This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Cool Your Boots, by RIDE - From the album "Going Blank Again"

========================

- This is one of my favorite songs off the CD. To get a sound close to that

on the CD, switch to a humbucking pickup (if you are playing a stratocaster,

between the middle and bridge pickups) and use moderate distortion:

Chord Progression: Fsus Am C A#

===================

Here is how I play these chords:

|------8-----------------8---------6-------------------------------------------|
|------8---------8-------8---------7-------------------------------------------|
|-----10---------9-------8---------8-------------------------------------------|
|-----10--------10------10---------8-------------------------------------------|
|------8---------0------10---------6-------------------------------------------|
|------8-----------------8---------6-------------------------------------------|

"Across 50 states of mind, I didn't feel inclined..."

Fsus Am C A#

- There is a bridge-type thing which follows this pattern: Dm C Am G

Dm: xx0231 or x57765

- A lead guitar arpeggiates the Fsus, Am, C and A# chords in the following

pattern:

 |---------1--------1------------0----------------------0---------0------1----1-|
 |------1----1---------------1------1---------------1------1-----------3---3----|
 |---2----------2--------2-------------2--------0-------------0------3-------3--|
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And that is really the whole song.
