Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound

Spellbound Artist: Siouxsie And The Banshees Album: Juju As played here: https://youtu.be/X5NwzIJ1ZHc Tuning: Standard This song is pretty tricky to play. John McGeoch was a genius. (RIP) For FX, use flanger and maybe a tiny-bit of overdrive or crunch. John McGeoch used an MXR Flanger and a Roland Jazz Chorus amplifier. *Note: This is my own interpretation of the song. This is how I personally play it. A video of me playing it can be seen at the YouTube link above.* [Intro] e|-----------------0----------1----------3-------------| B|-------3-3-----3---3-3----3---3---------3------------| G|-----5--------------------------------5--5-----------| x2 D|---3----------0-0-0-0---------------3----------------| A|--5-5-5-5----------------2-2-2-2-3/5-5---------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| [Verse 1] "From the cradle bars, comes a beckoning voice". e|-----------------0----------1----------3-------------| B|-------3-3-----3---3-3----3---3---------3------------| G|-----5--------------------------------5--5-----------| x2 D|---3----------0-0-0-0---------------3----------------| A|--5-5-5-5----------------2-2-2-2-3/5-5---------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| [Chorus 1] Strummed very fast - listen to song for strumming pattern. e|----------6---5---3-| B|-6---8----6---5---3-| G|-3---5----0---0---0-| x2 D|-5---7--------------| A|-3---5--------------| E|--------------------| [Post-Chorus 1] e|----------------------| B|-----1---3---4--------| G|---1--1-1-1-1-1-------| D|--3-3--3---3---3------| A|-1--------------------| E|----------------------| [Verse 2] "You hear laughter, cracking through the walls, it sends you spinning, you have no choice". e|-----------------0----------1----------3-------------| B|-------3-3-----3---3-3----3---3---------3------------| G|-----5--------------------------------5--5-----------| x2 D|---3----------0-0-0-0---------------3----------------| A|--5-5-5-5----------------2-2-2-2-3/5-5---------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| [Chorus 2] Strummed very fast - listen to song for strumming pattern.
