Here is a general transcription of "Backwater" by Meat puppets. I didn't havetime to nail down the bridge so you'll have to do some interpreting on your own.(I'll work more on it later). The intro lick that I have transcribed is alsojust an approximation of what is played. It's a simple lick in E majorpentatonic that you should be able to pick out purely by ear. I'll follow upwith more detail in a few days. Meanwhile we can get started on it.Transcribed by Mike LivengoodBackwater-Meat puppetsIntro (E-C#m-C-D) with solo guitar melody lineMuted dirty guitarAnd when I wake up in ...To feel the daybreak....There's a blood that's ...With a knife ...Some things.......They just stand ....Half .....It may seem...re....In the backwater swirling ....And when I shoulda' been ....Some things...will ....They just stand there ....Half unconscious ....It may seem.......In the backwater swirling ...Hey...I'm ....Good...Roll ....On whose ....-Solo-(over E-C#m-C-D)And when I wake up in the ....-Solo outro-Chords-0- -4- --- --- ----0- -5- --- --- ----1- -6- --- --- ----2- -6- --- --- -5--2- -4- -2- -4- -3--0- --- -0- -2- -------------3--------------5---5----------5-------5------5--------------3-----------------------------------------5--------------7---7----------7-------7------7--------------5--------------------------------------------8------------------10---10------------10---------10------10------------------8-------------------------------------------------------10-------------------12----12-------------12----------12-------12-------------------10------------------------------------------------------2--------------4---4----------4-------4------4--------------2-------------------------------Intro lick (approx.)E--------------------------------------------------------------lB-------------------------12-----------------------------------lG-----------------11b(12)----12r11--9-11-9---------------9-----lD---------9-11-9----------------------------11-11--9-11-----11-lA------9-------------------------------------------------------lE--/12---------------------------------------------------------lE---------------------------------------------------lB---------------------------------------------------lG-9-11-11b(12)-11b(12)r11-9-11-11b(12)r11-9-11b(12)-lD---------------------------------------------------lA---------------------------------------------------lE---------------------------------------------------lE major pentatonic (for reference)
