ONLY TOMORROW BY MY BLOODY VALENTINE
Form the album m b v – (written by Kevin Shields)
I have broken it down into three sections, section A, which is the vocal and the outro,
section B which is the first instrumental and the subsequent pre-outro, and the
interlude which is a short chord sequence used both to link the two sections and also
inserted into the outro. Because of the constantly shifting time signature and expressive,
accentuated chords in the sequences, you will have to work out the exact timings from
the shapes, however, it all makes sense after a few constant listens!
