The Cranberries – Zombie (Tabs)

The Cranberries – Zombie (Tab) Zombie has had a strange journey from song about the troubles in Northern Ireland to a halloween staple. A change that some people might be happy to see. I remember the band Therapy? (who, unlike The Cranberries, are from Northern Ireland) attacking the song for its over-the-top imagery. The chords […]

Dolly Parton – Jolene (Tabs)

Dolly Parton – Jolene (Tab) Following on from I Will Always Love You with the song Dolly wrote on the same day. I don’t know how it’s possible to write two all-time classics in one day. The arrangement starts out with a very basic version of the chorus. You could play the verse in this […]

Dolly Parton – I Will Always Love You (Tabs)

Dolly Parton – I Will Always Love You (Tab) I Will Always Love You is one of those songs where a cover version has completely obliterated the original. But Dolly’s version is still my favourite. Specifically, the 70s countrified version rather than the syrupy 80s version. So I used that one as the basis for […]

Tenacious D – Fuck Her Gently (Tabs)

Tenacious D – Fuck Her Gently (Tab) Here’s my take on Jack Black and Kyle Gass’s lewd ode to soft loving. But if you don’t tell anyone what the title is, it functions nicely as a pleasant tune. The jump up the neck at the start of the chorus (bars 19 and 20) is particularly […]

In Heaven (from Eraserhead) (Tabs)

Peter Ivers & David Lynch – In Heaven (Tab) If you’re ever in the mood for a strange but hilarious movie, I highly recommend Eraserhead. One of the film’s many joys is the Lady in the Radiator song. The song has had a life outside the movie as In Heaven becoming a Pixies live favourite […]

Frank and Nancy Sinatra – Something Stupid (Tabs)

Frank and Nancy Sinatra – Something Stupid (Tab) Something Stupid was made famous by Frank and Nancy Sinatra and written by C Carson Parks (who I just learned is brother of Van Dyke Parks). More recently, Lola Marsh recorded a ukulele version for Better Call Saul. There’s plenty of scope for your own noodles if […]
