike an open E power chord. For his riff right before the verse, he trem picks the string behind the bridge while properly fretting the notes, getting an eerie whirring sound. Thurston uses an "anything" tuning, and while the open strings in late 1982 definitely did not sound exactly like the open strings in late 1983, there was a general range of notes that he seemed to keep the Knox tuned to. The problem is that the beauty in this tuning is the imprecise nature of the intonation: rather than getting the strings exactly to a particular pitch, they are deliberately tuned "off" so they sound even uglier when played. Just a rough starting point would be something like:

A SECTION				00:00-00:34

Thurston:

G-------------------------------
D------------------------------- x 10
A----------5--------------------
E---6--6-6-----3-3-3-3-3-0--0---
                 
Lee comes in during the 4th rep of Thurston's riff:

E---*12*----
B---*12*----
G---*12*---- then he starts picking 12th fret harmonics, focusing on G
D-----------
A-----------
E-----------

When Kim starts singing, he mostly sticks to playing the G string, switching between 12th fret
harmonics and the open string. This continues through the first chorus.

Kim has a heavy amount of wet reverb on her guitar and steadily attacks muted strings:

E---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---
B---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---
G---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--- etc
D---------------------
A---------------------
E---------------------

It almost sounds like she could be using the side of her pick to scrape the string right
over the pickup, in that steady rhythm, for the really trebley wet sound w/ the reverb.

Whatever she's doing, she does it for the whole song!

B SECTION				00:34-00:43

Thurston:

G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------6-6-6--------------------6-6-6-5--5-------------
E---6--6-6-5--5-5-8-8-8-8-5--5-5-------5-5-8-8-8-8-5--5-5------------3-3-3-3-0---
                 
Lee continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

A SECTION				00:43-00:53

Thurston plays the riff 3 times.

Lee keeps playing the G string and at the end of this verse he hits some harmonic chords:

E---*12*--*7*---
B---*12*--*7*---
G---*12*--------
D---------------
A---------------
E---------------

B SECTION				00:53-01:03

Lee plays a semi-random harmonic figure:

E------*7*----------0----*7*---*7*------*7*----------*12*----*7*---0---*7*-------------
B----------*7*------0----------*7*----------*7*------*12*-----------------*7*---*12*---
G---*7*--------*7*--0----------------*7*--------*7*--*12*--------------------*7*-------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A SECTION				01:04-01:13

Thurston plays the riff 3 times.

Lee continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

B SECTION				01:14-01:23

Lee continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

A SECTION				01:24-01:34

Thurston plays the riff 3 times.

Lee continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

B SECTION				01:34-01:43

At the start of this chorus Lee hits some harmonic chords:

E---*12*--*7*----*7*--*12*----*7*-----*7*--*12*---
B---*12*--*7*----*7*--*12*----*7*-----*7*--*12*---
G---*12*---------*7*------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------

A SECTION				01:44-02:01

Thurston plays the riff 5 times.

Lee keeps playing the G string and at the end of this verse he hits some harmonic chords:

E---*12*--*7*---
B---*12*--*7*---
G---*12*--------
D---------------
A---------------
E---------------

B SECTION				02:01-02:11

Lee continues his harmonic chords:

E---*7*--*12*---
B---*7*--*12*---
G---*7*--*12*---
D---------------
A---------------
E---------------

Then he goes back to playing the 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

A SECTION				02:11-02:31

Thurston plays the riff 6 times.

Lee continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string. You can probably see the pattern
here so I'm going to stop tabbing every random harmonic chord.

He basically strikes 12th to 7th fret, or 7th to 12th fret, with some open strings bleeding in 
here and there. Then he goes back to the G string.

B SECTION				02:31-02:41

Lee continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

A SECTION				02:41-03:05

Thurston plays the riff 6 times.

Lee does more harmonic blasts, then continues playing 12th fret harmonics on the G string.

Around 2:53, Kim starts getting more aggressive with her muted attack. This continues til the end.

B SECTION				03:05-03:14

Lee starts playing harmonic chords at the 12th fret across the GBE strings, sometimes pulling
off to add open strings. It sounds like he slips a few more 7th fret harmonichords in there too.

A SECTION				03:14-03:33

Thurston plays the riff 3 times.

Lee continues 12th fret harmonic/general skronk til the end.

At the very end, Kim starts to hit harmonics then plays the open B string til end.

A SECTION				00:13-01:49

Thurston starts playing an aggressive muted harmonic figure around 0:35. I think he's striking 
at the 5th fret. I'm not sure how to tab it, so just listen to it (seriously, will anybody be 
wanting to play "Destroyer"? Anybody?)

At 1:41 he begins a descending riff with Lee:

B-------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------
E---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9-9-8~----

Play that twice - Kim actually changes her riff after Thurston plays this once, so it continues below.
     
Lee:            

E-------
B-------
G-------
D---0---  palm mute // listen to the song to hear how he plays the notes
A---4---
E-------

He gradually increases intensity and then hits some open strings before beginning his harmonic riff:

E----*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------0-------
B--------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------0---
G------------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------  play twice
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then he goes back to palm mute picking that first chord:

E-------
B-------
G-------	this time he throws in the open G string and then does a bunch of choppy skronk
D---0---
A---4---
E-------

Basically just kinda "freak out" from 1:09 to 1:22

Then he goes back to the harmonic riff but plays 7th fret harmonics instead of the open strings:

E----*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*7*-----------------------
B--------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*------------0----------*7*------
G------------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*---------------*7*-----*7*--
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E----*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*7*-------
B--------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*-----------*7*--
G------------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*------------
D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then he goes back to droning the first chord while the other guitar plays the descending riff:

E-------
B-------
G-------	the bassline changes while he's playing these notes
D---0---
A---4---
E-------

Kim repeats this riff:

G-------------------
D------------------- x 48
A-------------------
E---5--0-6--0-0-0---

B SECTION				01:49-02:41

After the 2nd rep of the descending riff, Thurston starts a funky muted riff that does seem to center
around a skronky chord but I can't quite identify it. It's something like:

E---11---
B---11---
G---10---
D---10---
A--------
E--------

I'd be curious if anyone else can get a better read on Thurston's part on this song!
     
Lee continues droning:         

E-------
B-------
G-------
D---0--- vary palm mute + open
A---4---
E-------

At 2:00 he "freaks out" again - just do crazy skronky shit with chord shapes like:

E---20---
B---19---
G---18---   and toss in choppy 5th - 7th - 12th fret harmonics 
D--------
A--------
E--------

Kim switches to:

G-------------------
D------------------- x 26
A---5----6----------
E------0----0-0-0---

A SECTION				02:42-05:24

Thurston strums muted strings with some light harmonics circa 5th to 7th fret. Then he starts the 
same figure he played in the previous A section.

At 3:56 he plays the same descending riff twice.

Then go back to that wild funky scratchy riff and plays that til the end of the song.
     
Lee starts a funky muted harmonic groove around 2:50. It sounds like he's running his running his finger 
from 5th to 12th fret harmonics on the EADG strings while letting the open BE strings sound out. 
There's a definite rhythm to it but I'm not sure how to tab it exactly. 

At 3:00 it's more freak out - he trem picks 12th fret harmonics, then at 3:15 plays something like:

E---12---12---
B---12---12---  play 3 times - hold each chord for a bit
G---11---12---
D---11---12---
A----/----/---
E----/----/---

Back to the harmonic riff:

E----*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*--------------------------------
B--------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*---------*7*----------------
G------------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*12*----------*7*---*7*-----
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0---	
A------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then play D for a bit:

E-------
B-------
G---2---
D---0---
A-------
E-------

Then a very slight skronk off before going back to the descending riff:

E-------
B-------
G---0---  he includes the G string more prominently now, sometimes even the B string
D---0---
A---4---
E-------

Then more freakin' out moving muted harmonics up and down the fretboard while letting the open 
B and E strings blast through. Just play really jagged and choppy, it's more about the attack 
than the specific notes (though it's mostly open strings and harmonics). Hell he may even be 
using a drumstick at this point! Regardless, go nuts til the end, and then, well, it's the end.

Kim returns to this riff and plays til the end:

G-------------------
D------------------- x 77 (??)
A-------------------
E---5--0-6--0-0-0---

Lee strikes various 7th fret harmonic chords then he starts playing a harmonic riff
similar to Thurston's. This may be an overdub, there's still 7th fret harmonichords
in the left speaker.

E--------------------------
B--------------------------
G--------------------------	repeat w/ some variation
D--------------------------
A---------*7*--*12*--------

Around 4:33 he starts strumming a chord like this:

E--(12)--
B---12--- this is probably not right but it's just soft til the end anyway
G---12---
D--(12)--
A--------
E--------

Kim plays her main riff 14 times.

She plays it one more time, but plays the E note an extra 16 times.

A SECTION				00:00-00:30

Thurston strums harmonic chords with the low E droning:

E--*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*-*7*--     --*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*-*5*--

Lee plays some harmonics during the 2nd rep of Thurston's riff:

E------*7*------------*12*----
B------*7*------------*12*----
G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------

Kim stays silent.

B SECTION				00:30-01:20

Thurston drops out after his intro riff, and Lee takes over, but Thurston slashes a few open E notes:

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--*7*----------------------------------------------------*7*-*7*----------------------------------------
E---0------------------------------------------------------0---0-----------------------------------------

Then he stays silent for the next 2 reps of Lee's riff. 
At 0:52 he starts playing his intro riff (four times).
                 
Lee:

E---0----------------------------0--------------------------0--------------------------------------------

Play that 3 times. At the start of the third rep (0:52), another guitar starts playing:

E-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G----------------------------- x 17
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E---0--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2\3-3--- w/ palm mute

Kim enters playing a repeated theme. I have a bit of an auditory illusion with her bassline in this song.
I swear each note sounds slightly different despite seeming to be the same, and I don't know if that is
due to weird intonation on the bass she used for the first record, or if she's playing 12th to 14th fret
and bending the 14th slightly different each time? Any thoughts? Because I also hear the riff differently
AFTER the first verse, when there's a drum break and she comes back in. There I feel the 2nd note sounds
a little flatter than it does during the first half of the song. Am I crazy?

G------------------------

Kim plays her main riff and ends the section ringing on the 12th fret.

B SECTION				02:02-02:28

Thurston just kinda "freaks out" - rapid strumming high up the neck - around 15th-19th frets.

Then there's a break going into the next verse:

E---0------0---
B---0------0---
G---4------2---
D--------------
A--------------
E--------------
                 
Lee just kinda "freaks out" - rapid strumming high up the neck - around 15th-19th frets. He seems 
to focus a little more on individual notes rather than Thurston's big wave of skronk but I also think 
there's an overdub down the middle that's probably Lee doing a wilder "freak out" guitar part.

Then there's a break going into the next verse:

E---0------0---
B---0------0---
G---4------2---
D--------------
A--------------

Kim enters after the drum beat playing a slightly different version of her original riff...I think?!
Or this is what she was playing the whole time...

D SECTION				02:28-02:57

E SECTION				02:57-03:34

Thurston trem picks notes while droning the open E and B strings:

E---0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0---
B---4-5-4-5-4-0--0--0-0-0-0-0---  this is the basic "scale" the end is based on, just play around this
G---/-/-/-/-/-5--4--5-4-5-4-5---

Eventually:

B---0--0--4--5---  repeat simile til end
G---4--5--/--/---
D---/--/---------
A----------------
E----------------
                 
Lee plays a similar figure:

E---0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0---
B---4-5-4-5-4-0--0--0-0-0-0-0---  this too is a rough guide to the droning picking patterns at the end
G---/-/-/-/-/-5--4--5-4-5-4-5---
D-------------/--/--/-/-/-/-/---
A-------------------------------
E-------------------------------

Then he slides up to:

E----0---           ---0--0--0--0--
B---17---    then:  --16-17-16-17-- etc 
G---16---           --16-16-16-16--
D----/---           ---------------
A--------           ---------------
E--------           ---------------

Then he goes back down to the 4th/5th frets til the end of the song.

Kim ends her riff on the E note and does not play during the outro.

Kim does random "skronk chord" crashes at the start of four of Thurston's riffs.
Then she starts picking a single note over and over:

E--------                                    --------

Then there's another break with four skronk chord crashes. She comes back in on this note:

E--------			    --------
B---14---                           --------

A SECTION				01:41-01:58

Thurston plays ends the first section on a low E, then does the droning slide from the intro 3 times.
                 
Lee keeps playing:

At 2:33 he changes to:

G-------------------------------------
D---1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---   play four times
A-------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------

Then back to:

G-------------------------------------   he goes back and forth between those two notes, 
D---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---      playing each one roughly 32 times but 
A-------------------------------------         not consistently enough to say there's a pattern...?
E-------------------------------------
                 
Lee starts an ascending riff, following roughly the same pattern as Kim, but changing notes 
slightly behind or ahead of her. Play each note for much longer than it appears, and obviously 
just improvise although this is simply climbing one fret at a time.

He may be doing more than the droning D string for the last few notes - I don't know!

Around 2:13 Kim starts picking an E note. Over the course of the next 2 minutes she slowly goes up 
fret by fret while picking steadily, until she gets to the 21st fret at 4:30 where she hangs until 
the end of the section.

A SECTION				04:49-05:34

Thurston does eight long slides like the intro.  
               
I'm not positive (and there may be an overdub) but it almost sounds like Lee is playing this:

E--------
B--------
G--------
D---16---      w/ incidental open strings etc that comes w/ frantic picking
A---17---
E--------

Kim:

E--------
B--------
G--------
D--------
A--------
E---21--- keep picking this note

B SECTION				05:34-06:55

Thurston plays his main riff 22 times.
        
Lee bangs out skronk chords at the start of Thurston's riff 12 times then starts playing droning 
chords with an emphasis on the open B and E strings.

Kim bangs out skronk chords at the start of Thurston's riff 7 times, then starts a descending riff:

E-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------  some of this may be off...
A-------------------------------------
E---12---9---8---7---5---4---3---1----

That gets you to about 6:48 when she shifts to a G# note but I have no idea where, maybe:

E--------                  ---11---
B--------                  ---13---	she picks the higher notes quite fast while still playing the
G-------- which leads to:  --------      lower note so who knows what's going on...
D--------                  --------       
A---11---                  ---11---          this is why tuning doesn't matter for this song :)
E--------                  --------

I actually wonder if her G string was tuned up a bit and she's just hitting the open G string while
picking high up.

A SECTION				06:55-07:59

Thurston does 8 long slides like the intro.              

Lee just attacks a random droning chord.

Kim plays that last shape til the end - let's just pretend she's droning the open G string while
trem picking around the 11th-13th fret on the B and E strings.

text and tab by Chris Lawrence

INTRO					00:00-00:30

The song begins with Thurston aggressively strumming the open strings for about 30 seconds. 
 
A SECTION				00:30-01:14

Thurston continues attacking the open strings once the band kicks in. He tends to focus more 
on the center strings, that cluster of roughly D# through G. At 0:45 it almost sounds like he
starts strumming behind the bridge until 0:53 when he strikes the open strings again.

He drops out of the mix around 1:00 when Lee starts his whirry riff.
                 
Lee kicks in with a distorted E chord:

E------------
B------------
G------------	play twice
D------------
B---0--------
E---0--------

I'm honestly not sure if this next riff is Lee or Kim's weird bass, and they're mixed so closely
together. Lee can play it:

E---------------------------
B---------------------------
G---------------------------	then hit the distorted E chord a couple more times
D-------2-------3-------2---		it sustains during the next riff
B-----0-------0-------0-----
E---0-------0-------0-------

At 1:00 plays this riff while trem picking the string behind the bridge:

E---------------------------------------------12--------------
B---13--------12-14-13--------12-14-13-----12--/--------------
G----/---------/--/--/---------/--/--/------/--/--------------
D----/---------------/---------------/---------/--------------
B-------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------

Kim starts by just thrashing the E string:

G-----------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--- etc

Then she starts adding notes on the higher strings while droning the E. It's easiest to hear
around 1:00 when Lee drops out to do his behind-the-bridge stuff.

G----------------------12------------------12-------------------15------
D-----------10--------------------13-------------------------------14---
A-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------

B SECTION				01:14-01:43

Thurston doesn't play while he sings.
                 
Lee:

Lee strikes some low E chords with distortion, occasionally letting some of the other open strings ring.

Kim keeps droning the E while playing high notes:

G--------------------16------------------17-------19-------------16-----
D----------------------------------------------------------15-----------
A---------14-------------------14-15------------------------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

A SECTION				01:43-02:15

Thurston strikes the open strings four times, once at the start of each bar. Then he strums behind 
the bridge. Then he strikes the open strings one more time, and I think quickly runs the slide up 
past the end of the fretboard. Then he's silent when Lee starts his whirry riff.
                 
Lee starts with a droning trem picked figure:

   1:43  1:47    1:50   1:54
E--------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G---------------------------0----
D---0------0--------------4-/-4--
B---7------3------0-----5-/---/--
E---/------/------/-----/--------

The last bit is played as more of a quick flurry, he's kinda just trem picking through this shape:

E-------
B-------
G---0---
D---4---
B---5---
E---0---

Then he repeats this part from earlier:

E---------------------------------------------12--------------	all trem picked behind the bridge
B---13--------12-14-13--------12-14-13-----12--/--------------
G----/---------/--/--/---------/--/--/------/--/--------------
D----/---------------/---------------/---------/--------------
B-------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------

Kim keeps at the open E:

G---------------------------------------------------------------
D----------12--------------------14---------------15------17----
A------------------12-----12--------------15--------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

B SECTION				02:16-02:44

Thurston doesn't play while he sings.
  
Lee:

Lee strikes some low E chords with distortion, occasionally letting some of the other open strings ring.

Kim:

G-------------------------16-------------18-----------------------
D-----------14------------------------------------15------17------
A---17------------15-------------17-------------------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

A SECTION				02:44-03:44

Thurston strikes the open strings like before, then starts aggressively trem picking the middle strings
along with Lee.

At 3:05, Thurston starts his ascending slide riff that continues til the end of the song. He starts at 
the first fret and slowly climbs a fret at a time while strumming steadily.
  
Lee repeats the same droning trem picked figure:

E--------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G---------------------------0----
D---0------0------------/-4-/-4--  this time he focuses a bit more on the E notes in the final chord
B---7------3------0-----5-/---/--
E---/------/------/-----0--------

Drone those E notes til around 3:05 then just start hitting random skronk chords. It sounds like
mostly open strings with a percussive attack, you could even just smack the strings with your hand.

Then he gets a little crazier trem picking skronky notes high up the fretboard.

Kim starts playing a repeated riff:

G--(6)-------------------------------- she holds this shape but doesn't usually play the G string
D---5---------------------------------
A-------------------------------------	x 10
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

Around 3:30 she switches to:

G--(4)--------------------------------
D---3---------------------------------
A------------------------------------- x 4
E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

C SECTION				03:44-05:36

Thurston continues going fret by fret with his slide. He's at about the 9th fret when Kim and Bob start
their thumping accents. By the time Kim and Bob play their final chords, Thurston is past the frets and
is just climbing up to the bridge with the slide, until he runs out of room to pick.
                 
Lee keeps playing strangled skronk chords, just choking them out. 

Around 4:05 he starts back with his behind-the-bridge riff, but he moves his left hand around more
while just picking quickly behind the bridge (not playing the same exact motif).

At 4:33 he hits the distorted open E chord again, repeating it a few times as Kim and Bob wind down
and Thurston reaches the end of his fretboard. It sounds like Lee starts hitting the strings with a
drumstick or something at the very end, and then his EB strings drone out to finish.

Kim and Bob lock in on a stomping rhythm based on this chord:

G---4-4---       ---4---
D---3-3--- x 17  ---3--- x 15
A---0-0---       ---0---
E---------       -------

I don't hear the low E as much as the open A string at this point, but it couldn't hurt.

A SECTION				00:00-03:47

Thurston spends most of the song picking behind the bridge while using a whammy bar to lift the notes
up. Although he's picking behind the bridge, you can still hear the open notes that are sounding.
It sounds like his guitar is probably tuned to all Es - whether that's three low Es and then three mid Es
(no high Es), I'm not sure. For the sake of this tab, I've done two low Es and four matching middle Es,
but feel free to experiment.

I'll use X to indicate strings picked behind the bridge, and ^ to indicate when he has lifted the 
whammy bar (still picking behind the bridge). He lifts it a half step up to around F.

Depending on your guitar and how much string is behind the bridge, you may have to choose different 
strings to get the right "pitch" for the riff.

E----------------------------------
E----------------------------------
E----------------------------------
E----------------------------------
E---X-X-X--------------------------
E----------X--X-X--^-^-^-^-^-^-^---

As the song goes on, he gets a little looser with the figure, but not much. Around 2 minutes in he starts
striking more than just one string when he gets more aggressive with the whammy bar. By 3 minutes in
he's basically just strumming 3 or 4 strings behind the bridge instead of the single notes from the start.
                 
Lee starts with just the low E string:

G-------
D-------
A-------   x 4
E---0---

Then he plays his main riff:

G------------------
D------------------
A--------8--5--7---    listen for how he slides between the notes
E---0--------------

When Kim starts singing, he picks a little more:

G----------------------------------

E---0-0-0-0--------------------0---

He alternates between both versions of the riff, sticking to the latter version once the drums start 
picking up.

B SECTION				03:47-04:37

Thurston starts by furiously trem picking the middle strings behind the bridge. At 3:55 he starts 
picking on the "right" side of the bridge, droning the middle Es. Around 4:05 he starts letting the 
low Es blend in too...

E--------------------
E--------------------
E---X------0-----/---
E---X------0-----/---
E---/------/-----0---
E---/------/-----0---

Then at 4:14 he actually starts fretting notes, still trem picking:

E---12----13--------14----15-----------------0---  bend the last notes up with the bar
E---12----13--------14----15-----------------0---    
E----/-----/--10-----/-----/--12-------/-----/---
E----/--------10-----/--------12-------/-----/---
E--------------/---------------/-------0---------
E--------------------------------------0---------

While you're picking the last open Es, start moving behind the bridge. This section ends with 
quick strumming behind the bridge of all open strings.
                 
Lee keeps playing his main riff while Thurston goes wild.

C SECTION				04:37-05:28

Thurston plays basically the same riff he starts the song with, droning the strings behind the 
bridge til the end.

A SECTION				00:00-01:56

Thurston has a drumstick wedged between the end of the neck and the neck pickup. For the first
part of the song, he basically just wiggles it around while picking a bit.
                 
Lee starts by trem picking a chord at the 10th fret:

D#--10--- 
D#--10---   (he doesn't play the whole chord at once, focuses mostly on the lower notes)
D---10---  
D---10---   (he may be bending the D strings rather than always playing on the D# too)
G---10---   
G---10---   

At 0:29 he plays:

D#--14---
D#--14---
D---10---
D---10---
G---10---
G---10---

He briefly lifts off to the open G strings then goes back to the 10th fret. Around 0:50 he changes to:

D#--12---
D#--12---
D---10---
D---10---
G---10---
G---10---

Around 1:10 he starts rapidly picking the low G strings, while slightly raising one of the strings 
up and down with the tuning peg while he picks. 

Right before the big bass chord that ends this section, you can hear him getting his next chord 
shape ready:

D#--10---
D#---8---
D----9---
D----7---
G--------
G--------

Kim:

G---0-0---------------
D---8-8--------------- 	
A---X-X---7---7-------
E---6-6---------0-----

Sometimes she plays:

G---0-0---------------
D---8-8---8----------- 	
A---X-X---7---7-------
E---6-6---------0-----

B SECTION				01:56-04:33

Thurston plays an arpeggiated triplet figure for quite a while, picking notes on the pick-up side
of the drumstick while wiggling it a bit with his left hand. 

Around 3 minutes in it changes a bit to add a higher note, but goes back to the main pattern pretty 
quickly.

He does change things up a bit but it's all basically just picking out two or three "note" patterns while
flexing the drumstick.
                 
Lee starts picking around this chord shape:

D#--10---
D#---8---       I would fret this without your index finger so you can use it for the 7th fret later.
D----9---
D--------
G--------
G--------

At 2:54 he lets the open D string sound while picking the riff, then slowly starts adding it to
the regular picking, stopping around 3:20. Around 3:33 he adds the 7th fret:

D#--10---
D#---8---
D----9---
D----7---
G--------
G--------

Just after 4 minutes in, he switches to something like this:

D#--9---
D#--8---
D---7---
D-------
G-------
G-------

Kim doesn't play while she sings.

C SECTION				04:33-06:03

For the outro, Thurston just taps the drumstick with his left hand along with Bob's beat. It's extremely 
subtle on the recorded version.
                 
Lee starts by picking at this one note:

D#-------
D#-------
D--------
D--------
G---13---
G---13---

At 5:23 he changes to the open G strings:

D#------
D#------
D-------
D-------
G---0---
G---0---		play til end!

Kim sticks to one note for a long time:

G-------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------
E---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--- etc 

At 5:15 she switches to this note and plays til the end:

G--------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------
E---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--- etc
