Thick ~~by Tonic from Lemon Parade Transcribed by Tom Frank @ Unsheated@aol.com This song is played with pretty heavy distortion, but there is also an acoustic guitar thrown in there by Hart like he does in mostly all of Tonic's songs. It's fine to play without an acoustic guitar, which is actually the third guitar used anyway in the song, because it doesn't make much of a difference when playng it. The song is played in standard tuning. All chords are played as power chords except for Dm as shown below... F G C D Dm (E) -1----3----3----5----1 (B) -1----3----3----5----3 (G) -2----4----5----7----2 (D) -3----5----5----7----0 (A) -3----5----3----5----x (E) -1----3----x----x----x
symbols used for ~ = hammer down, p = palm mute, / = slide up, \ = slide down, ^ = bend half step Here's the order it's played in: Intro Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Solo Intro Chorus Outro (heavy Intro) It's played like this... Intro: (just one guitar and vocals) Dm 1------1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1-11-11-0-00-1 3------3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-33-33-3-33-3 2------2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-22-22-2-22-2 0------0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-00-00-0-00-0 x------x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x-xx-xx-x-xx-x -------x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x-xx-xx-x-xx-x Oh my sugar she ...

You can see what i mean if you play along with the song. Also, only palm mute while playing F and G...play C znd D clearly and fully open.

Solo: I don't know what's played behind the solo, but here's the lead: ------------------------------------------------------- -10-----10-----10-----11------------------------------- --9------9------9-----10-----9---9---9-----9---9--10--- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------8/11-11--------- -9\7-5~7----5-5-5~7-5-5--------7-----5----------------- -----------------------7----7---5/7-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- -7/9-9-9------7/9-9-9------7/9-9-9------7/10-10-10----- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- The outro is just basically the intro played heavier and with two guitars. I have a feeling tht it might not be the same Dm played, because i think i can hear a higher note sometimes. So for the outro you can try playing 56775x instead of 1320xx. That's the whole song for ya.
