Beck - Black Lake Morning

One Foot In The Grave (1994)

There are a lot of vibratos in this song, just improvise where you think they fit best.


Plays throughout
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------| (I like to add vibrato to this bit but it's optional)
A|-5-5-5/7-7-7/9-9-9v-|
E|--------------------|

e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|-4b5--4b5--4b5--44444444vv-|
E|---------------------------|

Basically the song consists of this riff with very slight variations on certain verses.

e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|----------------------|
D|--------------12-14vv-|
A|-4-7-9-12-14----------|
E|----------------------|

Then a sort of solo will come in now and again.

e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-14-14-14-12-----12-----------12-14-12------12-------|
A|-------------16-----16-12-16------------16-----16-12-|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
                                   [quick succession]

Later on in the sing Beck goes higher with the solo thing.
(Play this after the solo in certain versus)

e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|-18vv-18vv-19vv-19vv-19vv-19vv-19vv-|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|

e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|-----------19--19--19-|
D|-19vv-19vv---19--19---|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

(Then go back to the main riff but mixing it up a bit, also throw in a few plucks of the 
A string on 2nd fret)

There you pretty much have it minus a few small variations but I'm sure you can 
improvise. Enjoy.

James.
