Sugar Mountain (back)
TUNING: DGCFAD
SUBMITTED BY: Malc Brookes CHORDS: Dadd2add4:x54030 Fadd9:1x3213 C/G:3x2013 G:320003 C:x32010 Intro rewritten by Mike Campbell. I've had a go at both the Decade and Live Rust versions and what I've come up with is the chords to the Decade version, plus a note about some of the variations in the Live Rust version. In the Decade version the basic chords are pretty straight forward, but there are a lot of ad lib embellishments, especially to the G chord between chorus and verse. You need to listen to the track to get the feel for these as any attempt to tab them faithfully, IMO, would be pointless. Also Neil starts off using the Fadd9 chord but about halfway through changes this to a straight F, but the Fadd9 reappears again at the end. This too seems to have a slight ad lib feel to it. The main differences in the Live Rust version are the alternative chords for every other chorus (see end of tab), the inclusion of harmonica solos and the absence of the intro/fill section between choruses and verses. There are also far fewer ad lib embellishments, the main one being a C/G (3x2013) hammered on during the G chord between chorus and verse. I also checked out the Live Aid version. It's a hybrid of the two and keeps to Decade's structure but adds a couple of harmonica solos using the alternative chords from Live Rust.
