3 Speed EELS
3-Speed
From Electro-Shock Blues
This is a song that I love but I've never seen a convincing tab of online.
Standard tuning EADGBe
CAPO AT 7TH FRET - chords are transposed (i.e. first chord I've named C is strictly a G)
EADGBe
C - x3201x
C* - x32013 (during the solo)
Gsus/B - x2001x
Gsus/B* - x20013 (during the solo)
F - xx321x
G - xx000x (sometimes sounds like xx0003)
Am - x0221x
D5 - xx023x (sometimes sounds like Dm xx0231 or D xx0232)
This is a beautiful plaintively strummed song that mostly only uses the middle 4 strings
the guitar, although
around and during the solo section it sounds like he lets the high e string ring out
occasionally, as shown above. Listen to the record and see what you think.
[C] got a 3 speed and ba[Gsus/B]nana seat
[C] sitting back on the [Gsus/B]sissy bar

During solo:
C* Gsus/B* (repeat 4 times)
(the solo can be played a few ways, I think it's on the G and B strings. I may add this later)
