Violent+Femmes - Agamemnon

Date: Sun, 7 Jan 1996 17:32:34 -0500 From: Bryson Meunier Subject: TAB:"Agamemnon" by violent femmes I transcribed this song for two guitars. It doesn't really make sense since the femmes only have one guitarist but on the cd it distinctly sounds like two guitars. The femmes played this song when I saw them live in Columbus, Ohio during the New Times tour so I should know how many guitars they used but I wasn't really paying attention to the guitar arrangements as much I was jumping up and down. Anyway, this is what I have for "Agamemnon," whether it's correct or not. E-mail me with corrections,additions, questions or comments at meunier.1@osu.edu "Agamemnon"(Gordon Gano/Walter Mehring) Performed by the Violent Femmes on "New Times"(1994) Lyrics by Walter Mehring from "Einfach Klassisch," as translated into English by Henry Marx Transcribed by Bryson Meunier intro/verse(guitar1(clean electric))- E------------------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------------------------| G------------------------------------------------------| D---------4----4h7brp4---------------4--4h7br4---------| A------------------------7---4------------------7---4--| E-----2--------------------------2---------------------| ||(guitar 2(clean electric))- || E------------------------------5---------------------5-| B------------------------------5---------------------5-| G------------------------------5---------------------5-| D------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------| guitar 1- E------------------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------------------------| G------------------------------------------------------| D----4--4h7brp4------------4--4h7brp4------------------| A----------------7--4------------------7--4------------| E-2---------------------2--------------------2---------| || guitar 2- || E---------------------5--------------5-5-5-5-5---------| B---------------------5--------------5-5-5-5-5---------| G---------------------5--------------5-5-5-5-5---------| D------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------| The telephone, the ...
