Subject: PROTECT ME YOU by Sonic Youth
What I have transcribed here is the bass part for this dark song off of
both -Confusion Is Sex- and the -Kill Idols- EP. It is very simple and
the bass line repeats through the whole song. I am not sure about the
guitar but it seems to not matter that much.
The bass line for the beginning is an open E, for the rest it is:
G ——————————
D —————3—–0—–2–
A ——————————
E -0–0–0–0-0—————–
That is it, the lyrics are:
Protect me from ravagement
I am ten years old
I don’t know what I do
Pretect my myself
I am fourteen
There’s nothing to do
Protect me yourself
I am sixteen
Protect me from starving
I am eighteen
Protect me you
I don’t know what you do
Protect me from demons
That come at night
I don’t know what they say
They’re whispering
Sends the night air away
And makes me forget
I hope they come
Again and again
Here they come
Again and again
I hope they come again
Again
Again
