Subject: TAB: Marquee Moon by Television

As an incentive, here's the song mostly TABbed out. I still need the
lyrics.... Thanks to whomever first sent me the TAB, since that's where
I learned much of the parts (also from my guitar teacher). As is usual
with TV's stuff, you gotta listen closely to catch the rhythms--they're
not at all straightforward.

Marquee Moon, from the album Marquee Moon
Written by Tom Verlaine
Recorded by Television
TAbbed by Jay Verkuilen (who got it from some other people--if I knew who you
were, I wouldn't have to post this again :)

Key: D mixolydian (D E F# G A B C).

Riff:
[Bm]

I don't think I've got the timing right above, so you'll have to listen
real closely. Richard's part goes for a beat or a part of a beat before
Tom's. Most of the song is this riff. The second solo (jam) is over
that.


Little scale part:

Play 3x last time


Tom: --------------10-8-7------ -----10-8-7-------------
------7-8-10-7------10-8-7 -7-8--------10-8-7------
--sl/9-------------------- --------------------9-7-
-------------------------- ------------------------
-------------------------- ------------------------
-------------------------- ------------------------

Richard: Em C Am Am

I misremember the chords under this scale, so check them.

Then the Life in the hive... part (listen to vocal):

D C , with someone playing notes from the D mixolydian scale (Tom?),

ended with Gmaj7 chord and the following riff (Tom?):



Tom: ------------8-p-7--------------------------
------------------7------------------------
--------------------7----------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------


The first solo (Tom) is a set of three scales with pauses in between, played
with alone, each in D mixolydian. The first starts on 15th fret D on the
B string and ends on 9th fret F# on the A string. It covers all notes in
between. The second starts on 10th fret A on the B string and goes to
5th fret D on the A string (then slides to 9th fret F#). Listen closely to
the song to catch the repeats. I don't have a guitar here, so I can't
check it to be sure and can't exactly remember what to do here. :(

The third part is:

v


Tom: -----19-19-19-19-17-15-17-19-17-15-17-19-17-15-17---22----
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------


("v" indicates staccato with pause)



Tom: ------------8-p-7--------------------------
------------------7------------------------
--------------------7----------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------


Second verse..., same as the first.

Second solo is over the main riff and is in D mixolydian. It starts slowly
and builds to a massive climax. The solo is one massive improv--Tom goes
pretty crazy through this part. Afterwards there are some chords, but I
can't remember what they are--nothing complicated, however.
