Admiral Fell Promises On : White Christmas Live By : Mark Kozelek Tuning : (revised - 09/06/2004) It's probably one of my favorite songs along with Riff Raff. It took me quite a while to figure it out. There are lots of variations around each riff, but generally it goes : Intro : -------- ----8--- ------9- --7----- -------- 7------- Riff 1 : h ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----7-79--0- ----4-5(2-0) --8-----8--- 5-------1-0- 0----------- --0--------- ------------ ------------ When Mark sings, he tends to simplify that riff into something that goes : --------0--- ------------ ----0------- ------------ ------------ ----4-5(2-0) --8---8---8- 5-------1-0- 0----------- --0--------- ------------ ------------ but there are some variations here too, so this is just one of the many ways to play this riff. Riff 2 : (a=10) ------------ --------0--- ------------ --------8--- ---(0)----0- ------------ ------7-7-a- 9---7------- ----4-5\---- ----7-----7-(7)--8------- 5-------1-0- --7--------- --0--------- --0--------- 7----------- ------------ ------------ Riff 3 : h 7----------- -------0---- ------------ ---8-------- ---------0-- ------------ -----0------ -----------0 ----0------- --0------0-- 0---------0- ---0------0- 0---0---7-7- 5-------5--- --2-----0--- ------07---- 5----------- 0-----2----/ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 5-----7----- ----0------- 1-----3----- 5-----7----- --H--------- 2-----4----- 5-----7----- a----\5----- 0-----0----- 5-----7----- (a=10, H=12th fret harmonic - in fact Mark only plays that harmonic the first time, but I think that's kind of cool. The rest of the time he just plays the open string.) Any corrections ? - . _________________________________________________________________________________________
