From: phys174@csc.canterbury.ac.nz

Organization: University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand

Firstly: Dragon is a New Zealand band - though I see that's already
                                        been pointed out.

April Sun  - this is off the top of my head.....
---------

over intro and verses:
strum Asus4 and A for a bar each ie ||: Asus4 | A :||

then after the bit "snakes eyes...." the chords are
D, C#m, Bm,  then one guitar plays A, GMaj7 while another plays an A, sliding
up to an F# on the high E string

over the chorus strum ||:D | GMaj7 :||
ie GMaj7           D            GMaj7    D         .....
  " Take me to the April sun in Cuba.    Whoooooaaaa.....
-with the A->F# slide over the GMaj7 at the appropriate time.
the chorus ends with a 'powerful' D strummed twice

then verse and chorus again

over the quiet bit strum  ||: Bm | A :|| - in fact there isn't actually
a guitar doing this on the song, but a Bm and A seem to be implied by
the bass, and vocals.
then it's back to D, C#m, B and chorus etc

then final verse

chords:
Asus4 0   A 0   D  2 or 5  C#m 4  Bm  2  GMaj7 2
      3     2      3    7      5      3        0
      2     2      2    7      6      4        0
      2     2      0    7      6      4        0
      x     x      x    x      x      x        x
      x     x      x    x      x      x        x
                   ------
                      |- (depending on whether it's C#m or GMaj7 to follw)


I can't help with Are You Old Enough (yet... ), but
if any body is interested in Rain (also by Dragon) mail me...

Here the lyrics should be:
   
   And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
   Tell them a hookah-smoking caterpiller has given you the call

The song has many references to _Alice In Wonderland_ and this refers to a 
caterpiller Alice encounters, who is usually shown smoking a hookah.  I can't
remember whether this is also mentioned in the text.  The caterpiller is
seated on a mushroom, and offers some of the mushroom to Alice.  Alice eats
a small bit of it and begins to shrink.

>Remember what the Doormouse said - Keep your head, Keep your head

the Red Queen's 'off with her head'
Remember what the Dormouse said - "Feed your head, feed your head"

This set of lyrics comes from _Alice Through the Looking-Glass_.  The 
Red Queen was always ordering for someone to have their head cut off
(although I don't think the order is ever carried out).  Now that I think
about it, it is a clever drug pun as well, 'The Red Queen is off with her
head', i.e. she is off pursuing her habit.  And I suppose you could read 
it as 'the Red Queen is off her head', i.e. insane.  

The last line is 'feed your head', probably another drug reference.  A few
years ago, someone asked Grace Slick what 'feed your head' meant, and she
replied "read books".  Good advice.

Anyway, hope this helps.  Thanks to Mike for posting the tab.

Subject: REQ: Byrne/Talking Heads
Date: 28 Aug 92 18:56:51 GMT
Organization: Graduate School of Industrial Administr., Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA


I just saw David Byrne in concert and I'm wondering if anyone has put
any of his songs (or Talking Heads') into tablature. Byrne was the only
guitarist in a 10-piece band, but he got a huge guitar sound out of an
acoustic (a very large red number -- not sure of the make, but it seemed
to be particularly thick), a Gibson hollow body and a Strat.

No one will accuse of Byrne of being a virtuoso, but he does have an
unusual sound. He primarily stays low on the neck and plays very full
chords -- no fewer than four strings is my guess. He usually strums, but
he also has an effortless, and unusual, picking style, and an uncanny
sense of rhythm. His back-up group was an extremely tight Latin band --
probably all session musicians -- but Byrne seemed right at home, as he
has before with big groups, like during the Remain In Light funk days.

it's just A7 - D7 and an E7 at the end...  goes to the D7
when he says "look out kid" then the E7 like when he gets to
the end of the verse... (this is really hard to try to
remember while i'm listening to Juliana Hatfield :)

maybe if you listen to it and figure it out you can post it
for posterity :)  i play the A7 like:

---2----2---

lemme see if i can remember "just like heavan"

the chords follow the bass going:  A - E - Bmin - E

the "chorus" part  ("you soft and lonely you, etc")
goes F#min - G - F#min - G - F#min - G - D - D

the beginning riff is like:

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
--18-18-18-16-16-14-----------------------------------------
----------------------18-18-18-16-16-14---12-12-11-12-11----
--------------------------------------------------------14--
------------------------------------------------------------
X2
(then one bar of this, which i invented to sorta sound like
what he does :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------14-16----
-----------11-12-14-----------11-12-14---------11-12-14-16----------
--14-14-14-----------14-14-14----------14-14-14---------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
and do the first riff again.

if someone has the words, they could incorporate this post with them,
and archive the whole thing.

The differences between the two versions of the song listed are due to
performance.  Warren Zevon (author of the song) performs it the first
way, Linda Ronstadt performs it the second.

I Shall Be Released
By Bob Dylan

A                            Bm
They say everything can be replaced

C#m        Bm              A     E7
 Yet every distance is not near

A                  Bm
So I remember every face

C#m          Bm          A       E7
 Of every man who put me here.

A                   Bm
I see my light come shining

C#m          Bm         A
 From the west unto the east.

A
 Any day now,

Bm
 Any day now,

C#m Bm       A
 I shall be released

They say every man needs protection.
They every man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection,
Somewhere so high above the wall.
I see my light come shining,
From the west unto the east.
Any day now,
Any day now,
I shall be released.

Well onder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
A man who swears he not to blame.
All day long I hear him cry shouting loud,
Calling out that he's been framed.
I see my light come shining,
From the west unto the east.
Any day now,
Any day now,
I shall be released.


Be seeing you,
Kelwyn.

He said that's alright babe,
I love you too.
But we were Tangled Up In Blue.
       - Bob Dylan

You can get really good bodies finished or unfinished from
ESP which is on 48th street in New York. I think you can order
direct from them but you may have to go through an ESP Dealer.
I bought a strat body with standard trem routing in candy apple red.
It looks excellent and sounds great !!! The quality is real good
I think I paid 200 or 250 for it. It is also important that you
get the right wood for the sound you want (they can help you with
this).

good luck

I've been fooling around with slide guitar lately and have noticed that alot
of tab for slide uses an open tuning (ex. open E).  I was wondering if there
are any slide players out there who use the conventional tuning and if they
have gotten used to it.  I don't want to be in the middle of a gig and have to
retune the guitar just for one or two songs that I play on slide.  People like
Duane Allman probably just had another guitar that was already tuned to an open
E so he could switch with no problem.

Thanks for replies or comments,
Bill B.
