One of the best Smiths songs ever. Besides "There is a light,,," and "Please 3x". Actually this is one of the first Smiths songs I learned and liked instantly. The bass and guitar compliment each other well.
Nice one mate, excellently played, wish I could play like that. I love this song but can't find the original on youtube. Also, apart from being on Meat Is Murder is not on any Smiths compilation which I think is strange as it's a great song.
Thanks mate.just a lot of practice and listening to the records i guess. a lot of patience too .drives me mad sometimes tho :-) it is strange its not on any comp eh .shame. its a forgotten gem ..i love that about the smiths ..once you get into them you keep discovering all these fantastic songs..b sides bbc sessions etc. pure class.
And I like the fact you didn't ruin it by singing. Like you mentioned, no one can sing like Moz. But if you change it a bit then your singing won't seem like an imitation. Try it, maybe speed it up a bit. Man, I wish I had the time to learn how to play the strings.
Cheers Elylester. Def think its capo on 2nd fret same as William etc. a lot of smiths songs are tuned/capo'd up to F# to suit moz's voice I read that somewhere in a johnny marr interview.If u need the chords etc let me know I can post up.
Why our being fed this shit!

Fantastic job. Your guitar sounds great. From the pickguard I'm assuming it's an old Yamaha ? If so which model ? Thanks

Yep, I always wondered why it has not been released on a compilation so far.
One of my favourite songs ever.
But now it's on the "Singles Box" which came out a few days ago...

I think you got it spot on - Yes I read that some where too
( a lot of smiths songs tuned/capo'd up to F# ) but in this song particular was also done on a 12 string i read.
Thanks man, one of my favorite songs of all times- I could not figure out what he was doing on that - Cadd9add11
(x32031)-.Was that the hardest one ?
Good hear bro
I would love to hear you do it on a 12 string.

sorry for the delay folks, I had to find a chord dictionary online to get the names of some of the chords as they are fairly unusual .
Here goes ,numbers in brackets represent chord notes fret position(top to bottom EADGBE)
Capo on 2nd fret
Intro:
Emadd11/A(x02000),Cmaj7/11/13/F(133200),Am7, Fadd9 (1x3213), Am to Asus2, Fadd9
Verse: Cadd9add11 (x32031) to C, Em,Am,G
Chorus: Dm to Dmsus?(xx0210), Fmaj7, G,
And I worked it all out by ear too btw :O)
ResidentSmith78 4 years ago

shame you couldn't play it over the top of the song so we could hear Morrissey's vocals. still aces though
