Little Trouble Girl

Sonic Youth

Tom: D

T's tuning: EGDGED
Lee's tuning: DGDEGG (i'm not sure if this is right, but it sounds good...)

T's part:
T stays out during the intro (lee's weird chords, which i'll get to later), but plays this 
little melody line for the chorus....


D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----12--14--9--7--7------12--14--9--12--12-----12--14--9--7--7------9--7--5--7--9--12--12---
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


chorus (cont.)

D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----12--14--9--7--7-----12--14--9--12--12-----12--14--9--7--7------9--7--5--7---------------
G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0-------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


for the verse, T plays this little harmonic figure...


D---------------7---------------X---X
E-------------------------------X---X all X's are picked behind the bridge   
G----7------7-------7------X----X---X
D-------7------------------X---------
G--------------------------X---------
E------------------------------------


T's solo:


D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G---14--12--12---14--16--12--12---------------------14--12--12---14--16--19--16--------------
D-----------------------------------14--12--12-----------------------------------14--16--12--
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


right after the solo, the song goes into the bridge, where T just plays a C chord
after the bridge, the chorus is repeated
after the second chorus, T plays a figure like this:


D------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------
G-----4/7\4--------------------------------
D-----0-0-0--------------------------------
G------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------


Lee's part:

for the intro, Lee does this:


G-------------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------9-------------------------------9----------9----
E---------------10----10------------------------10------10-----10---
D------------8------------8-----------------8------------------8----
G----0-----------------------------0---------------------------0----
D-------0------------------------------0----------------------------

play this twice. the song then goes into the first chorus, where lee plays something like
this....


G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G------------------11-----------------------------11-----------------------------12----------12---
E---------10-----------10------10-----------10--------10------10-----------10-------10----10------
D-----10------10-----------10------------10----10---------10------------10----10-------10---------
G--0----------------------------------0------------------------------0----------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


those are the basic chords for the chorus, but don't be scared to mess around with them some
(it sounds good to throw in that 12th fret E from time to time)....

at the start of the verse (lee comes in around 1:07) plays this little thing:

G------------------------------0-----0----
G----------------------7-------7-----7----
E---5--6---------5--------5----6-----5----
D-------------7-----7----------7-----7----
G----------0-------------------0-----0----
D-----------------------------------------



then settles into these two chords for the majority of the verse (starting around 1:27)
G------0-----------------0---------------
G------7-----------------7--------------- 
E------5-----------------6---------------
D------7-----------------7---------------
G------0-----------------0---------------
D----------------------------------------


at 2:28 he plays this little figure:
G-------
G---10--
E-------
D---10--
G---0---
D-------

he then returns to original verse chords at 2:32

for the bridge (T moves up to C), lee plays this chord...

G--------
G--------
E---10---
D---0----
G---0----
D--------

until the chorus returns (of course, you repeat chorus figure)..

when the outro comes (about 3:37), lee plays this part:


G----------------------------------------------
G--------------7--6--5--------------7---------- play this a few times
E---5--6--7--------------7--6------------------ 
D----------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------


at 4:16, he plays this a few times until song ends


G----------------
G----------------
E---5--6--7------
D----------------
G----------------
D----------------

and that's it...peace, larsen...
