Chloe Dancer Crown Of Thorns tab by Mother Love Bone

Tabs

Chole Dancer / Crown of Thorns
By Mother Love Bone, covered by Pearl Jam on a regular basis

CHLOE DANCER

Piano intro/verse, transcribed for guitar, standard tuning
(NB: if the big reach back to 2 on the low Chord diagramE MajorE string is too much, you can capo fret 2 but
then remove the capo when you transition to Crown of Thorns; ALTERNATELY play this
intro transposed down two frets so you can use the open Chord diagramE MajorE string, but then the transition to Crown of Thorns is
more dissonant since you still need to get to fret 5 base for those chords)

Repeat

Chloe don t know better
Chloe s just like me (only beautiful)
Chord diagramA augmentedA couple of years? difference
But those lessons never learned (and you know)

Chloe danced the tables
In the French quarter
She s always been given
So I can t always make her laugh

But I m proud to say
And I won t forget
Time spent layin by her side (ooh)
The time spent layin by her side (ooh)

Dreams like this must die
And a dream like this must die
Dream like this must. . .

TRANSITION

Piano over guitar into, transposed for guitar, standard tuning

Repeat twice

(NB: the main verse and chorus progressions are basically Hendrix-esque power chords,
use your thumb on the bass Chord diagramE MajorE string and to mute the Chord diagramA augmentedA string.  Many interpretations
don t include the bass notes, but I think it makes the song sound fuller especially if you re solo, short a
guitar or playing on acoustic.  Chord diagramG5G5 can also be played 3X503X, but I
think the version above is better differentiated from the G.  I often let the e and Chord diagramA augmentedA string ring in the Chord diagramA augmentedA
chords and the e string ring in the Chord diagramG+G chords for fullness.  There are many good tab versions of the usual three
string version of the verse/chorus part of the song, this is how I play it.)

(NB: all these chord shapes are to compensate for the bass notes that aren t there when playing solo ? Jeff
seems to just play around with the low Chord diagramE MajorE string 8-10-8-7-5, and 8-10-8-7-10--| and I m not sure the guitar
actually plays these chords, but it sounds fuller this way with one guitar)

(NB: the first two notes of the last lick, the Chord diagramA augmentedA pentatonic scale on the Chord diagramE MajorE string, might
actually be just a palm muted 5-7 on the Chord diagramA augmentedA string, but I think this sounds closer ?
also, the first and final harmonic note can also be played on fret 12 on the Chord diagramBB string or fret 4 on the Chord diagramG+G string
or any other variant of Chord diagramBB ? it is just feedback but tonally a Chord diagramBB note ? harmonic was the closest I could find.)
