 Stowaway

(With the sound of waves hitting the beach)


Tab Key


	/ - slide up
       () - incidental note
	X - mute
     rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
	    (but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)


Tuning Notes


The guitars are kept in standard tuning, but tuned a whole tone down
to 'D' instead of the normal 'E' reference. The tuning was derived
from the record, by listening for open strings.

If you don't want to play along to the record then 'standard' (in E)
is Ok, but the tone of the song will suffer, due to the higher string
tension.

Playing Notes


Let all notes ring. The song meter is 4/4 time.

The verses use Guitar1 alone. The intro, choruses and interlude use
Guitar1 and Guitar2. The parts played by Guitar1 vary in note choice
and timing - in response to Julianne Regans voice.

There's no way to learn this verbatim. The 'trick' is to master the
basic shapes and play each with minor variations which fit with the
lyrics. We wrote it all down as there are some interesting variants
that give the song more dynamics and are worth stealing for your own
renditions. ASCII tab can't do the phrasing justice, so consult the
record whilst learning it.

The song works well as a solo piece, as you don't need 2 guitars to
play it - just selectively ignore the part played by Guitar2.
