/ Sonic Youth / E.V.O.L. (1994) / Tom Violence guitar tab

 Tom Violence
 i've seen this song tabbed in F#F#F#F#EB, but i'm fairly sure that's incorrect. i saw
 them play it live, and i stood about three feet away from thurston, and these are the 
 fingerings he was using...

F#F#GGAA

these are the chords, i'm not going to show the strumming
  guitar 1        guitar 2 everything in [] is played durring one chord
 (thurston)        (Lee)   in relation to guitar 1. 
A---4-0-2-0--16-|-----------------------------------------|
A---4-0-2-0--16-|-----------------------------------------|
G---6-6-4-11-18-|-----------------------------------------|

F#--0-0-0-0--0--|-[-10-0-]-[-3-5-]-[-10-8-]-[-3-5-3-5-7-]-|

guitar 2 is doubled by the bass. i think when the vocal starts guitar two
re-arranges a couple of its parts, but the fingerings are still the same.  

the Bridge           the End
                    repeat
