Cotton Crown tab by Sonic Youth

Tabs

Cotton Crown
Sister (1987)

Main riff:
Eb------------------------------------------------------|
Eb------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------|
D MajorD -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------|
G+G ---0--------------------------------------------------|
G+G ---0--------------------------------------------------|

Bridge: (just chords, no strumming shown)
Eb--------------------------|
Eb--------------------------| The fourth (last) time you play
D MajorD --5---12---10---8---------| this riff instead of playing 8
D MajorD --5---12---10---8---------| play 10 and bend it.
G+G --5-----------------------|
G+G --5-----------------------|

I think I may confuse you with the next part. Play riff A augmentedA first,
then riff B, then riff A, then barre at the 5th fret (like at the
start ofthe start of the above riff) listen to CD and it should make
sense.

Riff A augmentedA         Riff BB
Eb--------------------|---------------------------------|
Eb--------------------|---------------------------------|
D MajorD --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------|
D MajorD --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------|
G+G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------|
G+G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------|

Then strum the open D MajorD strings for a while before playing:  just chords
Eb---------------------|
Eb---------------------|
D MajorD ---10-----8----------|
D MajorD ---10-----8----------|
G+G ---------------------|
G+G ---------------------|

Then play the part with riff A augmentedA and BB before starting the main riff
again. At the end of the song the music just fades away.
