From: hyson@cis.ohio-state.edu (david lincoln hyson) I saw a request awhile back for this, and haven't seen a response. Here's my try, constructive criticisms are appreciated. REM The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight ----------------------------- Intro, same as chorus: D////G//C//Am/ D////G//C//Am/ D////G//C//Am/ The transition to the verses: C Em e---------0-----|---------0---------| B-------------1-|-------------0-----| G---------------|-------------------| D-----2---------|-------------------| A-3-------------|-----2-------------| E---------------|-0-----------------| Verse 1: (* For all the verses, the F's, C's, and Am's are played as barre chords, the F's in A formation, the C's and Am's in E form. He upstrokes them in pairs, on what sounds like a big hollowbody electric. The placement of the chords over the words here is inteneded only to to denote their *approximate* temporal location. Listen to the song and you'll be able to hear and feel where they actually go.*)
