Okay, here is my tab of "Dreams Burn Down" by Ride, from the album Nowhere (1990) A Few notes, so far this tab is only for the Rhythm Guitar (Mark Gardener), i will try to put the Lead Guitar tab (Andy Bell) when i finally "decipher" what is Andy playing To play this song, you need a few things, first, you need a ton of reverb (a Shoegaze standard lol), an Overdrive or Distortion and finally, is not completly necessary, but is what i hear and i have seen in live shows, is a tremolo bar, from a Stratocaster, a Jaguar, a Jazzmaster, etc. Something like that, Mark Gardener plays a Fender Jaguar in this case, you need to play and strum at the same time, something that My Bloody Valentine also does (Glide Guitar) Also, listen to the song really carefully, because with the amount of Drive and Reverb is kind of hard to do the exact strum, so i put the tab, but you figure out the strum. Comment any correction or suggestion! here is the tab!

E|---0---------| B|---2---------| G|---2---------| D|---2---------| A|---0---------| E|-------------| That's all Lying under sky, She laughs at everything I say, And pulls me under. There's no time to resist. Lying on the floor, There's no time to resist, Lying on the floor, The tears are falling down and more. Her eyes speak loud, But actions speak the best Waiting, hoping for a sign, That what's forbidden can be mine. I just want what I can't have, Until my dreams burn down every time. She's effortlessly cool, But circumstances can be cruel. And sometimes you must accept, That you can't always get what you want. We fill up our days and nights. We fill up the gaps in our empty little lives. But we know we are doomed, The moment we walk out the room.
