this song is really cool. It really isn't that hard so here it is

the guitar strums a G-chord, then strums an A-chord, a B-chord, a C-chord,
and a D-chord. the progression is G-A-B-C-D (with one strum for each

XXXXXXXXX-----for the words "will you come again....",

A |--12--12--12-12-12-12-12--12--|
E |--10--10--10-10-10-10-10--10--|
the chords are right, just work with the strumming pattern

then, at about 3.10 minutes into the song an E1-G-A progression is played
then, at about 3.42 minutes into the song an A-G-E1 progression is played

then a solo comes, you could use the A-minor penatonic scale in the 5th
position for the "psuedo solo"

E |----------------------5-8--|
B |------------------5-8------|
G |--------------5-7----------|
D |----------5-7--------------|
A |------5-7------------------|
E |--5-8----------------------|

any questions, requests, comments, suggestions, corrections, or anything
else (like thank you notes), just e-mail me (OllieOne@aol.com)

this tab might seem kind of cryptic because of how confusing i made it,
but it really isn't, all the chords and parts are correct, just find out
where they go and how many times to play them, have fun

note: don't forget, when you download it, print it out in NOTEPAD in
windows or else it will come out messed up

message: when i do this tab, it is because i am trying to help people out
and i enjoy it, i don't claim to be correct on anything, so i would
aprecciate it that if i got something wrong, don't be a prick about it,
just e-mail me and i will happily fix it, like i fix my version of little
things (which i tabbed out a step higher that it is really played)
thank you and enjoy the tab

oh.....i also figured out the beginning of monkey! i listened to a live
bush album and i figured it out from there, i will work on the rest
and post it later

Body by Bush
Written by Gavin Rossdale
from Sixteen Stone
Tabbed by Gendefect@aol.com

This is a really good song that is made kind of difficult by the many
fills. The rhythm is kind of tricky as well. I tried to tab out the
rhythm as best I could. Listen to the CD and do the best you can.

Guitar 1 begins playing this
Riff 1
e----------------------------------------------------------

D----------------------------------------------------------
A-5h7-7-5--------------------------------------------------
E---------7------------------------------------------------

Then Guitar 2 jumps in playing this
Fill A
e----------------------------------------------------------
B-/8~--/12--10--8-7-8-8~-5---------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------

Then comes a bass solo. An A chord is thrown in and then a G chord.
Then in goes back to riff 1 with this fill

E----------------------------------------------------------

More bass solo. Another A chord. Then comes a G-A-B-C-D Chord
progression. Followed by this fill over riff 1

Fill C
e----------------------------------------------------------

then this fill is played over Riff 1

Then the verse is repeated and then play the chorus. At the end add this riff

G-------------------------33333333-3b----------------------

Somewhere over the solo this fill is played followed by a pick slide
Fill F(or something like this)
e----------------------------------------------------------

Then back into riff 1 followed by a F# chord. Then back into the chorus.

That's it. Enjoy!
