Pop Life by Soulwax

Tabs

Song: Pop Life
Artist: Soulwax (although it is a Prince cover)

Label: PIAS
Witers: Prince
Tab by: Gavin Miller
This is my own work, as it isn't in any Tab books anyway!

okay, so this is probably the easiest song ever, as the chorus is pretty
much the same as the verse, and its just a few notes anyway!
As for playing, guitarist David uses a really old, retro 80s Casio guitar,
so i'd think about using some sort of effect on the guitar to make it
sound synthesised. Or just play it whatever, it still sounds great anyway!
As it is a live recording, it will be different every time, but the jist
of it goes like this-

Intro:

E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------
A---3-3-3-----3-3-3-----9h10----3-3-3-----0-1-3---3-3-3---14/3-
E---------------------------------------0-------------------

it's as simple as that. And for the bit where it's "14/3", you
don't need to start on 14, just anywhere high.

Verse no.1
(this all depends on what recording you have)

E-------------------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------
A--3-3-3--3-3-3---3---7-7-7--7-7-7---7---8-8-8--8-8-8---8-----------
E---------------------------------------------------------4--4--4--4

Verse no.2, and all subsequent verses
(again, depends on what copy of the song you have)

E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------
A--3-3-3--------3--7-7-7----------7--8-8-8-----------8--------------
E-------------------------------------------------------4--4--4--4-

The Chorus is EXACTLY the same as Verse no.1

Cue the mad drum solo from the Casio guitar, and then it's back to
Intro, then the Verse no.2 pattern.
I'd strongly recommend you play along to the copy of the song you have.

Everybody: "C-A-S-I-O"!!
