Song: Sylvia
Performer: Pulp
Album: This Is Hardcore
Writers: Cocker/Doyle/Webber/Mackey/Banks
Transcribed by Aaron Heisler

_Notes:_ This is one of the best songs on the This Is
Hardcore LP. It's a nice mix of the typical Pulp
irony-laden pop and stadium rock that lends itself to
the Different Class era as much as it does This Is
Hardcore. That said it also has lovely, if
unexpectedly melancholy, lyrics about lost love.
Anybody else detect some McCartney in Jarvis' vocal
here? It's pretty simple to play, all the chords are
major chords apparently. I play this song entirely
with E formation barre chords because this is
apparently how the song is played by Mark Webber -
otherwise the slides do not work (except for D# which
I sometimes play as a power chord)
_Effects:_ The verse is played clean but later on
distortion and overdrive are introduced.
_Tuning:_ This song is played in standard tuning.

for more information. There is also a guitar tabs
section where things like this are exchanged but as
this is a Pulp tab it does not fit...
