Rhymes Of An Hour by Mazzy Star Written by David Roback and Hope Sandoval Tabbed by CJWilky Having listened to the studio and several live versions there are still two lines I'm not certain of: "While the cold winter waving While you stone the crow" Comments and corrections very welcome. Main Riff D5 D5 D5 D5 C e|---5-5---5-5---5---5-5---5-5---5---5-5---5-5---5---5-5---5-5-----------------| B|---3-3---3-3---3---3-3---3-3---3---3-3---3-3---3---3-3---3-3-----------------| G|---2-2---2-2---2---2-2---2-2---2---2-2---2-2---2---2-2---2-2-----------------| D|-0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0-2-----0-------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------3-0h3-------0-| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------0h3---| The main riff is picked. For the intro it is as above, D5 for 4 bars, C for 1 bar. Then the same pattern but D5 x2 C x1, and back to D5 before the verse begins. The e string is often muted to varying degrees through the song. Break Riff G G G G C e|---5-5---3-5---3p2h3-3~3~--3~3~--3---3-5---3-3~--3---3-3---3-3---3-------------| B|---3-3---3-----3-----3~3~--3~3~--3---3-3---3-3---3---3-3---3-3---3-------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-0-----0-----0-------0-0---0-0---0---0-----0-0---0---0-0---0-0---0-----0-------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------0h3-------0-| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------0h3---| A D5 begins on the "know" of "I think you know" and continues for 2 bars before the G of the break riff begins. No Capo Though if strumming, try the D (instead of D5) and C barred in the "A position" at 5 and 3, with G at 3 in the "E position". It also sounds good with the D and C barred in the "E position" at 10 and 8. Strumming DUU nicely approximates the riff especially if you only hit the bass note on the Down. Intro: D5 C D5 C D5 D5 Cannot hear what you're saying C D5 Could I tell you so And I can't believe my troubles C D5 And I'm going home C D5 Lie and sleep C D5 Under deep C D5 C D5 You know D5 While the cold winter waving C D5 While you stone the crow Of these things we were certain C D5 Now we just don't know C D5 Lie and sleep C D5 Under deep C D5 I think you know Break: G C D5 C D5 D5 For the rhymes of an hour C D5 Now I'm going home And I can't believe I'm nothing C D5 'Cause I'm coming down C D5 Lie and sleep C D5 Under deep C D5 C D5 You know Outro: D5 C D5 C D5 x4
