Rex) (This tab is a slight improvement of my previous one). I don't know if anyone still listens to T. Rex, but I was a big fan back in the early 70's, and I guess I still am for that matter. In some ways Marc Bolan reminds me of Kurt Cobain in that they both wrote pretty simple but catchy tunes (O.K., not all of Nirvana's songs are catchy, but I think many are)--and of course they both died young. Here's one of my favorite T. Rex tunes, tabbed with the help of Marc himself in the movie "Born to Boogie": Baby Strange T. Rex There's not much to this. The sliding C# to D pattern is repeated frequently between verses; the verses are built around D. / = slide up Intro and between verses: C# D E--1/2-2---1/2-2-2-----------| B--2/3-3---2/3-3-3-etc.------| G--1/2-2---1/2-2-2-----------| D----------------------------| A----------------------------| E----------------------------| Verses: (Vary the pattern a bit on these) D Cmaj7 E--2---------------2---2----------------2---0-------------------------| B--3---------------3---3----------------3---0-------------------------| G--2---------------2---2----------------2---0-------------------------| D-------------------------------------------2-------------------------| A-------------------------------------------3-------------------------| E-------------------------------------------0-------------------------| I see you walking I see you talking With all of my friends...

The version in "Born to Boogie" is a half step higher. Marc Bolan doesn't use a capo on this one, however, so he either tuned a half step higher or the film maker (Ringo Starr!) sped it up a bit. I'm curious if anyone else likes this song (or has even heard of this song) and actually plans to try this tab. Please let me know if you do! As always, corrections and comments are welcome.
