Afghan Whigs - Be Sweet

Picked this up after seeing them at Reading '94

Lee Bochicchio (u2lb@csc.liv.ac.uk)

Intro/Verse

(repeat x4, on 4th time add extra note)
e|-----------------------------------------|---------------

Ladies, let me...

Bridge/Whatever You Call It

(play twice) (let ring)
e|--1--1--1----0--0--0----0------------------
B|--2--2--2----1--1--1----3------------------ Back into verse...
G|--3--3--3----2--2--2----2------------------
D|--3--3--3----2--2--2-----------------------
A|--1--1--1----0--0--0-----------------------
E|-------------------------------------------


The solo is played on the e,B,G strings at around about the 12th fret down to
the 9th? It's a bit haphazard, and difficult to follow, but using the
following fingering you should be able to come up with something similar...

E A D G B e
-----------
1 1 1 9th fr.
-----------
2 -| lift/press these fingers at
----------- | the appropriate points to get
3 -|------------- a reasonable version of the solo.
----------- | a little futher into the solo, slide
4 -| about 4 frets up un the neck (12) - I think!
----------- If anyone has a more accurate tab than this, let
me know!
-----------

The song proceeds verse/chorus etc.

The end part (best bit IMHO) is :

(strum pretty loosely - listen to the record, you'll get the idea)
e|-------------1--1--1------5--5--5-------8---8---8-----------
B|-------------2--2--2------6--6--6-------8---8---8-----------
G|-------------3--3--3------7--7--7-------9---9---9-----------
D|-------------3--3--3------7--7--7-------10--10--10----------
A|-------------1--1--1------5--5--5-------10--10--10----------
E|----------------------------------------8---8---8-----------

...you be sweet, be sweet, be sweet...
