Em F#m Dm A E F F#7add4 [Instumental part] Go little record go. It is named by some guy named Joe. And the words are the letters of the words said electrically played for outer space and those who paid. This song is twice occurred and nows it's time to go away on holiday. ----- Badd4: -0-- F#7add4 -0-- -0-- -0-- -8-- -3-- -9-- -4-- -9-- -4-- -7-- -2-- - Planet of Sound: uses a drop D tuning, so tune yr low E to a D. From: scuw5@central.susx.ac.uk (Jonathan Eyre) The song uses only two chords - A5 and D5: A5 D5 e--------- B--------- G--2------ D--2---0-- A--0---0-- D------0-- Start on A5, move to D5, and just alternate between the two. The solo is just a cheesy blues lick. You can actually buy a complete book of 'Trompe Le Monde' tab, but it's not very good. U-mass Pixies G F C D G G G G F C C C C D the chorus is slightly different: F G Bb C F C C F and all the chorus chords are quarter notes. 'Letter to Memphis' Transcribed by Mark Schnitzius (schnitzi@east.isx.com) Tune your guitar down a half step to play this one. You'll need to hit the low E chord. ---- E C#m A E C#m A E C#m A [Call this Rhythm Figure 1] C#m A A E Abm E --------4--5--5--5--------4----5--- --------5--5--5--7--------4----7--- ---8-9--6--6--6--7--8-9-8-4----7--- -6------6--7--7--7--------6----7--- --------4--7--7--5--------6----5--- -----------5--5-----------4-------- C#m A A E Abm A B --------4--5--5--7----------4-------0------2------- --------5--5--5--5----------4-------2------4------- -8-9-8--6--6--6--5----8-9---4-------2------4------- --------6--7--7--5--6-------6-------2------4------- --------4--7--7--7----------6-------0------2------- -----------5--5-------------4---------------------- [End Rhythm Figure 1] E?
