Beck - Sissyneck

Song:    Sissyneck
Artist:  Beck
Album:   Odelay
Author:  Russ Allen


brother and I have had so much fun playing and performing it, I thought 
I'd post it.
It's a fun song, not really that hard, once you get the riff automatic.  
There's one predominant riff throughout the entire song, and there are 
only three chords.  Still, it's a great song, especially if you can 
manage to sing it in harmony with someone.

==----------==
E:  022100
A7: 575685
F#7:242352
==----------==

The main riff is as follows:


E---------------------|
B---------------------|
G----1-1---------1-1--|
D----2-0---------2-0--|
A---2----0-1-2--2-----|
E--0-----------0------|

As you can see, it's not that hard.  Just finger the E chord and pick 
the specified strings, and lift your ring finger for the second little 
2-string chord.  Then, release the E chord and use your middle finger 
to play the 0-1-2 part.  That leaves your middle finger right where it 
needs to be to finger the E again, so you can do it blindfolded.  This 
little riff repeats continuously throughout the verses, the bridge, and 
the ending.

Here are the tabs for the chorus:

(F#7)  (A7)   (E)
E--5--5--2--2----0-0---------0-0--|
B--8--8--5--5----0-0---------0-0--|
G--6--6--3--3----1-1---------1-1--|
D--5--5--2--2----2-0---------2-0--|
A--7--7--4--4---2----0-1-2--2-----|
E--5--5--2--2--0-----------0------|

This repeats once more to the end of the chorus, then you go back to 
the verse riff.  Remember, don't expect to get the rhythm from the 
tabs.  Listen to the song for that.

There is a dobro(slide) guitar playing during the chorus.  It's tuned 
to an E, and they mostly just slide up and down between the A and E 
frets.  If you are so inclined to play it, just make it up as you go.  
I have a dobro, and it's really easy.

That's it for the tabs, so here's what you've all been waiting 
for...the lyrics!

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

[Go to Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
