TECLO by P.J. Harvey from the Island release "To Bring You My Love" submitted Dec. 18, 1995 From: Peter Mosinskis -- pmosinsk@lmumail.lmu.edu This is a great album (naturally; great artist, great album). I have somewhat confirmed the following chords by watching the band play live. There are 3 main parts to this song: Intro/General Rhythm, Lead, and Chorus... ========================= Intro Chords
Strings 6 5 4 3 2 1 Am x 0 2 2 x x Am? x 0 2 3 x x Em 0 2 2 x x x G 3 2 (2) x x x G* x x 0 0 0 x Intro Chords and General Rhythm: Play the below figures with a tremolo effect. Actually, I think these chords run through the length of the song, except for the last verse and the "let me ride" choruses. One guitarist plays this, the other one (Joe Gore) plays the lead line. Listen to the album for rhythm. Am / Am? / Am / Em / G / Em / G Am / Am? / Am / G* / Em / Em / G (or G*) ======================= Lead Line: Pluck the following individual notes (should be played completely on the E string, I saw it live) E F# G /D D B (the /D means to slide up to the D) ======================= Chorus This is for the "let it ride part". It is a kind of arpeggio, and because of the sound, it should probably be played the following way (near the 12th fret), with the guitar's pickup selector on the NECK pickup, to get a nice, round, bell-like tone. (Please email me with corrections--I'm not very sure on this part). The stretch from the C to the 12th Fret D can be a bit tough... e------------------------------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------12----------------------------12--------------- A-----------10-----------10-------------12-------------12------- E-----12-------------------------10------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------------------ B----------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------10---------------12----------------10---------- A-----------10------------10-----------------10--------------10-- E-----8-------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: Listen to the song, you'll get the idea (Play Rhythm) Long ..
