transcription by Robert and Ryq and Chris Eng
Note: The D and C are melody chords played by the keyboard; the bass plays
an A note underneath the D and C chords. Due to the characteristics
of vinyl, the recording sounds approximately quarter-step sharp.

SHE - Cough/Cool 7" (keyboard) version
===
transcription by Robert and Ryq and Chris Eng
Note: The D and C are melody chords played by the keyboard; the bass plays
an A note underneath the D and C chords. Due to the characteristics
of vinyl, the recording sounds approximately quarter-step sharp.

SHE - Static Age / Legacy Of Brutality (guitar) version

Note: The D and C notes are played by the bass; a palm-muted guitar
doubles the notes. It also sounds like there is a second guitar
playing the A chord continuously through the D and C notes.
