I did arrangements of two XTC tunes that I thought you and the greater community might appreciate. Here are the links:

Getting the drum parts right was a special challenge. Let me know what you think. Jay Glacy.

Guitar & Bass (UK)
May 2005

Generally Major: Colin Moulding Workshop
by Gareth Morgan

Ex. 7

BASSIST GROOVING OVERTIME
English Settlement is another must-have XTC album. Moulding's playing simply soars, and his fretless work is revelatory: it's as if he had a cupboard-full of killer ideas in waiting, and he lets them all out on one record. And yet it's in no way a chops-fest. Taste and musicality are the watchwords, and our snippet — based on the two-bar phrase at the end of the chorus in the sublime Senses Working Overtime — also features wonderful legato slides, solid grooving and high-register fills.

Hi-

Okay, this song is a bear - especially, since it ends up a half-step
higher than it starts.  But after listening to it for the past couple
of hours and referring to the variations at
http://chalkhills.org/reelbyreal/s_Senses.html I think I've got it as
close as I can.  I also found the corrected lyrics.

VIEW THIS IN COURIER FONT TO SEE IT CORRECTLY!

First of all, don't be put off by the keys.  The song is super easy
if you play all these as barre chords.  The fingerings flow together
very well.

Opening Am - G Guitar Riff:  This is really easy.  Finger the full
barred Am(5) and G(3) chords, but only fingerpick the following:


B:-5---5--3---3-----|
G:---5------4---4---|
D:-7---7--5---5-----|

I haven't found an elegant way to do the Dm - Dm/C - Dm/E - Dm, yet,
but here's one version:

E:-1---1---1---1-|
B:-3---3---3---3-|
G:---------------|
D:-0-0-2-------0-|
A:---------4-----|

Enjoy!  Comments, questions, correction to radialnerve (at) rcn dot com, please.

Cheers!  Kristin

My, my, sun is pie.  There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely, all sleep safely.

Bb          Ab                Bb                    Ab            C
And all the world is football-shaped, it's just for me to kick in space
C         Bb                       C
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

Bb                  C                    Bb          C
Trying to taste the difference between a lemon and a lime
Bb       C                F
Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime.

Hey, hey, night fights day.  There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly, all live slowly.
My, my, the sky will cry.  Jewels for the thirsty
And the guilty one's can all die slowly, all die slowly.

And all the world is biscuit-shaped, it's just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste.

To whomever manages the tablature pages at chalkhills.org (please forward
if necessary),

I have some comments on the guitar tabs you have, and would appreciate if
you posted them.

Senses Working Overtime:

First off, get rid of that first post (from unknown), bad tab, wrong
chords, even bad lyrics.

I've been playing the opening like this:
(muted)
B:---0-------0---0---|
G:-8---8---6---6-----|
D:-6---6---8---------|

and:

D:-6-6-6---6---------|
A:-4-4-6---7---------|
E:-4-----------------|

Easy to play, and sounds pretty accurate to me.

Hope this helps!
