Biography:
Sparklehorse was an American alternative rock band formed in 1995 and led by Mark Linkous (September 9, 1962 - March 6, 2010), a Richmond, Virginia native and last of a long line of southern coalminers. Linkous recorded much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his Southern Gothic vision guided Sparklehorse. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Minor was a frequent collaborator.
Before his suicide in March 2010, Linkous created many albums of beauty and discord and much of Sparklehorse's music has an introspective

Hey there; been a while. Here's a terrific Sparklehorse tune for you, that I can't
believe hasn't been tabbed yet. The song itself is recorded on a slightly overdriven /
compressed acoustic guitar, but you can strum this out cleanly and it still sounds wonderful:
Intro: E G D Am
Every other A-Minor chord, Mark does a little riff like this:
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0h1--0---------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----2--------2-0-----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse:
E G
Once I was a big old bear
D Am
Reigning blows on sparkly snares
E G
In the woods after the snow
D Am
The white noise witch her hammers cold
E G
Rest beneath the pine and rose
G D
In our suits and Sunday clothes
Chorus:
C G C D
Cheer up my brother
C G C D
It's gonna be al-right
All the instruments cut out, save for this guitar riff:
e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Am G C D
I know your hearts are heavy as mountains
e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Am G D
We're gonna go back home one day
Verse - Chorus - Verse - Fuzz/Tinkle out...
There are a few flourishes on the guitar, some lazy hammer-ons here and
there. They aren't hard to pick up. Make it your own, it's a beautiful song.
Thanks for reading!
