Subject: TAB: Marquee Moon by Television
As an incentive, here's the song mostly TABbed out. I still need the
lyrics.... Thanks to whomever first sent me the TAB, since that's where
I learned much of the parts (also from my guitar teacher). As is usual
with TV's stuff, you gotta listen closely to catch the rhythms--they're
not at all straightforward.
Marquee Moon, from the album Marquee Moon
Written by Tom Verlaine
Recorded by Television
TAbbed by Jay Verkuilen (who got it from some other people--if I knew who you
were, I wouldn't have to post this again :)
Key: D mixolydian (D E F# G A B C).
Riff:

I don't think I've got the timing right above, so you'll have to listen
real closely. Richard's part goes for a beat or a part of a beat before
Tom's. Most of the song is this riff. The second solo (jam) is over
that.
Little scale part:
Play 3x last time
Tom: --------------10-8-7------|-----10-8-7-------------
------7-8-10-7------10-8-7|-7-8--------10-8-7------
--sl/9--------------------|--------------------9-7-
--------------------------|------------------------
--------------------------|------------------------
--------------------------|------------------------
Richard: Em C Am Am
I misremember the chords under this scale, so check them.
Then the Life in the hive... part (listen to vocal):
|D C|, with someone playing notes from the D mixolydian scale (Tom?),
ended with Gmaj7 chord and the following riff (Tom?):
Tom: ------------8-p-7--------------------------
------------------7------------------------
--------------------7----------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
The first solo (Tom) is a set of three scales with pauses in between, played
with alone, each in D mixolydian. The first starts on 15th fret D on the
B string and ends on 9th fret F# on the A string. It covers all notes in
between. The second starts on 10th fret A on the B string and goes to
5th fret D on the A string (then slides to 9th fret F#). Listen closely to
the song to catch the repeats. I don't have a guitar here, so I can't
check it to be sure and can't exactly remember what to do here. :(
The third part is:
v
Tom: -----19-19-19-19-17-15-17-19-17-15-17-19-17-15-17---22----
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
("v" indicates staccato with pause)
Tom: ------------8-p-7--------------------------
------------------7------------------------
--------------------7----------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
Second verse..., same as the first.
Second solo is over the main riff and is in D mixolydian. It starts slowly
and builds to a massive climax. The solo is one massive improv--Tom goes
pretty crazy through this part. Afterwards there are some chords, but I
can't remember what they are--nothing complicated, however.
