Junkhouse - Pearly White guitar tab

Song: Pearly White

Group: Junkhouse

CD: Fuzz

Lyrics: Junkhouse

Music: Junkhouse

Label: Columbia

Year: 1997

----------------------------------

Tabbed and Submitted by Tie Kaye

Before anyone points out that there are bits missing, let me say this up front:

*** THIS IS DONE FOR A SINGLE ACOUSTIC GUITAR WITH NO FX ON IT ***

And as far as that goes, it sounds pretty complete to me. I welcome any comments, corrections,

suggestions and mean put downs.

I tried to give you some idea of the rhythm, but tabbing rhythm isn't that easy. As a result,

listening to this one while playing is almost essential.

----------------------------------

b - bend

r - release bend

/ - slide

~ - vibrato

(b) - Optional bend that's not in the song but I like it, so I noted where I use it.

It's a quick bend and release from G to A

Tuning: Standard

Riff 1

e-|-----|---------------------| This is the same for the verse, but the bends

B-|-----|---------------------| are eliminated once the vocals start up. I like

G-|-----|---------------------| to keep it in there to get a more "cryptic" sound.

The Song Itself

----------------------------------

Intro (Riff 1 twice; only play the pick-up the first time through)

Riff 1 x 2

Does anybody know

What is good for me?

Welcome to my life

Hangin' like a wreath

Riff 2

I'm on a road and electric slide

Riff 1 x 2

Hoo, I do karate

I sleep on nails

I'm a guru zombie

Drop it in my pail

Riff 3 x 2

I'm takin' off my shirt

I'm runnin' through the flames

Greasin' back my hair

Callin' out your name

Chorus Riff 1

And when the dogs drag my bones into the light

I'll be clean, I will shine pearly white

Pearly white

Riff 1 x 2

No bulldozer

Can dig me here

I'm livin' underground

Without a fear

Riff 3 x 2

My chest is funky fever

I'm spittin' every dime

I'm a flamin' groovy

Just another crime

Chorus Riff 2

And when the dogs drag my bones into the light

I will hail, zombie, hail, pearly white

Bridge

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white

Solo

Tacit

Now won't you tell me, mama,

What your gonna do tonight?

She buttoned up her lip

And told me I was outta sight

Riff 3 x 2

There's no moonlight

In my backyard

And no sweet girl

With a sympathy card

Riff 2 x 2

I'm on a road and electric slide

A two-headed Siamese pride

Chorus 2

And when the dogs drag my bones into the light

When the dogs drag my bones into the light

Bridge

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white

Whoo, my soul, I'm pearly white

Whoo, my baby, I'm pearly white
