The Wolf


I hadn't submitted this tab because there was one online already. But, when I checked it I noticed there were some mistaken chords. So, I decided to tab my corrected rendition of Miniature Tiger's 'The Wolf'. Check a more user-friendly tab at link below

VERSE: D-Bm-G-A. D-Bm-G-Gm
Add nice, sugar and spice
I'll take you on a cruise to somewhere nice
You haven't been before
Love was meant for more.

You moved up close, I could feel your sweat
I kissed you on the neck and you got wet
It's a shallow treat
for a guy like me.

CHORUS: A-D (or Bm)
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Like they want to go home with you
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Like they want to go home with you

VERSE:
I've got nothing keeping me here
I've wasted all the love that I hold dear
I'll throw a dart L.A.
The wolf has run away

The guy you know thinks he's so slick
He'll kiss you on the lips but he'll get sick
Lothario...
He's a creep you know.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
D-F-A
D-F#-A
D-G-A
D-G#-A

White Magic

Here's a little more of Miniature Tigers. I can't believe that it's almost impossible to find MT tabs on Internet. Here's my transcription for White Magic. (check solo at link below)

INTRO, VERSE, CHORUS:
It's all G-Am-C-G

VERSE: G-Am-C-G
So you want a piece of the pie
I'll have to wonder why no one's trying to stop me.
I'll use black magic techniques
To sweep you off your feet, maybe you could be mine

CHORUS: G-Am-C-G
Do you believe in white magic?
Do you believe in white magic?

VERSE:
Small, you fit in the plam of my hand
Well, I could be your man or I could be a creep you know (down the street you know)
And it hurt, you fell through thin ice
I'll thaw you out with my eyes, maybe you could be mine

CHORUS: G-Am-C-G
Do you believe in white magic?
Do you believe in white magic?

Dino Damage


Miniature Tigers is currently my favorite band... I don't dare to say much about them, since I think I need to learn more from their music first. But, dedicating my precious time to tab their song says a lot about how much I respect them... Lucky Bastards!
The Wolf is by far my favorite on their debut album 'Tell it to The Volcano'. Unluckily, that one is already tabbed, so, not much to do there. Dear, guitarists and guitarists here it is: Dino Damage (check out riffs and fills at link below).

Intro, Verse, Chorus, it's all: A - D

You gotta let go when they get that old
You gotta let 'em go
'Cause if you hold on, they'll puncture your lungs
And separate your spine from your skull
You gotta let 'em go

You gotta let go when they get that old
You gotta let 'em go
'Cause if you hold on, they'll bite your fingers off
And tear you limb from limb
It's second nature to them

You gotta let go when they get that old
You gotta let 'em go
'Cause if you hold on, they'll tear your stomach open
And rip your guts out with their teeth
You gotta just release

Teahouse of Spirits

This is probably the worst work as a band from any Jane's Addiction member. Out of a crappy album, a terrific song is born!!!
I love this tune, and the vocals by Isaacs is simply breathtaking. The crappy group is The Panic Channel and the song is Teahouse of Spirits

For more details on how to play it, including riffs and solo, check the link below at Ultimate Guitar (Correction: When I submitted the tab at UG, they did not process it correctly. The actual chords for the solo part are: D - E - B - E - Bb - E - B - E - D - Db - B - A - Bb

From the silence comes the sound
The uderdrone beneath the crowd

CHORUS:
I can feel you
I can hear you
Give it all up just to be near you

Evil Blues




This song's name is a real mistery. Evil III. Outro (sold my soul for rock'n'roll). perhaps??? Anyway, I've called it Evil Blues all these years. You can find it in Satanic Surfers' 1999 album 'Going Nowhere Fast'. It's supposed to be a hidden track at the end of the recording.
I love when a band thinks, swims and creates out of their comfort zone.
Punk Rockers playing some refreshing, 21st Century Blues? Can't get any better than that. Please enjoy!

'Why would I care' piece of information: The first song I ever played in a band was SS's Armless Skater, LOL, had a great time messing around with that one.
