Chloe Dancer - Crown Of Thorns Tab

Chole Dancer / Crown of Thorns
By Mother Love Bone, covered by Pearl Jam on a regular basis
 
CHLOE DANCER
 
Piano intro/verse, transcribed for guitar, standard tuning
(NB: if the big reach back to 2 on the low E string is too much, you can capo fret 2 but
then remove the capo when you transition to Crown of Thorns; ALTERNATELY play this
intro transposed down two frets so you can use the open E string, but then the transition to Crown of Thorns
is more dissonant since you still need to get to fret 5 base for those chords)

Chloe don’t know better
Chloe’s just like me (only beautiful)
A couple of years’ difference
But those lessons never learned (and you know)
 
Chloe danced the tables
In the French quarter
She’s always been given
So I can’t always make her laugh
 
But I’m proud to say
And I won’t forget
Time spent layin by her side (ooh)
The time spent layin by her side (ooh)
 
Dreams like this must die
And a dream like this must die
Dream like this must. . .

(NB: the main verse and chorus progressions are basically Hendrix-esque power chords,
use your thumb on the bass E string and to mute the A string.  Many interpretations
don’t include the bass notes, but I think it makes the song sound fuller especially if you’re solo,
short a guitar or playing on acoustic.  G5 can also be played 3X503X, but I think the version above
is better differentiated from the G.  I often let the e and A string ring in the A chords and the
e string ring in the G chords for fullness.  There are many good tab versions of the usual three
string version of the verse/chorus part of the song, this is how I play it.)

can play A5 as 577XXX if you prefer)

(NB: all these chord shapes are to compensate for the bass notes that aren’t there when playing solo – Jeff
seems to just play around with the low E string 8-10-8-7-5, and 8-10-8-7-10--| and I’m not sure the guitar
actually plays these chords, but it sounds fuller this way with one guitar)

(NB: the first two notes of the last lick, the A pentatonic scale on the E string, might
actually be just a palm muted 5-7 on the A string, but I think this sounds closer – also,
the first and final harmonic note can also be played on fret 12 on the B string or fret 4 on the G string
or any other variant of B – it is just feedback but tonally a B note – harmonic was the closest I could find.)
