Because the song is a total mess of short bits repeated many times in
different orders, I tried to tab the short bits. Just listen to the
record and try to figure out the whole song , if you have patience. I
didn’t. I numbered the parts from (1) to (6).
(1) (2)
———————————— same ————-
———————————— as ————-
13—13——11-11—10—10—-8-8— (1), 10-11-10-8—
13—13——11-11—11—11—-9-9— but 11-11-11-9—
11—11——9—9—-11—11—-9-9— ends 11-11-11-9—
———————9—9——7-7— with 9—9—9—7—
(3) (4)
————————————- same —-
————————————- as 7-9-
—————11-11—————— (3), 9-11
11—9—11—9—11-11-11—9—11(xx-xx-x-) but 9-11
11—9—11—9—9—9—11—9—11(xx-xx-x-) ends 7-9-
9—7—9—7———9—7—9-(xx-xx-x-) with —-
play (3) 2 times, those x’s are used
for the first time. It means: mute the strings.
(5) (6)
—9—4—-6—- —8——6———-
—————- —9——7——6—-
-8-8-6-6——5— -10-10-10-10—7—7—
6—4——6—-6 -10-10-10-10-8—-8-
———6—— 8——6——8——8
———4——- ————6——-
After the first three minutes there’s a part like this, mostly just guitar:
(1) (1) (1)
—————- —————- —————- —————-
4————— 4—6—4——- 4————— 4——-6—9—
6————— 6—8—6——- 6————— 6——-8—11—
6————— 6—8—6——- 6————— 6——-8—11—
4————— 4—6—4——- 4————— 4——-6—9—
An then, another three minutes of these short parts combined in strange
ways, with little guitar solo bits. I hope if this was of ANY assistance.

Tab(correct version): «Feeling Better» by Sugar
Written by Bob Mould, (c)1993 Granary Music
Transcribed by [email protected]
Note: This song is played with a capo on the 1st fret.
The tab is transposed to reflect that.
(i.e. a 1 on the B string will be C#, not C. Get it?)
Just follow along with the song, putting the bits and pieces together,
and you should figger it out.
Geez, Bob Mould can write some complex shit!
