Banda estadounidense creada por el cantante y guitarrista Bob Mould después de la separación de su anterior banda Hüsker Dü, y concebida con un sonido similar, aunque con Mould como único líder. La banda estaba formada por Mould como guitarra y cantante, David Barbe (anteriormente en Mercyland) al bajo, y Malcolm Travis (anteriormente en Zulus y Human Sexual Response) a la batería. La banda editó tres álbumes de estudio, "Copper Blue" (1992)

I haven't included any of the leads because I don't know them.
INTRO: A--2h3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3| E--0h1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1| Play 8 times.
Verse riff: F5E5AmB e------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7| B------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7| G------------------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8| D-3-----------2----------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9| A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9| E-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7| Palm mute heavily For F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.
F5E5AmB I'm watching you walk as you walk that distant way
F5E5AmB Take that thing away from me take away most everything
F5E5AmB I couldn't say I'd blame you or you should never look in back
F5E5AmB You wouldn't be to blame if you couldn't take it back
CHORUS: GAmBC Hours slipping by as you watch the worlds collide
GAmBC Now you're nothing more than another passerby
GAmBC The dark it turns to light in a distant flash of night
GAmBC Rolling with the tide I confide the act we wear it thin again
I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords (similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open position chords to go easy on my left hand.
INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES
The other verses and choruses are played with the same riffs:
If affection holds you back then what is left to hold If I could find the answer to that question then I'd know The thoughts that clutter up your mind and leave me feeling drained And walking pacing up the walls across the floor again
CHORUS: All the things I haven't seen once the final curtain has been raised The act we act is wering thin the act we act we under my skin The words the words we said goodbye the words left choking in my mind The act we act is wering thin I think we wear it out again
SOLO: Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :)
OUTRO CHORUSES: Another big explosion leaving you hoping That something that once held you down could leave you feeling on the ground The confusion that persists decisions that you guessed The one to stay and watch this the one you might have missed
REPEAT 2ND CHORUS
CONTINUE PLAYING CHORUS FIGURE: Forming a conclusion And you're left standing
PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES End on E5 chord.
Well, this is how I play it..enjoy!
