Distant Voices
Razorblade Suitcase
Transcribed by Joe Hale

I worked on this song some more, and have come up with a
more accurate transcription. I decided to show how each
part is played rather than just showing the chords.
Although I showed what notes to play off each chord, they
may be a little different from the record; I just play the
notes which I think sound best. At any rate, I have
included every part of the song(rhythm and lead), and it is
very accurate.

a|--4-2-4-4-2-4-2-2--5-5-5----|
E|--2-0-2-2-0-2-0-0--3-3-3-0--|

After the first bridge, both guitars play something
similar to the intro. It goes like this:
e|-(0)-------------------(0)-------------------------------|
b|-(0)-------------------(0)-------------------------------|
g|--7--------/11---------\7--------/11---------------------|
d|----(x14)-------(x14)-----(x14)--------------------------|

The notes in parenthesis indicate notes
which Guitar 2 randomly plays.

Verse 3:
(both guitars w/tremolo and slight distortion)
Play A3 and B2 two times.

Second Pre-Chorus:

Guitar 1 plays D1 two times again, while Guitar 2 does
a slight variation of D2 that goes like this:

e|--5--------3----------2----------|
b|--5---5----3-3--------2----------|
g|--6-6---6--4---4-4-4--3----------|
d|--7-----7--5-----5----4-(4)------|
a|--7--------5----------4---(4)----|
E|--5--------3----------2-----(2)--|

The notes in parenthesis are played on the first time only.

Third Chorus:

Guitar 1 and 2 both play C3 and C4 two times again,
with heavy distortion(left on for rest of song) and
no tremolo(left off for rest of song).


F1:Guitar 1

e|--------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------|
g|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
d|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
a|---9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9/-10-10-10-10\--|
E|--------------------------------------------|

F2:Guitar 2
                 *
e|--------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------|
g|--11-11-x-x-11-11-x-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
d|--11-11-x-x-11-11-x-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
a|---9--9-x-x--9--9-x--9--9--9/-10-10-10-10\--|
E|--------------------------------------------|

Play that two times, then play C3(both guitars)
one time. After that, Guitar 1 plays F2 four
times while Guitar 2 does this:
                       *
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|----11-----------12-12--------11-11-------(12)12-12-----|
g|/11~---11~-11/12-12-12-12\11~-------11~-11/12-12-12-----|
d|--------------------------------------------------------|
a|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

*song ends on this note/chord (G)

BTW, Guitar 1 might be clean when Guitar 2 is slightly
distorted, but I prefer them both distorted.
