Can U Dig IT? - The Mock Turtles   tabbed by
UnholySmoke   Feb '03

 Standard tuning

   This is a great tune from 1991, from the album
'Turtle Soup.' It's a
 reworked B-side of the Mock Turtles' first big hit,
'Lay Me Down,' and it's
 about to be re-released after having been in the new
Vodafone advert. Head to
 http://www.global-trance.co.uk/Mock_Turtles.html for
more about the band and
 the tune.

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
   All chords are played as low on the fretboard as
possible. The bass is all
 over the shop in this one, which makes some of the
chords a bit tough to pick
 out, especially in bits like the middle 8 and the
solo. There's a keyboard part
 played over the top of the verses and most of the
chorus, but it doesn't come
 off too well played on the guitar. Suffice to say
it's the scale of E - the
 4th, 5th and 7th frets of the high E string are there
or thereabouts. There's
 also a Keyboard playing some rhythm - best heard
during the middle 8, which is
 E and D. Note the difference between the first chorus
and the second and third
 - there's an extra run round the C#m bit; the line
'You keep insisting on
 everything.' Not also that the verse and chorus
chords ARE NOT THE SAME!
   The toughest part of the whole thing is the
intro, which is finger-picked
 very fast, varies pretty much every time it's played,
and is also strangely
 timed in places - it's not exactly as it 'feels' like
it should be.


 Intro/Main Riff - Crunchy, mid-scooped tone, finger
picked
 ===============


e----------------------------------------------------------------------------

B-------9-----9-----10-----10-----10-----11-----11-----11---10-----10--------

G-----9---9-----9------9------9------9------9------9-----------9------9---9--

D---9-------9-----9------9------9------9------9------9----9------9------9----

 Round twice, then drums and ascending bass intro

 Then second guitar comes in, similar sound to guitar
1:

  E B F#m A


 Verse 1

 Chorus - with Intro riff
 ======

      E    B   F#m   A

  Can you dig it? (Oh yeah)

  Can you dig it? (Oh yeah)

  Can you dig it? (Oh yeah)

      c#m   B    A
       x
  Can you dig it - what I'm saying?

  C#m         B   A

    One little kiss isn't anything

        B

  I won't be sad

    A

  But someone ...


 This is played in each chorus where the 'x'
 appears above - plenty of reverb;

  e------4---------------0--
  B----5--------4------2----
  D--6--------4------2------
   C#m    B   A


 Verse 2
 =======

  E   A  F#m      A

 Chorus 2

  C#m         B   A

    One little kiss isn't anything

  C#m         B   A

    You keep insisting on everything

        B

  I won't be sad

    A

  But someone turned the lights on


 Middle 8 & Solo
 ===============

 Fingerpicky intro riff as above - Played twice over
continuous E chord,
 then D Chord, with zooming bass. The riff is
*slightly* varied from the
 other times it's played, but it's so quick as to not
be that
 noticeable.

 Solo, plenty of reverb and work that wah baby!


e--15\\\---------------------------------------------

B----------12----10----12----14--10------------------

G------------------------------------9----7----------

D-------------------------------------------9-7-9----

 Played twice over B, twice over A, then twice over D


 Chorus 3
 ========

 As Chorus 2

 Then four times:

  E

  Can you dig it?
