Song: Kotton Krown
Artist: Sonic Youth
Album: Sister (also found on Screaming fields of Sonic Love)

I found this on the (now defunct) website www.evol.org.  It was
originally tabbed by Nollie.


Intro:

I think the horn-like intro is played by Kim on bass. To me it sounds

like she plays a note and then uses the volume knob to make the note

go quiet and then loud again. I am pretty sure the last note she plays

is open D but am unsure of the first note.





Main riff:

Eb------------------------------------------------------

Eb------------------------------------------------------

D -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------

D -----9-10-12--12-12-12-10-9-10---14-14-14-------------

G ---0--------------------------------------------------

G ---0--------------------------------------------------





Bridge: (just chords, no strumming shown)

Eb--------------------------

Eb-------------------------- The fourth (last) time you play

D --5---12---10---8--------- this riff instead of playing 8

D --5---12---10---8--------- play 10 and bend it.

G --5-----------------------

G --5-----------------------





I think I may confuse you with the next part. Play riff A first, then

riff B, then riff A, then barre at the 5th fret (like at the start of

the start of the above riff) listen to CD and it should make sense.



Riff A                  Riff B

Eb--------------------|---------------------------------

Eb--------------------|---------------------------------

D --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------

D --------7--9--7--0--|----9---11--9--7-----------------

G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------

G --0--7--------------|---------------------------------





Then strum the open D strings for a while before playing:





    just chords

Eb---------------------

Eb---------------------

D ---10-----8----------

D ---10-----8----------

G ---------------------

G ---------------------





Then play the part with riff A and B before starting the main riff

again. At the end of the song the music just fades away.
