Sugartune

SLOAN - Sugartune From: Smeared This song has already been posted by someone else but it's totally wrong, so I thought I'd put my own version on. I'm glad to see that there are some other Sloan fans out there in cyberspace. They were a great band while they lasted. Tell me if you have any comments, corrections, or suggestions. Thanks. Tuned down about a half step Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (It doesn't seem like it's quite on the exact pitch, so you might have to fool around with you're tuning pegs a bit to match it.) During A, B, C# part of Fig.1 part the second guitar sometimes picks the notes of the chords rather than strumming them.

For people who have never heard this song before I put in the beat values, for the intro atleast. Play with distortion, I think there's another guitar playing some- thing but I have no idea what.

(Verses) D5 D5 C5 I wrote for you, A#5 C5 A sugar tune, A#5 C5 D5 A#5 Help you through what you gotta do. the same chord progression is played for these lyrics... When you're one the ground, And keep falling down, remember how I made this sound. (Chorus) D5A#5 A#5 I know when D5 C5 D5 C5 everybody's got one, A#5 A#5 D5 C5 You want one too. ...that's all I have so far, it's the basic song. There's a couple fills missing, but there not that hard to figure out... my first tab, hope you enjoy it..... Ian (ag549@torfree.net)
