From: StarkThis is how I play Morrissey's My Love Life, the KROQ live version at least. The studio version skips the part guitar I plays in the intro, and goes straight into the main riff. On the version Alain Whyte and co. play live, the main riff is played alot more freely (strummed more). I realize there are a lot of inaccuracies in my tab, but I just tried to produce a rough sketch. I would appreciate it if anybody could mail me, or post, corrections. ========================================================================= My Love Life - from the KROQ recording session Intro: Guitar I: G C A D |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |---5-5---5-5---5-|---5-5-5---5---5-|---7-7---7-7---7-|---7-7-7---7---7-| |------------5----|-3-------3---3---|-------------7---|-5-------5---5---| |-3----3----------|-----------------|-5-----5---------|-----------------| Guitar II: * G C A D |-3------------3--|-----------------|-0---------------|-----------------| |-3------------3--|-5------4--------|-3---------------|-----------------| |-4------------4--|-5------4--------|-3---------------|-----------------| |-5------------5--|-5------4--------|-3---------------|-----------------| |-5------------5--|-3------2--------|-0---------------|-----------------| |-3------------3--|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| * Note: every other time instead this is played, I think...

Good night, and thank you, Jerry, (jarnail@sfu.ca)
