From: scuw5@central.susx.ac.uk (Jonathan Eyre)
'Soon' by My Bloody Valentine (K.Shields)
TAB by Jon Eyre, scuw5@central.sussex.ac.uk
DISCLAIMER: This is by no means perfect...
To achieve a sound similar to that on 'Loveless', take the following
tab, add an Akai S9000 sampler, a load of compression, reverb and sundry
other effects, drums, bass, vocals, mix it in a pot, garnish lightly
with overdubs and and cook for 40 minutes at gas mark 6...
SOON

VERSE
The basic riff, which appears in the intro, and I suppose ought to be
called the verse:
D-4--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-
A-4--4--4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- Repeat for a bit
E-2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
CHORUS
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/my_bloody_valentine/soon_tab.html ]
By process of elimination, this bit must be the chorus. It's the bit
with vocals over the top of chord changes:
F#sus2 Esus2 F# Asus2 Bsus2 E F# Esus2 F#sus2 Esus2 F#
e----------------2----0-----2----0---2--------------------2--
B-----9-----7----2----0-----2----0---2---7-----9-----7----2-- Back
G-----11----9----3----2-----4----1---3---9-----11----9----3-- Into
D-----11----9----4----2-----4----2---4---9-----11----9----4-- The
A-----9-----7----4----0-----2----2---4---7-----9-----7----4-- Basic
E-----9-----7----2---------------0---2---7-----9-----7----2-- Riff
THE NOODLY FLUTE LINE BIT
Which isn't actually a flute, but either a sampled guitar or voice...
e-----9----11-------9---11-11-
B--11---11----11-11---11------
WORDS
You're on yer own, I'm afraid...Just murmuring something which sounds
vaguely okay should do.
