Soul Asylum "Bittersweetheart" >From "Let Your Dim Light Shine" Transcribed by Bryan Pero (perob@willow.uml.edu) Intro: For the intro Dave Pirner pounds out an A chord. Then Dave repeats the intro riff while Dan Murphy (Gtr.2) strums the A chord once and lets it sustain through Dave's little stop-time riff. It looks like this: Gtr.1 (Intro Riff) E-------------------------- B--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2-- G--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2-- repeat D--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2-- A-------------------------- E-------------------------- Gtr. 2(played right before Dave repeats intro riff)
E------------- B------------- G--2-2--2----- D--2-2--2----- A------------- E------------- Okay, for the verses, just strum the chord once, then pick it out going from the high E string up, like an upstroke, only pick out the notes. And just listen to the album for the rythym of the electric distorted parts and anything else that¹s hard to understand here. Verse I A(clean electric) D Why you always wanna get the best .... dog and I E Can't even see, They're naked .... who's A (distortion on) blind and my mind's gone to ... mind A D So I picked up the pieces and I ... stiletto E started stabbin' in the dark .... would A surely fall apart, but it's .... bittersweetheart Chorus: D E Bittersweetheart, B...
