---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CUT MY WINGS � Seasick Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Captain Sensible Email: Seasick Steve website - http://www.seasicksteve.com/ For those of you watching Jules Holland New Year�s Eve�s bash who were blown away by Steve�s performance on his 3 string guitar (his 3 Trance Wonder), here�s a simplified tab one of his keynote songs, Cut My Wings, tabbed from the Belladrum Festival (see 'You Tube' to watch the vid). I�ve tried to come up with a simple way of reproducing this without ripping off 3 of your strings. Basically, downtune your 5th string and ramp up your 6th string so you have two bass G strings. It then kind of works as a hybrid open G tuning but, if you watch the video, you�ll see there�s a lot of improv around this as well. Guitar and amp should be loud with some distortion to get the authentic 'messy' effect. If anyone can improve on this, please do Tuning: Tune 6th string up 3 semitones and the 5th string down 2 semitones Here�s the main tab covering the basic guitar accompaniment e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--6---6------8--6--------------------5bp--3------------------5bp--3-------| G|--------7---------7p�0--3p�0--3b--0----------5--3p--0----------------5�3p-| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|/7---7-----/5------------------------------------------3p--0--------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|0--------5bp--3------------------5bp--3----------------------8--6---------| G|-----------------5�3p--0-----------------5�3p--0-------------------7--5---| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--3p--0-------------------3p--0-------------------3p--0--/5---------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---8--6-----------------------5bp--3------------------5bp--3--------------| G|---------7p--0�3bp�0--3bp--0----------5--3p--0----------------5�3p--0-----| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|/5-----------------------------------------------3p--0------------------3p| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------6-----6--------8--6-----------------------5bp--3--------------------| G|---------------7-----------7p--0�3bp--0�3bp--0----------5�3p--0-----------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|0--/7-----7-------/5----------------------------------------------3p--0---| Here�s the basics of the slide part, but as with anything like this, play around to make sound as you want it to e|---/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3---| B|---/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3---| G|---/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3---| D|---/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3--------/12--/3--/3---| G|0--/12--/3--/3--0--0--/12--/3--/3--0--0--/12--/3--/3--0--0--/12--/3--/3--0| G|0--/12--/3--/3--0--0--/12--/3--/3--0--0--/12--/3--/3--0--0--/12--/3--/3--0| e|----/5--5--/12--/12------/5--5--/7--\0--/3--/3--0--/12--/3--/3--0--| B|----/5--5--/12--/12------/5--5--/7--\0--/3--/3--0--/12--/3--/3--0--| G|----/5--5--/12--/12------/5--5--/7--\0--/3--/3--0--/12--/3--/3--0--| D|----/5--5--/12--/12------/5--5--/7--\0--/3--/3--0--/12--/3--/3--0--| G|-0--/5--5--/12--/12--0---/5--5--/7--\0--/3--/3--0--/12--/3--/3--0--| G|-0--/5--5--/12--/12--0---/5--5--/7--\0--/3--/3--0--/12--/3--/3--0--| e|--/12--/3--/3--0--/7--7--/10--10--/5--5--\5--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| B|--/12--/3--/3--0--/7--7--/10--10--/5--5--\5--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| G|--/12--/3--/3--0--/7--7--/10--10--/5--5--\5--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| D|--/12--/3--/3--0--/7--7--/10--10--/5--5--\5--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| G|--/12--/3--/3--0--/7--7--/10--10--/5--5--\5--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| G|--/12--/3--/3--0--/7--7--/10--10--/5--5--\5--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| e|--/12--\12-----/3-----/3--/3---| B|--/12--\12-----/3-----/3--/3---| G|--/12--\12-----/3-----/3--/3---| D|--/12--\12-----/3-----/3--/3---| G|--/12--\12--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| G|--/12--\12--0--/3--0--/3--/3--0| Repeat main tab for remainder of song Lyrics Cut my wings Shot me down I cannot fly Cut my wings Shot me down I cannot fly When I lay my head down On my bed (?)
