           'Underwhelmed' by Sloan

            from the album Smeared

   

   (Sorry kids; no lyrics included because I don't remember

    'em & I don't have the album anymore).

  

   chords (from low E to high E)

        A     - x02220

        Asus2 - x02420

        B     - x24442

        E     - 022100

        F#    - 244322

   

   The song starts with a chunky (palm-muted) F#.

  

   The verse chord progression is F# - Asus2 - B, with

   a slight variation on the F#...

  

       --2--2--2--2--2---0--0---2--2----

       --2--2--2--2--2---2--2---4--4----

       --3--3--3--3--3---4--4---4--4----

       --4--4--4--2--4---2--2---4--4----

       --4--4--4--2--4---0--0---2--2----

       --2--2--2--2--2------------------

  

   The chorus is A - E - F#. Only variation is an A - B

   progression after the 'i just ate my young' vocal. 

  

   There are several Chuck Berry-style blues scale slurs

   in F# during some of the verses that go something like

   this:

         -------------2-2-----

         ---4-(5)-4---2-2-----

         ---4-(5)-4-----------

         ---------------------

         ---------------------

         ---------------------

  

   ..and theres an octave riff at the end similar to this, if

   I remember correctly:

  

         ----------------------------------

         ----------------------------------

         --11-11-11-11--14--14--16--16-----

         ----------------------------------

         ---9--9--9--9--12--12--14--14-----

         ----------------------------------
