All my Own Work

A beautiful effin' song, one of the best off Daydream Nation, probably one
of my favorite songs ever. i figured this out in standard tuning which
means its not the way they play it,but it sounds pretty spot on to me
so, whatever. Give your strings a break.

Intro (im not giving the rhythm, just listen to the song and you should
get the gist)
E---------------------
A---------------------
D---------------------
G-0--0----0--0----0--0
B-0--0----3--1----0--0
E-5--3----0--0----2--0
play that for a little bit, and the hit the distortion pedal for the
next part(im attempting the rhythm here, but its still probably neccesary
to listen to the songto pick it up)

Figure 1

E-------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------
D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0--0-----0----
G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2^2-2-2-2-2-2s-6(x8)-5(X8)
B-------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------

you play that about four times and then go into this

Figure 2

E-------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------
D-9--2--5--2--9--2--5--2--222-2p1-1-1-1-1-1-2p1-1-1-1-1-1-----
G-------------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------

you can play the 2p1 part as power chords if you wanna get that nice, thick,
metalsound on your own.

And now the Verse (the lyrics arnt in time, they're just there to identify
the section)

E-----------
A-----------
D-2-2--2-2-2
G-0-0--0-0-0
B-0-0--0-0-0
E-0-0--0-0-0
"let's go walking on the water..."

E------------------
A------------------
D------------------
G-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
E-2-2-0-0-0-5-3-0-0
"i wanna know...should i stay or go..."

the rest of the track is basically variations of the above. I hope this
helps all of youtuner-less sonic youth fans out there. If you have any
questions, comments, or excessive praise, email me at Spark750@aol.com.
