TECLO
by P.J. Harvey
from the Island release "To Bring You My Love"
submitted Dec. 18, 1995

This is a great album (naturally; great artist, great album). I have
somewhat confirmed the following chords by watching the band play
live.
There are 3 main parts to this song: Intro/General Rhythm, Lead, and
Chorus...
=========================
Intro Chords
Strings 6 5 4 3 2 1
Am x 0 2 2 x x
Am? x 0 2 3 x x
Em 0 2 2 x x x
G 3 2 (2) x x x
G* x x 0 0 0 x
Intro Chords and General Rhythm:
Play the below figures with a tremolo effect. Actually, I think these
chords run through the length of the song, except for the last verse
and the "let me ride" choruses. One guitarist plays this, the other
one (Joe Gore) plays the lead line. Listen to the album for rhythm.
Am / Am? / Am / Em / G / Em / G
Am / Am? / Am / G* / Em / Em / G (or G*)
=======================
Lead Line:
Pluck the following individual notes (should be played completely on
the E string, I saw it live)
E F# G /D D B
(the /D means to slide up to the D)
=======================
Chorus
This is for the "let it ride part". It is a kind of arpeggio, and
because of the sound, it should probably be played the following way
(near the 12th fret), with the guitar's pickup selector on the NECK
pickup, to get a nice, round, bell-like tone. (Please email me with
corrections--I'm not very sure on this part). The stretch from the C
to the 12th Fret D can be a bit tough...

Lyrics: Listen to the song, you'll get the idea
(Play Rhythm)
Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
(Play Chorus and Lead)
(Play Rhythm)
I learned to beg
I learned to pray
Send me his love
Send him to me again
(Play Chorus)
Let me ride
Let me ride
Let me ride on his grace for a while
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for a while
Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for a while
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on your grace for a while
Chorus (play Lead and Chorus)
just let me ride
