Subject: TAB(sort of): Feeling Better by Sugar

Because the song is a total mess of short bits repeated many times in
different orders, I tried to tab the short bits. Just listen to the
record and try to figure out the whole song , if you have patience. I
didn't. I numbered the parts from (1) to (6).

(1)				     (2)
------------------------------------ same  -------------|
------------------------------------ as    -------------|
13---13-----11-11---10--10----8-8--- (1),  10-11-10-8---|
13---13-----11-11---11--11----9-9--- but   11-11-11-9---|
11---11-----9--9----11--11----9-9--- ends  11-11-11-9---|
--------------------9---9-----7-7--- with  9--9--9--7---|

(3)						(4)
-------------------------------------       same  --------|
-------------------------------------       as    7-9-----|
--------------11-11------------------        (3),  9-11---|
11--9--11--9--11-11-11--9--11(xx-xx-x-)        but   9-11-|
11--9--11--9--9--9--11--9--11(xx-xx-x-)        ends  7-9--|
9---7--9---7--------9---7--9-(xx-xx-x-)        with  -----|
play (3) 2 times, those x's are used
for the first time. It means: mute the strings.

(5)               (6)
--9---4----6----  ---8-----6-----------|
----------------  ---9-----7-----6-----|
-8-8-6-6-----5--  -10-10-10-10--7--7---|
6---4-----6----6  -10-10-10-10-8----8--|
---------6------  8-----6------8-----8-|
--------4-------  ------------6--------|

After the first three minutes there's a part like this, mostly just guitar:
     		(1) 		    (1) 		(1)
----------------    ----------------    ----------------    ----------------|
4---------------    4---6---4-------    4---------------    4-------6---9---|
6---------------    6---8---6-------    6---------------    6-------8---11--|
6---------------    6---8---6-------    6---------------    6-------8---11--|
4---------------    4---6---4-------    4---------------    4-------6---9---|
An then, another three minutes of these short parts combined in strange
ways, with little guitar solo bits. I hope if this was of ANY assistance.

Tab(correct version): "Feeling Better" by Sugar
Written by Bob Mould, (c)1993 Granary Music
Transcribed by chubscout@aol.com


Note:  This song is played with a capo on the 1st fret.
  The tab is transposed to reflect that.
(i.e. a 1 on the B string will be C#, not C.  Get it?)

Just follow along with the song, putting the bits and pieces together,
and you should figger it out.
Geez, Bob Mould can write some complex shit!
