HUNDRED MILE HIGH CITY
======================
Here`s my attempt at Ocean Colour Scene`s HUNDRED MILE HIGH CITY from
the album MARCHIN` ALRADY. You`ll find that most of it is right but some of the guitar
parts are a little off but they do sound right.
CHORDS USED:
============
E (022400)
D (x57775)
A (577655)
C (x35553)
G (355433)
Intro:
======
|----------------| You`ll know what I mean. I can tab
|----------------| this part out. It`s all those E`s.
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|--0--0--0--0-etc|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------0--|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--0-0-0--12x12--0-0-0--3x3---0-0-0--5x5--0-0-0--6h7-----|
This is the main intro riff and the main riff what is used in the verses.
It is play twice on it`s own then this is played over the top of it:
|--20--20--20--| Then this is played over and over.
|--------------| Until the intro ends....
|--------------|
|--------------|
|--------------|
|--------------|
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|------------------------14s-7----|
|------------------------14s-7----|
|--0-0-0--12x12--0-0-0---12s-5----|
Verse 1: (I think the intro riff is played)
========
E D A E
So I said I`m on a roll so I need a car
D A E
And I know that I`m getting alive
D A E
And I say I`ve got faith and a season
D A
And I say it`s where I`m going to
Chorus: (Mute the strings between each chord)
=======
C G D A
I get a need and I want to please it
C G D A
I gott a face and I`m wanting to feel it
C G D A
|-------------------------------| This is played over
|-1-------0------3-------2------| last two lines in
|---0-------0------2-------2----| the chorus
|-----2-------2------0-------2--|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
C G D A
The more I feel is the more that I need it
C G E
The more I need is the less I believe it
Musical Interlude:
==================
Intro riff twice then:
|--10b--r------------10------------------|
|---------8--10x-10b----r10--8h10--8-----|
|-------------------------------------9~-|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|-------------------| This last part isn`t right but
|-------------------| the rest of it is... more or less
|--7h9p7--7~--------|
|-------------9-----|
|---------------7x--|
|-------------------|
Verse 2: (Listen to strumming pattern)
========
Well I want a good love by my side
Keep on getting out of love and my pride
And I know I keep hurting my love yeah
But I know it aint killing
Chorus:
=======
Musical Interlude 2:
====================
|-----------------------------------| There`s a whistel
|-----------------------------------| played here. Scared
|-----------------------------------| the crap out of me at
|-----------------------------------| the OCS gig in Febuary!!!
|-----------------------------------|
|--0x-0x-0x-0x-0x-0x-0x-0x----------|
Whistel
|---------------| Play this 8 times. It is played
|---------------| quite quicklly so be carefull...
|---------------|
|---------------|
|--10h12-12-12--|
|---------------|
|-----------------------------| This part is played
|--8h10--10-10-8--------------| twice. The next bit is
|----------------9-8-7---7--5-| quite hard. It`s easier
|----------------------7------| to do on a gibson Les Paul
|-----------------------------| rather than on a Fender Strat...
|-----------------------------|
A ~ ~ ~ ~
|--------------------------| The chord A is played
|--------------------------| once and it is not strummed!
|--------------------------|
|--7p5p0-7p5p0-7p5p0-7p5p0-|
|--------------------------|

Intro Riff:
===========
Guitar Solo:
============
|--12---12----17-15----------------------------|
|--15br-15br---------12-------------15---------|
|------------------------14-12--14b-----r--s12-|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--12h14-12----------------------|
|-----------14-------------------|
|--------------12-14-12----------|
|------------------------14--12--|
Verse 3: (As verse 1)
========
Chorus:
=======
Coda:
=====
|--------------------------------------| Play twice
|--------------------------------------|
|--5-5-X-X-----------7-7-X-X-----------|
|--5-5-X-X--5-5-X-X--7-7-X-X--7-7-X-X--|
|--3-3-X-X--5-5-X-X--5-5-X-X--7-7-X-X--|
|-----------3-3-X-X-----------5-5-X-X--|
Then play the second part of the chorus lead twice.
(Y`know - the over dubbed part)
C G D A
|-----------------------5--| This is played about 4
|-----------------------5--| times I think...
|------5-----------7----6--|
|----5-------5-------7--7--|
|--3-------5----5-------7--|
|--------3--------------5--|
|----------------------------------| I`m sure they`ve
|----------------------------------| got this bit from
|------5--------------3------------| SONG OF A BAKER
|----5--------5-----3--------3---2-| by the Small Faces
|--3--------5-----1--------3-----2-|
|---------3--------------1-------0-|
D5 D5 E5
|---------------------------------------| Yet again...
|---------------------------------------| play twice
|---------------------------------------|
|--12----13----14-----------------------| Bass guitar
|--12----13----14-----------10x12-10----| doesn`t play
|--10----11----12-----10-12----------12-| riff 2nd time
(Some sort of effect... maybe flange or wah wah pedal)
|--12-s-0--|
|--12-s-0--| Play that a few times then the guitar
|--13-s-1--| part above etc, etc....
|--14-s-2--|
|--14-s-2--|
|--12-s-0--|
Then the song ends with loads of noise and stuff but I can`t
be arsed to write that out.
