# From: Chapmanjm@aol.com Date: Sun, 10 Mar 1996 15:14:28 -0500 Subject: CRD: The Prize by Semisonic THE PRIZE by SEMISONIC from the EP PLEASURE on MCA. Transcribed by John Chapman (Chapmanjm@aol.com) Any corrections/edits welcome. Words in brackets mean I'm probably wrong. Check out Semisonic, consisting of Dan Wilson and John Munson from Trip Shakespeare, and Jake Slichter ("a percussionist"). First full-length CD due out in April. Email to Semisonic@aol.com Intro: Strumming on D (6 bars or so)-see note below Verse1: D Night of a thousand verses
DOne thousand friends said have you Amheard GWhat we expDected DWe are all working late and DWaiting to win a prize that we dont deAmserve GAnd live to Dcollect it
Chorus: F#m G Cant you see Im weary
EmMaybe this Cnews can Dwait Verse2: Night of a thousand verses One thousand strivers strain to hear The voice thats left us Magazines still have to sell us Twelve master geniuses a year Its all so shameless
Chorus: Repeat 2x, second time "Worried" not "Weary" Bridge: B C G Maybe there was a message in it
(I dont Emknow where you hid it) BMaybe there was a C[P stamp] with it G (I dont Emknow where to fit it) BTell me what kind of Cprize can you get G (When you Emdont want to win it)
Then back to D for a few bars. Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and with distorted guitar on top. Then back to bridge exactly as above Then chorus 2x. When strumming on D, there is a little riff that is D/E/F#/F#/G/F# (notes, not chords). If you're playing D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while holding the chord, like this: E---2------0---2---2---4h--2p B---3---3-------------------- G---1------------------------ D---------------------------- A---------------------------- E---------------------------- Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so the chord continues to sound. You may find easier places to play up the neck if you're on an electric.
