------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crazy Rhythms – The Feelies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ruairi E-mail: Tuning: Standard Alright so I have most of this tabbed out however there is a part that Glenn plays during the long instrumental part that I just can’t figure out. Guitar 1: Glenn Mercer Guitar 2: Bill Million Guitar 1 opens the song with what sounds like A5 and A. Most of the song is D and A which you can figure out the rhythm of by listening to the song. After the first chorus there is a lengthy instrumental part. THE INTRUMENTAL MIDDLE SECTION THING: Switch between these chords for a while. Both guitars play this part. e|--------------------0---0---0----------------------------------------------| B|--------------------5---7---5----------------------------------------------| G|--------------------6---6---7----------------------------------------------| D|--------------------7---7---7----------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 1 also plays this (or something similar, it’s pretty much improvised) during the above part. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----7-----5-----5-----5------------------| G|-----6-----6-----6-----7-----6-----6-----6-----6-----6---------------------| D|--7------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Whilst guitar 1 still plays the first section guitar 2 plays this a few times. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-222223222222--------------------------------------------------------------| G|-222222222224--------------------------------------------------------------| D|-222222222222--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 1 plays the A barre chord whilst guitar 2 plays this. The last note is sometimes not played live but I’m pretty sure it’s in the studio version. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--7---5--------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--6-------6---7---6--------------------------------------------------------| D|--7-------------------7---5------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-12---10---9---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------12---10-----------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------11---9--------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 2 then proceeds to play the A chord which you can palm mute or (as Bill does during live performances) strum up the fret board away from the pick-ups. Guitar 1 plays something during this part but I haven’t figured it out fully although here is the general gist of it. (not 100% accurate) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------4------------------------5/(7)-------9-------5/(7)-------5(x2)| E|-3/(5)---7-------3/(5)---7---5(x3)-----------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----5/777777777977777777775(x5)-------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------5-------------------------------------| Both guitars then play the G and A chord (listen to the song for the rhythm, Glenn plays the barre chord variation of G seemingly) before going back to the A chord. After a few seconds guitar 1 just adds the 3rd fret of the high E to the a chord whilst guitar 2 plays this a few times. e|13-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|12-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|12-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Both guitars play the final verse with the A and D chord before finishing along the lines of this: D A D A D A D A D A D A D D D A D D D A D D D D D D A Both guitars slide the final down to around the 12th fret (maybe higher) and improvise single notes until the end. Ending on A and not doing the improvisation sounds good too. And that’s it. Glenn’s part isn't 100% accurate but it can be improvised. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend | () Not played ************************************
