"STILL....YOU TURN ME ON"
by Greg Lake. Performed by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
From ' Brain Salad Surgery '
TABLATURE: By Jeff Nicolaus (jnicolaus@msn.com) Aug. 29, 1997.
TUNING: Played on an acoustic 12 string guitar with a flat pick.
Tune 1st strings (low E) down to D ( D A D G B E ).
G strings (12 string guitar) have to be tuned in
octaves, not unison, to achieve the proper effect with
this TAB.
ARRANGEMENT: Taken off studio version (Brain Salad Surgery).
Some guitar drowned out by harpsicord. Live versions might
vary slightly, if played on 6 string, same tuning.
Time signature : 4/4

Band : EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER
Song : STILL YOU TURN ME ON ...
Album : Brain salad surgery, Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Tabbed by : Raphaël Chaize, student in Nice, France
As I have promised it to you, here is the tabbed "Still you turn me on",
a song written by Greg Lake for ELP. I have transcripted here the
version of the album "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" for it was easier
to transcribe since Greg sang it only with the guitar, whereas the
guitar is not easily audible in "Brain Salad Surgery", due to Emerson's
surrounding organs.
The guitar is tuned as following : D-A-D-G-B-E
