No Doubt - Sailin On Submitted By: Anjel EMail: chimchim221@yahoo.com This song has two versions. It has the laid
back ska version that is on the MOM album. It also has a
faster style that ND usually play at their live shows.
Unfortunately, none of my bootlegger friends have ben able to locate a
copy of the fast version so this below is the ska style taken
straight from the album. part 1 (the verse and everything before the
first chorus) *note in order to get that delayed guitar
screech that Tom has you need to have a multi track recorder as
well as an effects processor or delay pedal. If you have all of
this and would like to know how to do the lick e-mail me
and I'll send it to you. It is not an essential part of the
guitar line! verse 1- reverb on guitar -7- -9- -7- -9- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- *the "m" means mute also remember that the top line is the
thinnest string!! The above two chords (one chord = one
column) are the only chords used in the verse. I don't think you
need me to tell you exactly when to hit them. Just remember
that those are the chords and make them fit!! chorus- turn on distortion/reverb -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -7- -4- -7- -4- -5- -2- -m- The chorus is only two chords long (just
keep repeating them!!). However after the second chorus there is a
variation when Gwen says "Yeah" right before the first horn
solo. This is it. Do this directly after completing the chorus
for the second time. variation- distortion -m- -m- -m- -m- (studder last chord to the
beat) -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -m- -5- -6- -5- -6- -5- -6- -5- -6- -3- -4- -3- -4- Everything else is fairly self explanatory
until they get to the last leg of the song. When the song
really picks up and Gwen is saying "Too many years with too many
tears". When this part starts quietly just use the verse
chords. However when it gets loud switch to these chords and turn on
your distortion. -0- -m- -0- -m- -0- -m- -2- -11- -2- -11- -0- -9- Rotate between these chords. If you don't
know when to play each one play along with the cd. Make sure
your guitar is in tune!! The last part is the wind down
when Gwen says "OHHHH" It is also two chords. -m- -13- -m- -13- -m- -14- -m- -15- -13- -15- -11- -13- THAT'S IT!! Now you can jam on Sailin' On
all you like. Enjoy!! -Eric Dumont Click here to return to my No
