Simple Minds - Glittering Prize = Tab anyone??


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ive worked out a little of this song, the main riff and the fact its in F.

Does anyone have/know the tab they could share with me.

The Real Me by The 'oo was easier the learn than this!!


Thanks in advance,

I don't have the tab, but know the line well,
here's Forbes & co. playing it back in 1982;

(6 songs from that Live in newcastle gig are on the Seen the lights double DVD)

the intro riff at the 10th fret of the G and D strings is played an octave lower for the verse (on the D and A strings),

and on the last bars pauses on the C and D,
before going into the chorus, Bb, A, C, D

in the choruses he also plays a D harmonic over the 5fret of the D string.
