At The Back Of The Shell by The Kills




               At The Back Of The Shell






B F# B E G# C# 

Tuning: B F# B E G# C# 
(Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps lower. 
This is to get a low, bassy tone.)


This song is extremely repetitive and easy. It starts with:

C# |------------------------------|
G# |------------------------------|
E  |------------------------------|
B  |---9-9-9-9---9-9-9-9-9-9-(6)--| *2
F# |------------------------------|
B  |------------------------------|

C# |---------------------------|
G# |---------------------------|
E  |---------------------------|
B  |---9-9-9-9---9-9-9-9-9-9---| *4
F# |---------------------------|
B  |---------------------------|

C# |---------------------------|
G# |---------------------------|
E  |---------------------------|
B  |---------------------------| *2
F# |---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-7-7---|
B  |---------------------------|


And then it just alternates between the two notes until 01:22:

C# |-----------------------|
G# |-----------------------|
E  |-----------------------|
B  |---9-9-9-9---9-9-9-9---| *12
F# |-----------------------|
B  |-----------------------|

C# |-----------------------|
G# |-----------------------|
E  |-----------------------|
B  |-----------------------| *4
F# |---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---|
B  |-----------------------|


Again, alternating between the two notes but with a different rythm, as you can see.


At 02:07 it goes back to the starting rythm and stays that way until the end.
