Pearl

transcribed by edmond hum (rlp@interlog.com)

Basic chords: Dmin, F, C (in weirdish shapes, tabs follow)

Fmaj C Dmin

e--O e--O e--1-|

b--1 b--1 b--3-|

g--2 g--O g--2-|

d--3 d--2 d----|O

a--X a--3 a--X-|

E--X E--X E--X-|

Riff:

Fmaj9 C Dmin rep: Dmin

e--------O--O--|--------O--O--|--1--1--1----1----|
b--------1--1--|--------1--1--|--3--3--3----3----|
g-----2--2--O--|--------O--O--|--2--2--2pO--Oh2--|
d--3-----3--O--|-----2--2--O--|--O--O--O----O----|
a--------------|--3-----3--O--|------------------|
e--------------|--------------|------------------|

That vamped chord that comes between verses and before the middle 8 is

the Fmaj7

Here's the little fill-up that comes at the beginning and between verses:

Fmaj7

e--O--O--O--3p2pO-----------O--|
b--1--1--1---------3--O--3-----|
g--2--2--2---------------------|
d--3--3--3---------------------|
a--X--X--X---------------------|
E--X--X--X---------------------|

So the verse would be like: (forgive me for I'm doing this from memory

and I'll definitly get the lyrics wrong)

Fmaj7 C

Hot hands

Dmin

Fmaj7 C

Move me

Dmin

Fmaj7 C D

I write on these walls

Fmaj7 C D

I have no heart at all F7:F7


?

Fmaj7 (vamp to fill)

You get the picture.

As for the bridge, it's a pretty simple ascending line, but fuck me if I

can figure out the bleeding key, though I think it's from A so:

A - B - C - D

All majors, and each last for a full measure before changing. If you have

any better ideas, please tell me. I haven't figured out the solos, I

tend just to go a touch off my head and improvise, but I'll work on it and

get you that in the future.

Another hint, I know Kristen plays it like I wrote it above, but when I

first started work on it I played a slightly (only very) different way,

that was easier and sounded smashing:

Simply substitute these chords for the original ones (same root):

F6 C9 D9

e--O e--O e----|O

b--3 b--3 b--3-|

g--2 g--O g--2-|

d--3 d--2 d--0-|

a--X a--3 a--X-|

E--X E--X E--X-|
