Collie Man - Slightly Stoopid
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: mooretsu
Tuning: Standard eBDGAE
This is for Collie Man off of Acoustic Roots. There are two guitars, pretty
basic, one playing chords, other playing riffs. Here's guitar one to start
out.
d = downstroke
u = upstroke
Guitar 1
d d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d d
e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1-1-1-1--0--0-0-0-0-0-------|
B|-1-1-3-3-1-1-1--1-1-1-1--1--1-1-1-1-1-------|
G|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--0--0-0-0-0-0-------|
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2--2-2-2-2-2--0-0--|
A|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--3--3-3-3-3-3--2-2--|
E|---------------------------------------3-3--|
This is what the guitar plays most of the time. The last two chords are just
the bottom three of a G chord - you could probably just play the whole thing.
A few times in the song (such as the end of the intro, 0:19) the riff is
played like this:
Guitar 1
d d u d u d u d u d u d d u d u d d d
e|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1-1-1-1--0--1-1-1-1--0-------|
B|--1-1-3-3-1-1-1--1-1-1-1--1--1-1-1-1--1-------|
G|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--0--2-2-2-2--0-------|
D|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2--2-2-2-2--2--0-0--|
A|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--3--0-0-0-0--3--2-2--|
E|-----------------------------------------3-3--|
Tabbing the second guitar note-for-note would be difficult, since what he's
doing is just improving with certain techniques and riffs I will tab a few
of the little riffs he plays throughout the song.
Intro
Guitar 2 (example at 0:04)
e|---3--3--3---0--0--0-----|
B|----3--3------1--1-------|
G|-----4--4------2--2------|
D|-------------------------|
A|------------0------------|
E|--3----------------------|
This is basically what guitar 1 is playing but arpeggiated, so keep that in
mind, this is repeated on and off throughout the song.
Riff A Riff B
e|-----3p0--||-----3p0-----| These two riffs are played on and off
B|--3h5-----||--3h5---0h1--| throughout the song.
G|----------||-------------| (examples: 0:17, 0:21, 0:23)
D|----------||-------------|
A|----------||-------------|
E|----------||-------------|
Riff C
e|-3/5\3/5--| This is played during the section of the G chord at certain
B|-3/5\3/5--| times. (example: 0:11)
G|----------| It's probably an echo effect of the 3/5 slide but I tabbed it.
D|----------|
A|----------|
E|----------|
I love this song, and Slightly Stoopid. They're great live.
This probably a lot wrong but it sounds fine to me. Enjoy
Corrections please post in comments!

| Best stoopid song by far, only rivaled by 'closer to the sun' it's simple, but has an acoustic flow that could chill anyone out. It's kind of a mixture of philosophy, and the writer just wanting to smoke some sensimilla (sensi herb-the dankest of weed) I'm guessing it's about a weed dealer (collie man), who wastes his life and people only call him for his herb (which better be damn good). but thats just my theory... after all it "doesn't really matter as long as the music goes on" | |

| I think that this song is about him being mad because his dealer (Mr. Collie Man) doesn't have his pot and he's telling the dealer how even through the rough times (rocky rocky road) he still has bought his weed and how it's messed up how he doesn't have it. | |
