SONIC YOUTH - THE SPRAWL Tabbed by: L Hulme E-mail: songsforwalter@hotmail.co.uk There's not a correct tab for Thurston's part anywhere online. I play in a Sonic Youth Cover band in Manchester UK. Worked out after hours of watching Thurston play this on youtube clips. Tuning: CCEBGD - At the very least you're best putting an A string as your 6 string. As a general rule for SY tunes you're best putting G at least 0.17s as your 3 highest strings. Up or down by these many semi tones : Eu8 Au3 Du2 Gu4 Bd4 Ed2 Intro/Spoken part- I'm not gonna tab the strumming but these are the chord shapes slide down D|-----------------3--5--------3------------------------------------------| G|-----------------3--3--------3--5-/4/3/2/1------------------------------| B|--------------5--3--3-----5--3--3--x-x-x-x------------------------------| E|--------------3--3--3-----3--3--3--x-x-x-x------------------------------| C|--0-0-0-0-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--0-0-0-0------------------------------| C|--0-0-0-0-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--0-0-0-0------------------------------| Chorus - Come on down to the store (This bits correct on other sites) D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| C|----0----2---0----2----3------0-----2----3-------0-----2-------3-----| C|----0----2---0----2----3------0-----2----3-------0-----2-------3-----| The post chorus bit is really hard to work out what T is playing it definately involves: D|--0--------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--12-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--12-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--0--------------------------------------------------------------------| C|--0--------------------------------------------------------------------| C|--0--------------------------------------------------------------------| The Lead Riff is played like this - across 2 strings Play that 22 times x 11 x8 D|--0----0---------------0---0---------0---0----------------------------| G|--12---0---------------11--0---------12--0----------------------------| B|--0----x---------------0---x---------0---0----------------------------| E|--x---12---------------x---12--------0---12---------------------------| C|--0----0---------------0---0---------0---0----------------------------| C|--0----0---------------0---0---------0---0----------------------------| Outro / after all the noise this beautiful riff emerges repeat lots of times...
