Per Ted Anastasiou's request, here is the tab for Marquee Moon. If you're into Television, please let me know what you think of it. I know most of the songs off the first two albums, but if anyone knows how to PROPERLY play the riff from See No Evil (the part during the C7 in the main verse) please let me know! I can fake it but I still have no idea what Lloyd is really doing there. I saw him do it in concert last year and he seemed to be playing something between the 3rd and 5th frets. Anyway, I hope this starts a flurry of Television/Tom Verlaine tab postings!

The end of the solo where it really starts to build to a climax are just those 7 notes played in order. Sometimes in octaves, sometimes back and forth. Hell, even if I knew it I wouldn't have patience to type it in... At the end of the solo/climax, the chords are: D Bm D Bm Em Bm C D ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Hamilton Unlike most of you, I am not a nut. fred_m_hamilton@cup.portal.com -Homer Simpson
