 SLOAN - Sugartune
 From: Smeared
 Tabbed by: Mark Wiebe, rwiebe@mindlink.bc.ca
 
 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.

 When you're on your own feeling all alone
 Remember that you've always got a home
 I'm outside tryin' hard to hide 
 The fact I'm scared to be by your side

 .....sugartune....by sloan
 
 if you don't know sloan, they are (were) a cool Canadian band
 that just recently broke up. ):
 
 here's the song sugartune from their first album "smeared" (go buy
 it) It's pretty easy, mostly power chords, I don't have some 
 parts, so if you like sloan help me out.
 
 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]
 
 D5 A#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.....
