THE SISTERS OF MERCY - "Black Planet" >Comments, corrections etc. welcome. >Par Svensson, t89par@tdb.uu.se I find this riff a little easier to play than all the stretching in the previous version: Main riffs: e ---5---0------------------- B ----------6--------0------- G -------------7--6---------- D -7---7---------------7----- A --------------------------- E ---------------------------
>e -------------------------3---1-0--- >B -0/1-1--0/1-1--1/3-3-3-3---3------- >G ----------------------------------- >D ----------------------------------- >A ----------------------------------- >E ----------------------------------- >A twelve string guitar plays, at "Run around in the radiation": >e -0-1-----0--0-1-----0--0-1-----0--0-1-----0--- >B ---------------------------1----------1------- >G -----2-2--------2-2----------2----------2----- >D ---------------------------------------------- >A ---------------------------------------------- >E ---------------------------------------------- >...and an Am Gm F pattern at "So still, so dark..." >Listen where to play the respective part. Not that tricky. >The chords are pretty easy, simply Am F in the intro, Am D in >the verses, and Am F in the chorus. >There are several guitars playing on the record. To play it on just >one guitar, the following blend of the chords & riffs can be used >(leave the notes ringing for as long as possible) : >For the Am F pattern : >e ---0---0----1---0---------- >B ------------1-------3-1-0-- >G -2---2---2--2-2---2-------- >D -2----------3-------------- >A -0------------------------- >E --------------------------- >, and for the Am D one : >e ------------------------------------------------------------- >B -0/1-1-1--1-1-1--0/1-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3-3--3-3-3--3---1---0--- >G -2---2-2--2-2-2--2---2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2--3---1---0--- >D -2---2-2--2-2-2--2---2-2--2-2-2--2-0-0-0--0-0-0--2-2---2----- >A -0---0-0--0-0-0--0---0-0--0-0-0--0---------------0-0---0----- >E ------------------------------------------------------------- >(The rhythm of this can look difficult to follow, however it will >hopefully make sense when you listen to the song.)

(It's almost exactly what I'd had about two revisions ago... :) Here's the Real Thing.
