This is a pretty standard Smiths song. Of course Marr improvises
a lot by
playing the E chord on the fourth fret while he has another guitar
playing an open E chord. A note: When playing the E chord during
the verses, to get that one note drone, make sure you play the note G on
the lower E string and bend it (with your pinky) to give it that bluesy
flavour.

Note: I'm tabbing this as if it were written in the key of D, but
if you want to sound like the "Louder than Bombs" version, capo at the
4th fret. Also, if you want to hear a very different version of this
song, check out Kirsty MacColl's album 'Kite.' Marr does a reworking
of his own song!

note:the intro on Rank is G , C C, G, much simpler than this intro
A new corrected version with the bass thrown in for fun.
some notes before you go on:
This tab is a two guitar song tab'd out for one guitar. It's also
tabbed out in mind that not everyone (myself included) and lay just like
Mr. Marr.) For example, I _do_ know that there are three more strings
on the guitar :), but I can play through this version and it sounds good.
If you can crank through it, it wont be too hard for you to round out the
chords a little. Corrections, comments etc etc to shruew@cyclone.xnet.com

Back to the Old House
Yuichi Tamano (cs75sdo@sdcc13.
This is a transcript I made of "Back to the Old House" by the Smiths.
It's from the acoustic version from "Hatfull of Hollow". The notes on the
high e string are heavily emphasized and ring loudly. This should be pretty
close to the recording, though there are a few notes different here and
there.

Notes:
This is the way Johnny would play it in concert. If anybody has the "There is a Light..." cd single or a copy of the Oxford '85 concert, this should be familiar. It's a simplified version of the studio versions.
Once again, tune up all strings two semitones or capo up two frets
to F#
tuning.

Stretch Out And Wait
From: kjohn@quads.uchicago.edu (SINE QUA NON)
tab'ed by stephen cheng (cheng@utdallas.edu)
this one sounds rather nice on an accoustic guitar and, as there
is no
instrument break, particularly suitable as a solo. the song is
in 6/8
time, and each dash of each bar denotes 1/4 note, except the first
and
last dash of each bar, which are used 'cos it looks nicer. the
tab more
or less indicates the chord positions, so you should strum through
the
song as you sing along. ..oh, and you don't need to capo! wow!

Unloveable
From: peterc@cats.ucsc.edu (Peter Anthony Cowan)
Don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet dollar for a dime
that
it's words by Morrissey, and Music by Johhny Marr. Have fun.
All the chords you need in this song:
D, C, G, A, F#m, Em, and Bm. I've been playing them all open,
except for
the Bm - G - A sequence, where I barre them, but you might be able
to play
the song more accurately using all barred chords. *shrug*
Don't ask me,
I jsut like to strum and sing along. =)
Intro:
D, C, G, A (twice)
I know I'm unloveable,
D C
G A D
you don't have to tell me,
C
G A
I don't have much in my life,
D
C G
but take it it's yours..
A
D C G A
* I don't have much in my life,
D
C G
but take it it's yours.
A D C G A
I know I'm unloveable,
D C
G A D
You don't have to tell me,
C G

for message received loud and clear, loud and clear,

D C G
but take it it's yours.
A D C G A
I don't have much in my life, but take it it's yours....

(repeat from *, then continue on)
I wear black on the outside, because

black is how i feel on the inside.

well that's because i am.

I know that you would like me,
F#m G

If only you would meet me.

A-A(and on and on....)
*the end*
I think I left out one or two musical interludes(maybe not),
but you'll
figure them out, they have the same progressions as the rest of
the song. If you don't know the song well, good luck getting the
words to fit over the chords right! Sorry, I tried to make it as
close as possible, but morrissey has a habit of stretching, and smashing
syllables, so one word could be 8 bars(I don't have much in my li -i -ha
-ha -ha -ife..) or even more. Good luck.
