SHAKING HELL

tab by chris lawrence (mustang@islandnet.com)

Okay. I'm going to tab this in standard because I really can't
be sure of the tuning used on the album. If you listen to the
Venlo disc, you can hear Lee tune to a near-standard tuning
directly before this song, and Kim just seems to play whatever
guitar Thurston gives her when they trade (like F#F#GGAA in '86).
So standard's as good as any tuning, I suppose.

Guitar 1 (Kim):

Intro

E--------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------
E--X-11-X-9-X-11-X-9-X-11-X-9-X-11-X-9- etc

when that part ends, start striking the open strings with
a drumstick or something equally as percussive and let
it ring out.

Kim is silent during the verse.

you may wanna come back in playing swooping drones along with
the bass @ "shake off your flesh". otherwise, she doesn't play
anymore during the song.


Guitar 2 (Lee):

intro:     ** = trem pick these chords furiously

   **     **     let these ring...          **    **     **
E-------------------------------------------------------------
B--13-----15-----18----18----18----18-------18----------------
G--12-----14-----17----17----17----17-------17----11-----17---
D--11-----13-----16----16----16----16-------16----10-----16---
A--10-----12-----15----15----15----15-------15-----9-----15---
E-------------------------------------------------------------

then hang on that last chord (w/ the 18th fret on B) and just
keep strumming it while the drums/bass meltdown... move the fingering
around a bit for extra dissonance.

then for the verse, start off strumming this chord:

E-------
B---0---
G--11---
D--10---
A------- optional 9th fret on A
E-------

then move up to:

E--------
B----0---
G---15---
D---14---
A---13---
E--------

then move back to the first chord.

then we she sings "shake off your flesh" and the bass starts
droning the G string, move up to this:

E--------------
B--------------
G--13-----14--- the first chord is only there for a moment
D--12-----13---
A--11-----12---  hang on the second chord til "turn around"
E--------------

when things calm down a bit, start arpeggiating that last chord.
this is moving into the "shake, shake" part...

then he stops for a moment and comes back in violently strumming
this chord in bursts:

E--------
B---18---
G---17---
D---16---
A---15---
E--------

then up to this one:

E--------
B--------
G---20---
D---19---
A---18---
E--------

then back to the previous one and END.
