The Sea Of Cortez

• G

Note: I think this song is in 6/8 time. 

Do this next part behind the bridge like on an SG or Les Paul. 
So if you cant do this you better go buy a whole new guitar right now 
in order to achieve this sonic feat. 

e-0----------| 
B---0--------| 
G-----0------| 
D-------0----| 
A---------0--| 
E-----------0| 

Intro bit - Rhythm 1 2+ 3+ 

      2x                   1x 
e-------------------|--------------------------------------------------| 
B-------------------|--------------------------------------------------| 
G---5---7---9--10---|---5---7--9--10---9--10---------------------------| 
D-------------------|--------------------------------------------------| 
A---3---5---7---8---|---3---5--7--8----7---8---------------------------| 
E-------------------|--------------------------------------------------| 


The 2nd time through the bridge you end on the E chord. then to 
the picking bit. 

    G     C       F 
e-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------| 
B-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------| 
G---0-~---0--~----0-~---|---------9--9--9-------------------------------| 
D---0-~---0--~----0-~---|-----------------------------------------------| 
A---5-~---10-~----3-~---|---------7--7--7-------------------------------| 
E---3-~---8--~----1-~---|-----------------------------------------------| 


Verse - strum 1 2+ 3+ for each chord 

Two different ways of playing it. see which one you prefer. 

e---2-----3-----2-----3---|---------------------------------------------| 
B---3-----3-----3-----3---|--7--8---7---8-------------------------------| 
G---0-----0-----0-----0---|--0--0---0---0-------------------------------| 
D---0-----0-----0-----0---|--0--0---0---0-------------------------------| 
A---2-----2-----3-----3---|---------------------------------------------| 
E-------------------------|--7--7---8---8-------------------------------| 

Then play the intro part again where Daveys singing over the top 
of it this time. 

The Picking part - "when the motor stops i cant sleep..." 

Play it a bit messier than below. 

e---------------------------------|-------------------------------------|

The Bridge ("of the moooooooon...") - Just G, C, F. 

I think it ends on 

e-0 
B-7 
G-0 
D-0 
A-7 
E-0 

And there you have it. Enjoy!
