Tonight tab by Violent Femmes

My arrangement of the guitar portion of "Tonight" can be played by
anyone who knows how to move a barre chord up and down the neck. It might be
incorrect but it doesn't sound like it is. If you disagree, or if you have
other questions, comments or additions, write me at meunier.1@osu.edu

            "Tonight"(Gordon Gano)

Performed by Violent Femmes on "ROCK!!!"(1995)
Transcribed by Bryson Meunier

  main riff-
    G5          C5   D5
  E---------------------------------------------------|
  B---------------------------------------------------|
  G----------------------x-5--5--5\\7--7--7-----------|
  D----5--5--5--5--5---5-x-5--5--5\\7--7--7-----------|
  A----5--5--5--5--5---5-x-3--3--3\\5--5--5-----------|
  E----3--3--3--3--3---3------------------------------|

    Play this riff as freely as possible. Just strum it to the rhythm of
the song and it should sound alright. The timing can be best determined by
listening to the music but a good guideline to follow is to start the riff
when Gordon says "Tonight..." and start it again when he says "get" as in
"get high," "get laid,"etc. It's really not that hard to understand if
you're listening to the music.

making a G#5-C#5-D#5 progression:
