/ Sonic Youth / E.V.O.L. (1994) / Green Light guitar tab

This one's sorta off the top of my head, so bear with me. I haven't really taken time to figure out the other guitar, which is probably Lee's, so you'll have to do that on your own.

GREEN LIGHT by Sonic Youth from the LP EVOL

This song is in F#F#F#F#EB. The other might be in F#F#GGAA, but I'm not sure. Experiment. Thru the verses, the othe rguitar just picks behind the bridge, I think.

Well, the first guitar is kinda weird. It has the main riffs, but pretty much sticks to one note for most of the song. Listen to the record.

Main riff:    Chords for Second riff:
B  
E
F# 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 0 5 5 5 5 2 2 2 0     5   7    2
F# 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 0 5 5 5 5 2 2 2 0     5   7    2 
F#
F#
 
play 5 for a long time, 7 once, then 2. It sounds like "Her light....is the night" vocal. Thurston pretty much sticks to the first note (G#) while he is singing. The other guitar sometimes overpowers his, but I can't figure it out. During the interlude, its:

Once again. listen to the record for the timing.
B
E   
F#  17   14    19   14   16
F#  17   14    19   14   16

I realize that this is pretty useless, but I hadn't seen a Green Light tab on any sites and someone had requested it, so here's my best shot.
