‘Underwhelmed’ by Sloan
from the album Smeared
(Sorry kids; no lyrics included because I don’t remember
’em & I don’t have the album anymore).
chords (from low E to high E)
A — x02220
Asus2 — x02420
B — x24442
E — 022100
F# — 244322
The song starts with a chunky (palm-muted) F#.
The verse chord progression is F# — Asus2 — B, with
a slight variation on the F#…
—2—2—2—2—2—0—0—2—2—-
—2—2—2—2—2—2—2—4—4—-
—3—3—3—3—3—4—4—4—4—-
—4—4—4—2—4—2—2—4—4—-
—4—4—4—2—4—0—0—2—2—-
—2—2—2—2—2——————
The chorus is A — E — F#. Only variation is an A — B
progression after the ‘i just ate my young’ vocal.
There are several Chuck Berry-style blues scale slurs
in F# during some of the verses that go something like
this:
————-2-2——
—4-(5)-4—2-2——
—4-(5)-4————
———————

..and theres an octave riff at the end similar to this, if
I remember correctly:
———————————-

—11-11-11-11—14—14—16—16——
———————————-
—9—9—9—9—12—12—14—14——
