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

	When you're down and ....

**** Play this exactly for the first line, but for the rest of the **** lines
after it, slide up from F to G instead of just playing G.  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.


Chorus:

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.
