From: OSKAYWH@LFMAIL.LFC.EDU (Windell H. Oskay) Subject: TAB: James "Laid" (Let me throw in a quickie request for tab to 'five-o' and 'heavens' by james and nirvana's 'lounge act' to anybody who might just know a place to start....) Hiya. I've just heard a live nonplugged version of 'laid' (off the 'say something' cd single) and here's my best guess.... Chord Formations: (Wow, only THREE chords!) C [x 3 2 0 1 0] C/F [x 3 3 0 1 0] G [3 2 0 0 3 3] (Plugless version) C C/F C G ----------------------------| ----------------------------| --------------------0----0--| < Label this the Main riff ------2--3--2---0---0----0--| 3---------------------------| -----------------3----------| C G 00000-00000--22222-22222-| 11111-11111--22222-22222-| 00000-00000--00000-00000-| < Label this the Chorus riff 22222-22222--00000-00000-| 33333-33333--33333-33333-| -------------33333-33333-| INTRO: Main riff three times, then Chorus riff once. Same for verses, main riff 3 times, then chorus:
