OK Here's my go at Stolen Property. Hope this is useful.

Stolen Property

The guitar parts in this are pretty simple, if you listen to the track as you read this it should all make sense. The guitar first comes in when Dave sings "Maybe lost possessions". Just a single strum of an E and an Asus2 chord

E
022100
Asus2
x02200
E           Asus2
Maybe lost possessions
E           Asus2
Maybe stolen property
After Dave sings "Just an aphorism for every occasion" the first time
The guitar plays riff 1, doubling Marty's bass line like so:

Riff 1
D------2-------2---------2---------2------2--------2----------2----
A-----------2--------0-----------------2--------2---------0----------
E--0---------------------------0--------------------------------------

Riff 2

A---2----------2------0-------------4------2-------------2-----0-----
E--------0--------------------0---------------------0-------------------

At the end of the song, it's just playing a drone on the E chord rising into a crescendo at the end of each line doubling Rob's violin. You only need to play the bottom three strings.

There's someone standing in the rain like they have no place
to go
Maybe that someone is you, maybe someone you don't aim to know
E            Asus2
Maybe lost possessions
E            Asus2
Maybe stolen property
You just lie around waiting on a signal from heaven
Never had to heal any deep incision
Darling you are not moving any mountains
You are not seeing any visions
You are not freeing any people from prison
Just an aphorism for every occasion
Riff 1 starts
As if the only thing that ever matters
is your place at the table
You never read the writing on the label
when you drank from the bottle
it said Keep Away From Children
                                            Riff 2 starts
This is stolen property, this is stolen property

Let her run away
Let her run, let her run away
She can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
She don't belong any more, learn the hard way
She don't belong here anymore
Finders keepers, losers weepers
Finders keepers, losers weepers
This is stolen property, this is stolen property


                                      Crescendos start here.
Reach out in the darkness now she's not there
Reach out it's getting darker now she's not there
Reach out it's getting darker now
She don't belong anymore, learn this the hard way
She don't belong here any more
You stumble, sometimes fall
Pick yourself up! Hold yourself up to the light!
Duck your head ! Watch for the blade!
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
This is stolen property
This is stolen property
This is stolen property
This is stolen property

Thanks for that, LAMF. Isn't it remarkable how many great and quite radically different sounding tunes have been carved from a simple E to A interplay - from Bo Diddlers to The Doors and onwards.

I think I've said as much in the past, but then I've had plenty of opportunity after 32 days and whatever to cover a lot of ground Grin.

I have been working on some tabs recently, if you are interested let me know.
I have been doing some of David's solo work including:
I've Heard Things Turn Out This Way, You've Got a Funny Way of Showing You
Love Me.
I also have "Setting You Free" which was learnt from elsewhere.
