BELLY - "spaceman" Tablature

Official BELLY Tablature & Sheet Music »

"Spaceman", Belly
Written by Belly
from their "Super-connected" import single

Standard Tuning
Key of A major

The Twiddle:
A
e--0--0-----------------------
B--2--2----2------------------
G--2--2----2-2----------------
D--2--0h2--2-2-----x-x--------
A--0--0----0-0-----x-x-x------
E---------------2--x-x-x------

*** No tab in the world will tell you much about how to play this twiddle.
I got the mechanics down...now you have to get the dynamics down. Finger
the A chord like this :
--|---------
--|--r------ ring finger
--|--i------ index finger
--|--m------ middle finger
--|---------
--|---------
2

and use your thumb to play the F# on the low E string <the big fat one>.
otherwise the rest of the rhythm is simple. The twiddle is played only
some of the time...it'll be obvious when.
*** I think the electric part is the same chords only played with a chorus
effect...I donno...I'm not an electric person.

(Acoustic Guitar -- clean)
