Song:Elektra made me blind
Artist:Everclear
From the Album Sparkle and Fade

This song is pretty easy to play. The intro goes something like this....

e ---------8-8------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ---5-8-5-5-5-5-5-8-5----------------------------------------------------------------
G ---6-6-6-6---6-6-6-6--REPEAT X4 W/CLEAN TONE----------------------------------------
D ---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7----------------------------------------------------------------
A ---0-0-0-0---0-----0----------------------------------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next part with the drums and bass is the same except distorted.The verse is also the
same with this riff at the end of each block...

e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G --4-4-x-x-x-x-7-7-------------------------------------------------------------------
D --4-4-x-x-x-x-7-7-------------------------------------------------------------------
A --2-2-x-x-x-x-5-5-------------------------------------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just listen to the tune to figure which bit goes where. Next is the chorus. I`m not too
sure about this but it`s pretty much right I think.....

e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------10-10-9-----9-9-9-/13-13-13---------------------------------------------
D --7-7-7--10-10-10-9-----9-9-9-/13-13-13---------------------------------------------
A --7-7-7--10-8--8--7-----7-7-7-/11-11-11---------------------------------------------
E --5-5-5--8--------0-----0-0-0-------------------------------------------------------

You`ll have to listen fo the strum. I think the 11 power chord is wrong but I`m not
sure.

The bassline basically follows the power chords but in the verse it goes.....

E ---/555555-/555555-/555555-/555555----

I`m not sure about the amount of times the A is played but you can listen for that.
The verse is exactly the same as the root note of the power chords. For the July She
lied... bit I play the notes from the chorus in the same order but different time and
omit the high G#.
