(ver. 1)
Sonic Youth
SCREAMING SKULL

 >VERSE: theres just that one chord, C5, then rake in rhythm as kim says 
 >the werds. by C5 i mean the root note on the E string (8th fret) plus 
 >the fifth on the A string (10th fret) and possibly the octave on the D 
 >string (10th fret) if yr not too lazy. by rake i mean release the action 
 >a little so that the strings are muted, then strum up and down. with the 
 >right distortion this will sound like the album.
 
 >     C5   rake rake rake
 >             society
 
 >     C5   rake rake rake
 >             screaming skull         etc.
 
 
 >CHORUS: same idea, but with A#5 and G#5, alternately.
 
 >     A#5  rake rake rake
 >             i'll go there
 
 >     G#5  rake rake rake
 >             but i don't care
 
 >     A#5  rake rake rake
 >             i'll go there
 
 >     G#5  rake rake rake
 >             it's just to stare      etc.
 
 
 >             C5   rake rake rake rake A#5 A#5 A#5      (do that once)
 >       pat smear
 
 
 >SOLO: im so off on this. it really may be two guitars playing off each 
 >other by a fifth. dunno. the bass plays the verse/chorus structure through.
