SLOAN - Sugartune
From: Smeared
Tabbed by: Mark Wiebe, rwiebe@mindlink.bc.ca

[lyrics removed -- see diet-olga policy]

This song has already been posted by someone else but it's
totally wrong, so I thought I'd put my own version on. I'm
glad to see that there are some other Sloan fans out there
in cyberspace. They were a great band while they lasted. Tell
me if you have any comments, corrections, or suggestions. Thanks.

Tuned down about a half step Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (It doesn't
seem like it's quite on the exact pitch, so you might have
to fool around with you're tuning pegs a bit to match it.)

During A, B, C# part of Fig.1 part the second guitar sometimes
picks the notes of the chords rather than strumming them.

.....sugartune....by sloan

if you don't know sloan, they are (were) a cool Canadian band
that just recently broke up. ):

here's the song sugartune from their first album "smeared" (go buy
it) It's pretty easy, mostly power chords, I don't have some
parts, so if you like sloan help me out.

For people who have never heard this song before I put in the beat
values, for the intro atleast.

Play with distortion, I think there's another guitar playing some-
thing but I have no idea what.

[chords used]

D5 C5 A#5
e--X----X----X----
B--X----X----X----
G--7----5----3----
D--7----5----3----

...that's all I have so far, it's the basic song. There's a couple
fills missing, but there not that hard to figure out...

my first tab, hope you enjoy it.....
