Soldiers Daughter

"Soldier's Daughter"--by Tonic

Appears on the release Lemon Parade

Tablature done by Travis W. Gillison

tgilliso@risc.usi.edu or Saila@webtv.net

Tune Down 1/2 step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb)

Notes: These rhythms are hard to tab, so you'll have to

listen to the CD and get the number of strums down. That

is hard to notate....Also, learn to use your pinky...Other-

wise, you won't be able to play this song. It's pretty easy,

once you learn the stretches, and the rhythms. Also, to my

knowledge, Jeff or Emerson do *not* tune down 1/2 step, but

I always do when I play most of their songs. They use a capo,

which will raise the pitch, but not the key. Trust me, this

is as close as you will get...Maybe just lower in pitch.

Also, the lead is *not* transcribed...Only the rhythm.

Sorry. Lastly, there a lot of individual notes that are

simply picked within the chord structure....Hard to notate....

Again, listen to the CD....Please e-mail me with any corrections.

Verse riff

It's the way he looks at you

That says to me

This isn't over

>From the outside looking in

You see there's nothing sacred here

Nothing sacred

(A)

You can bend...But you can't break....

Verse riff again

For the reasons out of our control

You try to make it roll

Like a dice away

But you say that you're all empowered here

This is obviously not clear enough

To me

(A)

You can bend...But you can't break....

You can't break

(G) (A) (Dsus2) (A)

Hey, little girl, keep dancin'....Hey, little girl....

(G)

Keep dancin' alone, 'cause there's not enough time in

(A) (C)

your day to keep you here....

Solo (Rhythm is chords for chorus)

(Bb)

Soldier's daugther, did your daddy...Did your daddy

(Dsus2) First part of Verse riff

hurt you? Did he make you feel bad?

(Bb) (A)

Did he poison your views...With the water he was raised

on?

Second solo (G, A, C, G)

Outro is first riff, ending in (Dsus2)

So over the hills he'd climb

Just to see her there in time

Just to watch the sun shine through her eyes

The sweet soldier's daughter

The sweet soldier's daughter

Final notes: This is my first tab, but I think it's fairly

accurate....Again, please feel free to notify me of errors
