Bush
Glycerine
Sixteen Stone
This is yet another great song written by Gavin Rossdale. It is
real easy to play but it sounds great. To achieve almost the same
sound of distortion as Gavin uses, then you should definately try
out the Big Muff made by Sovtek.
When I use that, the song songs almost perfect. The song
basically uses only four barre chords throughout the entire song.
But, if you want to make it a little more complicated (and have
two guitars), then you can use the violin and cello parts that I
attempted to tab out. Enough, here is the song.....
verse
F-C-D-Eb
Gavin mutes the strings for a little bit while he is playing each
chord. You don't have to mute the strings, but it sounds a lot
better if you do. If you have even just a little bit of musical
talent, you should be able to hear
when he mutes the strings.

Chorus
F-C-Eb
This part is played around the time while he is singing
"glycerine", I call that part the chorus.
========
========
bass guitar enters somewhere in the song and just plays what the
guitar is playing. It just plays the root note of each chord (top
note=root note)
========
During the song, there are some chello parts and violin parts or
whatever the instruments are, and I attempted to tab it out for
guitar. I might not be right, so don't hold it against my, I
TRIED, so here is
my best shot at it.
key
s=slide
h=hammer on
p=pull off

fill #1 goes in right before the 1st line of "don't let the
days....."

G |-----------------------------------------------|

parts)
A |-----------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------------------------------|
also, during this the chello plays the notes of each chord being
played by
the lead guitar, if you want, you can play that if you have a
another guitar
by simply playing the top note of each chord (just like the bass
is doing)
****************************************************************************
fill #2 goes in right before the 2nd line of "don't let the
days....."
and is played a couple of times
E |-------------------------------|
B |---12--12--11--9--11--12--14---|
G |-------------------------------| (violin parts)
D |-------------------------------|
A |-------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------|
just like before, there is a chello playing the notes of each
chord being
played by the lead, guitar, if you want, you can play that if you
have a
third guitar simply be playing the top note each chord
****************************************************************************
fill #3 in this part the guitar and bass stop playing and the
violin and the
chello are the only things heard while Gavin is singing some
lines that sound
like "bad moon white again" but doesn't make sense and
are not listed in the
lyric booklet.
the parts in the parenthesis are the chello parts. If you decide
to play
them, you definately need another guitar to play it because the
chello and
violen are played at the same time. I'm also not sure if the
chello parts
are correct, but once again, it sounds o.k.

there are other violen and chello parts but they are exactly like
or very
slight variations of the ones above. Oh, IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES
OR
CORRECTIONS, PLEASE POST THEM, I COULD HAVE MADE A
MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!

lyrics:
must be your skin that i'm sinkin in
must be for real cause now i can feel
and i didn't mind
it's not my kind
not my time to wonder why
everything's gone white
and everything's grey
now your here now you away
i don't want this
remember that
i'll never forget where your at
don't let the days go by
glycerine
i'm never alone
i'm alone all the time
are you at one
or do you lie
we live in a wheel
where everyone steals
but when we rise it's like strawberry fields
if i treated you bad
you bruise my face
couldn't love you more
you got a beautiful taste
don't let the days go by
could have been easier on you
I coudn't change though I wanted to
could have been easier by three
our old friend fear and you and me
glycerine (repeat)
don'nt let the days go by
glycerine
I needed you more
when we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
it might just be
clear simple and plain
that's just fine
that's just one of my names
don't let the days go by
could've been easier on you
glycerine
