------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ooh Boy – Sleepy Sun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Erik Email: erik.nmgn@gmail.com Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Superbly beautiful and warm song. Also check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UMkGRjyoSo . I tabbed the album version - only difference in the last 'ooh boy, ooh boy' which changes from E to A to E instead of staying on the E. It's a definite improvement though, so when you're playing without the CD/LP on, I'd suggest the youtube progression. GUITAR 1 (acoustic & strumming, while alternating between the E and A string till 'don't let the swell... ', where it'll take refuge in just strumming) E E The fire's out, the sun is down On the beach we were Oh, my stars, they're soaring again And you've gone on to leave your breath B A E Don't let the swell calm down B A E The water is drowning our faith B A E B A E Don't let the evil light carry our own weight B A E And carry our souls away E A E Ooh, boy, it's a long way, A (E|-3b4-0-|)E It's a long way home (play 2x) E Ooh, boy, ooh boy A E It's a long way home (play 2x) GUITAR 2 (acoustic and filling up space) Fig 1, during intro, till 'don't let the swell calm down') e|------------------------| B|------------------------| G|-----------1---------1--| D|-2-----2---2---2---2-2--| A|-4/5\4-4p2-2---4/5-4-2--| E|-0-----0-------0---0-0--| Fig 2, fill between 'carry our souls away' and the 'ooh boy'-ing. e|-------------| B|-------------| G|----------4--| D|-----2-4/6—6-| A|-2h4---------| E|-------------| GUITAR 3 (electric, heavily distorted, reverbed, tape delayed does some random stuff with these notes and a slide.
