‘Soon’ by My Bloody Valentine (K.Shields)
TAB by Jon Eyre, [email protected]
DISCLAIMER: This is by no means perfect…
To achieve a sound similar to that on ‘Loveless’, take the following
tab, add an Akai S9000 sampler, a load of compression, reverb and sundry
other effects, drums, bass, vocals, mix it in a pot, garnish lightly
with overdubs and and cook for 40 minutes at gas mark 6…
SOON

VERSE
The basic riff, which appears in the intro, and I suppose ought to be
called the verse:
D-4—4—4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-
A-4—4—4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- Repeat for a bit
E-2—2—2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
CHORUS
By process of elimination, this bit must be the chorus. It’s the bit
with vocals over the top of chord changes:
F#sus2 Esus2 F# Asus2 Bsus2 E F# Esus2 F#sus2 Esus2 F#
e—————-2—-0——2—-0—2———————2—
B——9——7—-2—-0——2—-0—2—7——9——7—-2— Back
G——11—-9—-3—-2——4—-1—3—9——11—-9—-3— Into
D——11—-9—-4—-2——4—-2—4—9——11—-9—-4— The
A——9——7—-4—-0——2—-2—4—7——9——7—-4— Basic
E——9——7—-2—————0—2—7——9——7—-2— Riff
THE NOODLY FLUTE LINE BIT
Which isn’t actually a flute, but either a sampled guitar or voice…
e——9—-11——-9—11-11-
B—11—11—-11-11—11——
WORDS
You’re on yer own, I’m afraid…Just murmuring something which sounds
vaguely okay should do.
