Harvey TECLO by P.J. Harvey from the Island release "To Bring You My Love" submitted Dec. 18, 1995 From: Peter Mosinskis -- [email protected] This is a great album (naturally; great artist, great album). I have somewhat confirmed the following chords by watching the band play live. There are 3 main parts to this song: Intro/General Rhythm, Lead, and Chorus... ========================= Intro Chords Strings 6 5 4 3 2 1 Am x 0 2 2 x x Am? x 0 2 3 x x Em 0 2 2 x x x G 3 2 (2) x x x G* x x 0 0 0 x Intro Chords and General Rhythm: Play the below figures with a tremolo effect. Actually, I think these chords run through the length of the song, except for the last verse and the "let me ride" choruses. One guitarist plays this, the other one (Joe Gore) plays the lead line. Listen to the album for rhythm. Am / Am? / Am / Em / G / Em / G Am / Am? / Am / G* / Em / Em / G (or G*) ======================= Lead Line: Pluck the following individual notes (should be played completely on the E string, I saw it live) E F# G /D D B (the /D means to slide up to the D) ======================= Chorus This is for the "let it ride part". It is a kind of arpeggio, and because of the sound, it should probably be played the following way (near the 12th fret), with the guitar's pickup selector on the NECK pickup, to get a nice, round, bell-like tone. (Please email me with corrections--I'm not very sure on this part). The stretch from the C to the 12th Fret D can be a bit tough... e------------------------------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------12----------------------------12--------------- A-----------10-----------10-------------12-------------12------- E-----12-------------------------10------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------------------ B----------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------10---------------12----------------10---------- A-----------10------------10-----------------10--------------10-- E-----8-------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics: Listen to the song, you'll get the idea (Play Rhythm) Long goes the night Longer the day Teclo your death Will send me to my grave (Play Chorus and Lead) (Play Rhythm) I learned to beg I learned to pray Send me his love Send him to me again (Play Chorus) Let me ride Let me ride Let me ride on his grace for a while Let me ride Let me ride Just let me ride on his grace for a while Long goes the night Longer the day Teclo your death Will send me to my grave Let me ride Let me ride Just let me ride on his grace for a while Let me ride Let me ride Just let me ride on your grace for a while Chorus (play Lead and Chorus) just let me ride From: Peter Mosinskis -- [email protected]
