Subject: PROTECT ME YOU by Sonic Youth

What I have transcribed here is the bass part for this dark song off of

both -Confusion Is Sex- and the -Kill Idols- EP. It is very simple and

the bass line repeats through the whole song. I am not sure about the

guitar but it seems to not matter that much.

The bass line for the beginning is an open E, for the rest it is:

G ------------------------------

D ---------------3-----0-----2--

A ------------------------------

E -0--0--0--0-0-----------------

That is it, the lyrics are:

Protect me from ravagement

I am ten years old

I don't know what I do

Pretect my myself

I am fourteen

There's nothing to do

Protect me yourself

I am sixteen

Protect me from starving

I am eighteen

Protect me you

I don't know what you do

Protect me from demons

That come at night

I don't know what they say

They're whispering

Sends the night air away

And makes me forget

I hope they come

Again and again

Here they come

Again and again

I hope they come again

Again

Again
