"Spaceman", Belly
Written by Belly
from their "Super-connected" import single

Standard Tuning
Key of A major

The Twiddle:
   A
e--0--0-----------------------|
B--2--2----2------------------|
G--2--2----2-2----------------|
D--2--0h2--2-2-----x-x--------|
A--0--0----0-0-----x-x-x------|
E---------------2--x-x-x------|

*** No tab in the world will tell you much about how to play this twiddle.
    I got the mechanics down...now you have to get the dynamics down.  Finger
    the A chord like this :
                          --|---------|
                          --|--r------|  ring finger
                          --|--i------|  index finger
                          --|--m------|  middle finger
                          --|---------|
                          --|---------|
                            2

    and use your thumb to play the F# on the low E string .
    otherwise the rest of the rhythm is simple.  The twiddle is played only
    some of the time...it'll be obvious when.
*** I think the electric part is the same chords only played with a chorus
    effect...I donno...I'm not an electric person.

(Acoustic Guitar -- clean)
