Pearl
transcribed by edmond hum (rlp@interlog.com)
Basic chords: Dmin, F, C (in weirdish shapes, tabs follow)
Fmaj C Dmin
e--O e--O e--1-|
b--1 b--1 b--3-|
g--2 g--O g--2-|
d--3 d--2 d----|O
a--X a--3 a--X-|
E--X E--X E--X-|
Riff:
Fmaj9 C Dmin rep: Dmin
e--------O--O--|--------O--O--|--1--1--1----1----|
b--------1--1--|--------1--1--|--3--3--3----3----|
g-----2--2--O--|--------O--O--|--2--2--2pO--Oh2--|
d--3-----3--O--|-----2--2--O--|--O--O--O----O----|
a--------------|--3-----3--O--|------------------|
e--------------|--------------|------------------|
That vamped chord that comes between verses and before the middle 8 is
the Fmaj7
Here's the little fill-up that comes at the beginning and between verses:
Fmaj7
e--O--O--O--3p2pO-----------O--|
b--1--1--1---------3--O--3-----|
g--2--2--2---------------------|
d--3--3--3---------------------|
a--X--X--X---------------------|
E--X--X--X---------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/throwing_muses/pearl_tab_ver_2.html ]
So the verse would be like: (forgive me for I'm doing this from memory
and I'll definitly get the lyrics wrong)
Fmaj7 C
Hot hands
Dmin
Fmaj7 C
Move me
Dmin
Fmaj7 C D
I write on these walls
Fmaj7 C D
I have no heart at all F7: F7 ?
Fmaj7 (vamp to fill)
You get the picture.
As for the bridge, it's a pretty simple ascending line, but fuck me if I
can figure out the bleeding key, though I think it's from A so:
A - B - C - D
All majors, and each last for a full measure before changing. If you have
any better ideas, please tell me. I haven't figured out the solos, I
tend just to go a touch off my head and improvise, but I'll work on it and
get you that in the future.
Another hint, I know Kristen plays it like I wrote it above, but when I
first started work on it I played a slightly (only very) different way,
that was easier and sounded smashing:
Simply substitute these chords for the original ones (same root):
F6 C9 D9
e--O e--O e----|O
b--3 b--3 b--3-|
g--2 g--O g--2-|
d--3 d--2 d--0-|
a--X a--3 a--X-|
E--X E--X E--X-|
