Screaming Blue Murder by Girlschool
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCREAMING BLUE MURDER - Girlschool
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Kelly Johnson, Kim McAuliffe, Gil Weston
CD: "Screaming Blue Murder" (1982, Bronze Records) (original version)
"The Collection" (1991, Castle Comm.) (re-recorded version)
Tabbed by: Anne Drury (zerofret)
Email: [email protected]
Date: February 6, 2006
Notes:
-4/4 time - bar lines do indicate timing
-guitar solos are in E minor
-the harmonics in the verses are natural harmonics played at the 7th fret,
all other harmonics are pinch harmonics
-*see note on fretboard position at bottom of tab
All of the guitar parts for both versions of "SBM" are included here. The
main tab is of the re-recorded version (available on some compilation CDs,
such as "The Collection" - it's also the version that was on the
"Screaming Blue Murder" LP in North America). At the end of the tab
I've included all the guitar parts from the original recording of the
song that are different from the re-recorded version (guitar solo,outro).

Note on fretboard position: The video footage referenced for this tab was
the "Play At Home" video. It clearly shows Kelly playing the Intro as
tabbed, playing the opening progression with the E5 at the 12th fret. None
of the footage shows where she's playing the E5 during the verses, but it
makes the most sense to play it at the 7th fret, putting it in close
proximity to where the harmonics are played (making for an easier
transition between the two). So right where the Intro leads into the 1st
Verse, I switched that ascending progression from the 12th-14th frets to
the 5th-7th frets (in order to enter the verse on that 7th fret E5 chord),
although that may not be exactly how it's played. (Other video footage
shows that Cris plays both Intro and Verses in the 5th-7th fret area.)
Also, on the "Play At Home" footage, all of the lead guitar soloing
corresponds to the re-recorded version of "SBM", not the original
version.
