Sometime To Return - Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum Sometime to Return from the CD "Hang Time" Transcribed by Sean Carey (smcarey@mmm.com) Guess it's my turn to finally contribute something to the archives. I have a few corrections to add to TJGriffey@aol.com's transcription (included at the end of this file). It's basically right, but some of the notation is confusing, I definitely don't agree with how the pre-chorus (bridge?) is played, and I transcribed the solo and a key change that were left out. As always, comments, corrections, etc. are welcome. Anyway, here it is: Intro: e-|-------7-5-4-5--5p4-5p4-5p4----5p4-5p4-7-7-7-7-7-7---||-- B-|-----7----------------------5------------------------||-- G-|---8------------------------------------------------o||-- two D-|-9--------------------------------------------------o||-- times A-|-----------------------------------------------------||-- E-|-----------------------------------------------------||--

Sean Carey smcarey@mmm.com --------------------------------------------------------------- ---- (original transcription by TJGriffey@aol.com follows) ---- --------------------------------------------------------------- This is probably one of their best songs ever and my favorite disc. This is the way my band played it so any suggestions or corrections would be appreciated. Also, if anyone knows all the lyrics let me know. If you like this let me know and I post more old Soul Asylum stuff.
