Subject: CRD/TAB: 'Underwhelmed' by Sloan
Date: Thu, 7 Dec 1995 22:53:54 -0600 (CST)
From: "jeffnmoe"
'Underwhelmed' by Sloan
from the album Smeared
(Sorry kids; no lyrics included because I don't remember
'em & I don't have the album anymore).
chords (from low E to high E)
A - x02220
Asus2 - x02420
B - x24442
E - 022100
F# - 244322
The song starts with a chunky (palm-muted) F#.
The verse chord progression is F# - Asus2 - B, with
a slight variation on the F#...
--2--2--2--2--2---0--0---2--2----
--2--2--2--2--2---2--2---4--4----
--3--3--3--3--3---4--4---4--4----
--4--4--4--2--4---2--2---4--4----
--4--4--4--2--4---0--0---2--2----
--2--2--2--2--2------------------
The chorus is A - E - F#. Only variation is an A - B
progression after the 'i just ate my young' vocal.
There are several Chuck Berry-style blues scale slurs
in F# during some of the verses that go something like
this:
-------------2-2-----
---4-(5)-4---2-2-----
---4-(5)-4-----------
---------------------
---------------------
---------------------
..and theres an octave riff at the end similar to this, if
I remember correctly:
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
--11-11-11-11--14--14--16--16-----
----------------------------------
---9--9--9--9--12--12--14--14-----
