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.

William William It was It was you life
How Soon Is Now
From: john dioso <76711.2312@CompuServe.COM>
Hey, Jennifer, I've been playing this song for a good decade now,
and I'll be damned if what I play matches Johnny Marr note for note. The
chords, ostensibly, are F#, A, and B in the verse, and C#m, E, and F# in
the chorus (the "You shut your mouth" bit).
Played straight, it sounds horrendously wrong. But with the right
rhythm, you can approach Johnny-ness.
I read in a "Guitar" magazine profile of Johnny five or six years
ago that he actually played this song with his guitar tuned to an open
E (that is, strumming all the open strings would be an E chord; so the
strings were tuned, from lowest to highest, E-B-E-G#-B-E). It's a tuning
that Bo Diddley used in many of his songs, and if you listen carefully,
you'll notice the "Bo Diddley beat" lurking behind this mope-rock anthem
(try playing the song to the rhythm of "Born to Hand Jive" from "Grease,"
and you'll get the picture. Anyway, on to the song.
chords (in standard tuning, BTW):
verse chorus
F# A B D A C#m E
E-2 - - - 5 4 0
B-2 2 4 7 5 5 0
G-3 2 4 7 6 6 1
D-4 2 4 7 7 6 2
A-4 0 2 5 7 4 2
E-2 - - - 5 - 0
The opening "riff" is just the F# chord (2nd fret position) with
loads of
reverb, another way to get that "wavy" feeling from just playing
the one chord is to position your hand to play the F# as I've shown you
above, except hammer on the first-finger barre on the 2nd fret to begin
the riff (^ = downstroke. v = upstroke):
|F# ^ v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | do this twice; the second time the lead
guitarist (on
tour, Johnny) plays:
E-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2 | (4/5\4) just before the rhythm guitarist
(on tour,
Craig Gannon) plays the next chords
B-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2 |
G-3---3-3-3-3-3-4-3 |
D-4---4-4-4-4-2-2-2 |
A-4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4 |
E-0(h)2-2-2-2-2-2-2 |
so the chord sequence for the intro and verse is:
|F#|F#|F#|A/B/|
How Soon Is Now?
F#
I am the son and the heir
A
B F#
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
A B
Of nothing in particular
D
A
You shut your mouth, how can you say
C#m E
F#
I go about things the wrong way ?
D
A
I am Human and I need to be loved
C#m E
|F#|F#|F#|A/B/|
Just like everybody else does
F#
I am the son and the heir
A
B F#
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
A B
Oh, of nothing in particular
D
A

D
A
You shut your mouth, how can you say
C#m E

|F#|F#|F#|A/B/|
Just like everybody else does
D
A
There's a club if you'd like to go
C#m E
F#
You could meet somebody who really loves you
D
So you go, and you stand on your own
A
And you leave on your own
C#m
E
And you go home, and you cry
|F#|F#|F#|A/B/|
And you want to die
D
A
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
C#m E
F#
Well, when exactly do you mean?
D
A
See I've already waited too long
C#m E
F#
And all my hope is gone
D
A
You shut your mouth, how can you say
C#m E
F#
I go about things the wrong way ?
D
A
I am Human and I need to be loved
C#m E
|F#|F#|F#|A/B/|
Just like everybody else does
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

From: aschaffe@acs.ryerson.ca (Adam Schaffer - RTAT/W94)
transcribed by Adam Schaffer
Notes:
Tune up two semitones to F# or capo on the 2nd fret. As if you didn't
figure it out, the main part is played on an 12-string acoustic. For chords
with asterisks (*) below them, the note on the low E string should be played
using your thumb.

I hope this is if help.........the chords are sound, but what I

which is why I've posted all the chord changes.(I haven't got this record
so I can't remember exactly how it goes which is my problem).

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

Girlfriend In A Coma
From: db39@oliven.bih.no (Trygve Haaland)
The chords are:
G /Gmaj7 /C /D [figure 1]
Em /Em -D /C /C-D [figure 2]
and the lyrics are:
[Repeat figure 1]
Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious
Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it's really serious
There were times when I could have murdered her,
but you know I would hate anything to happen to her
Would you please let me see her
[Repeat figure 2]
Do you really think she'll pull through?
Do you really think she'll pull through?
[Figure 1]
Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious
My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby goodbye
There were times when I could have strangled her
but you know I would hate anything to happen to her
Would you please let me see her?
[Figure 2]
Do you really think she'll pull through?
Do you really think she'll pull through?
[Figure 1]
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
I know it's serious.
I think that should be correct, but if it isn't, it's not far away.

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
From: "John S. Jacob" <jsjacob@soda.berkeley.edu>
Transcribed by John S. Jacob (jsjacob@soda.berkeley.edu)
The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..."
Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out
(strum)
the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so
uplifting?! ;-)
As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording -- it's much
easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to
put
it into one, for that matter...)
##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E).
Intro:
Am F G
Am G Am G F
C G
Take me out tonight
Am
G
where there's music and there's people
Am
G F C G
who are young and alive
Am G
Am G
Driving in your car
F
C
I never never want to go home
G
Am G Am G
because I haven't got one
F C G
anymore
Am G Am G F
C G
Take me out tonight
Am
G
because I want to see people and I
Am G
F C G
want to see lights
Am G
Am G
Driving in your car
F
C
oh please don't drop me home
G
Am G
because it's not my home, it's their
Am G
F C G
home, and I'm welcome no more
Chorus:
Em F
G C
Am
And if a double-decker bus
F
G
crashes into us
C
to die by your side
F
G
such a heavenly way to die
C
Am
And if a ten ton truck
F
G
kills the both of us
C
to die by your side
F
G
the pleasure the privilege is mine
Am G Am G F
C G
Take me out tonight
Am
G Am G F C G
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
Am
G Am
And in the darkened underpass
G
F
C G
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
Am G
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I
Am
G F C G
just couldn't ask)
Am G Am G F
C G
Take me out tonight
Am
G Am G F C G
take me anywhere, I don't care
Am G
Am G
Just driving in your car
F
C
I never never want to go home
G
Am G Am G
because I haven't got one
F
C G
I haven't got one
Chorus
Am G
Am G
There is a light and it never goes out
F
C G
There is a light and it never goes out
