Here's an ear-catching Sonic Youth song (off of Sister) that can be played with normal tunage. The basic chord structure (and the intro) is: E5 D#5 A5 E -------------------------------------------------------------------------- B -------------------------------------------------------------------------- G -9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8---------------- D -9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7--7--7--7-7-7- A -7--7--7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6--6--6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-7--7--7--7-7-7- E -----------------------------------------------------------5--5--5--5-5-5-

(Riff) I cross myself, ... E5 D#5 A5 Because I am not ... (Riff) Digging ... E5 D#5 A5 Learning ... (Riff played twice) We cross it out ... (after this part, the sonic noise steps in for awhile then it goes back to the intro again) E5 D#5 A5 Bur-ning ... (Riff) We cross it ... The song gets sonically noisy again with the high E-string riff playing repeatedy. And that is it!
