Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking an interest in my offer to tab out a few Orange Juice songs. However, I regret to say that I won't be posting any more, sorry.
You see, it takes a long time to tab a song out. Plus, since I have no way of posting a text file online, I have to copy and paste my tab onto blogger, which screws up the alignment of the tab, which then takes up more time to correct. I was still at university when I put the first tab up. Now I'm working and I'd rather spend my free time, which is now a lot less, doing other stuff.
I hope you've seen the tab for Falling and Laughing. This is actually a good place to start playing OJ songs, because lot of their other songs use similar chord shapes moved up and down the neck of the guitar (I also believe it's very accurate, maybe even 100% correct). Just like other punk songs, OJ songs are simple to play. Take Falling and Laughing, it's really just three chords: G, D, and A is thrown in at the end. That x x x 12 12 12 verse chord? that's a G with the high E added to it. Similarly, the x x x 7 7 7 and x x x 6 5 5 chords are just D and G barre chords but not playing the three lower strings.
So here are some more chords, and from here it's pretty easy to figure out the rest:
Intuition Told Me, pt. 2 - D E G (that's pretty much the whole thing)
Consolation Prize - E G A (that's also how you'd play the Ramones' I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend)(by the way, www.killermontstreet.com has an accurate tab of this song there, too, plus some great downloads, like the oringinal Just Like Gold single. I particularly recommend downloading Hot Club of Christ, a crazy medley of Christmas songs)
When playing these things, keep in mind Simon Reynold's description of OJ in his book Rip It Up and Start Again: "A scintillating shambles of Byrds and Velvets"--it's right on the money, and a great idea to keep in mind when playing the chords.
If you need help, leave a comment and I'll reply whether I can help or not. But I won't be tabbing out any more songs because it just takes so darn long. Sorry, thanks.
