if you learnt this song from this sites tab section, i think it's wrong.
franks lead seems right, but the chords for the singing part were written under the influence.
not saying this is any better, but here's something a little closer to the mark, still written by someone under the influence.
riff 1:
-------0-0-0-0-0-------------------|
---0---5-5-5-5-5-0-0-0-------------|
-0-2-0-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-0-------------|
-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------|
Em---Am---Em
(play the above twice)
then:
-------0-0-0-0-0-0-0---8-7-5----------|
-------5-5-5-5-5-0-0-0-------8--7-6-5-|
-0-2-0-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-0----------------|
-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------|
then first riff again, then..
------------------------3-3-2-3-3-2-3-3-5-5-3-5-5-3-5-0-|-----------------------|
-------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------|-------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
-0-2-0-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-0----------------------------------|-0-2-0-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-0-|
--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
instead of the lead bit, you could play G---Am (or a major)---Em-----then riff 1
Em Am Em
A fist is fast
Am G
And Jimmy's cast
C G C
Hang me
Bm C
It's not time for me for me to go
A c Em
It's not time for me for me to go
G A C7
diamond Just the color
G A Em
The frayed color of ice
some of the chords could be e.g, C7's and major/mnor, but you should be able to work out when you play along to surfer rosa
hope this helps, a little (that is if you used the fb.net tab)
