Murr Murr Mugison
I've enjoyed this song by Icelandic Mugison for a long time, so I thought I'd give
a bit of it a shot.
See it as a first draft and please improve on it. There are a lot of nice details and
to be found in the song.
Specifically, I have not tabbed the fast descent in the middle of the song. If I'm not
enough to play it, why tab it? ;-)
This is a tab of the album version (from Mugimama - Is this monkey music? ).
There are two guitars (or overdubbing) involved on the album. This is a tab for one
only.
Now, get that ringfinger and pinky tapping!
Legend:
/-slide up
p-pulloff
h-hammeron
[]-natural harmonic
Tuning: D A D G B E
Intro riff (also used in the song many times at the end of rhythm figure 1, with the
Am blending into the beginning of next rhythm figure 1)
[D5] [C5] [B5] [Am]
e|-----------| B|-----------| G|-----------|

e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|---7--------7--7-7---10p7-| A|---7-7h10h11---7-7---7----| D|-7-----------7-----7------|
At one point (at 1:26) the last part is repeated several times:
[Am]
e|--------| B|--------| G|--------|
D|---10p7-|
A|---7----| D|-7------|
Rhythm figure 2
This part is - like many others - quite muddled. This is a simplification. The high
are very soft.

Rhythm figure 3
This comes after the quick descent just after the one minute mark - which I'm not going
attempt tabbing.
It is also used towards the end of the song.
[A5] [G5] [A5]

This is followed by
Rhythm figure 4
Here - again - several guitars are involved playing almost the same but transposed somewhat.
Here's a shot at the lower register (I'm not that happy with this part).

When playing this at the end of the song finish off with the following harmonic:

Lyrics:
I try to do it quietly
not a whisper, more like a shock
try to disorganize neatly
what to keep and what to block
I'd shout like that old fly
in that window and wait
wait for a finger to squeeze
or will hesitate?
shout A
there aint no logic, there aint no plain
no roads you can travel free form pain
I'm only shoulder i'm only a kiss
good for confort and cool for the diss
the lord is my mom she's my save
I'm her troubled boy unto the grave
I pretend she's blessing, blessing me
hope she'll save me from this misery
