Soul Coughing Soft Serve Tabbed by: Tre Fabian Email: [email protected] So, this is my first tab. I really like this song, but I only found one guitar tab on the web for it, and its not very good. So, I spent a few hours on youtube watching videos of Mike playing live, and then a few more listening to the song, and this is what I came up with. It may not be entirely accurate, but it should be enough to get you by. Comments are more than welcome. Tuning: Standard w/ capo on 4th fret. Effects: Tremolo pedal. Play around till it sounds right to you. Ok, so with the capo on the 4th, I have no idea what to call these chords, so Im just going to name them as if the capo was the nut. A note about the strumming pattern: the first and third chords (G, Am) are quickly muted after they are played (annotated with the classic Xs. Note that you do not strum on these, more of a palm mute), while the second and fourth are allowed to ring. Also, between each chord there is a string tap which I have annotated with Ts. (not sure what the technical term is, but if you have no idea what I am talking about, you need to listen to the song again. Its very noticeable) ok, now that thats out the way, here we go: Main Riff: this repeats through most of the song. All chords are a single strum. G Dsus Am C e|-------X------T--------------T-------X------T--------------T--| B|-------X------T--7-----------T-----5-X------T--5-----------T--| G|-----4-X------T--6-----------T-----6-X------T--4-----------T--| D|-----4-X------T--4-----------T-----6-X------T--6-----------T--| A|-----6-X------T--------------T-----4-X------T--7-----------T--| E|-----7-X------T--------------T-------X------T--------------T--| Chourus: this has more of a classic strumming feel if you are playing it acoustic. If you are going for the album version, its again single strum per chord and let ring. G Dsus Em F7 e|-----7--------T--------------T--------------T--------------T--| B|-----7--------T--7-----------T--------------T--------------T--| G|-----4--------T--6-----------T-----4--------T--------------T--| D|-----4--------T--4-----------T-----4h6------T--7-----------T--| A|---4h6--------T--------------T-----4h6------T--7-----------T--| E|---4h7--------T--------------T-----4--------T--5-----------T--| Ok, so here is what it looks like with words: Intro: main riff 4xThe body like Gsoft serve, Esusdripping down in the June sun, AmTried to shoot a Cthought, but the thought sunk.GNothing to do but Esusscratch words in the dirt and AmWatch the water Croll down.(Main riff 1x)GPhantom kisses buzzingEsus like the insects. AmBeads of sweat Cdripping down on the rent check.GMy CandylEsusand melted down to syrup while I AmWatched the water Croll down.(Main riff 1x)hey the Glust comes into Esusphaze, but you're Emdown in MariF7etta.(Chorus riff 1x)So Gsweet my mouth was Esusseared, But the Emwords you mouthed wereF7 sweeter.(Chorus riff 1x)My SisGter, Esus Your Amwords can be held agCainst youin a court of Glaw. Esus Am C My SisGter, EsusYou Amowe no allegiance Cto the facts, yeah Gtalking like the saint Esuson the site of the accident.Am CGTalking like the clause Esusin the lease about the late rent.Am C GRinging like the random Esuscall patched to the payphone.Am CTalking like the water Grolls dowEsusn. AmWatch the water Croll down.And, here Gcomes the lust in Esusphaze, but you're Emdown in MariF7etta.(Chorus riff 1x)So Gsweet my mouth was Esusseared, But the Emwords you mouthed were F7sweeter.(Chorus riff 1x)GTalking like the saint Esuson the site of the accident.Am C GTalking like the botched Esusshot, attempt on the President.Am CGRinging like the change Esusin the legless man's Dixie Cup.Am C Talking like the water rolGls downEsus.AmWatch the water Croll down, now.Ok, this is where the guitar stops on the album, and the drums and keyboard pretty much finish out the song. Which is all good, but if you play this acoustic, or you dont happen to have drums and a keyboard playing with you, you can just do some palm muting of the main riff for this part, and finish off with the main riff normal style for the last bit. Unless, of course, you like the acapella sound, in which case, go nuts. Day Undone, (12x) Watch the water roll down. Day Undone, (12x) Watch the water roll down.GWatch the water Esusroll down. AmWatch the water Croll down.GWatch the water Esusroll down. AmWatch the water Croll down.So, thats it.
