ascending scales like:

and many hammers and pull-offs kinda like:

with repeats of parts of previous riffs - improvise in the key
just be sure to end on a B or B chord.

"Where I Go" by Natalie Merchant from Tigerlily 1995
Transcribed by
Please! *Any* comments or suggestions are welcome!!
I've corrected my recent submission for Natalie Merchant's "Where I Go" below.
I had forgotten to add the F# chord diagram and also fixed some notes in the
tab after relistening to the song.
Here's my take on Natalie Merchant's "Where I go". This is clearly the best
song on her solo effort "Tigerlily". I think I only had to listen to it
about a million times before I could get it all down. Of course, I will
extend that standard disclaimer that this is my first tab submission.
Chords (standard tuning):
B B7 G#m E F# A#m A#m/E
xx o oo x xx xx o
|||||| 7|||||| 4|||||| |||*|| |||||| |||||* ||||||
|||||* *---** *---** |**||| ||||** ||||*| ||||*|
|||||| |||*|| |||||| |||||| |||*|| ||**|| ||**||
||***| |**||| |**||| |||||| |**||| |||||| ||||||
All the symbols are what you would expect. Here, B7 is named so
for lack of a better term. I looked through a chord dictionary,
but didn't see one the same as my diagram. A#m/E is the same case.
Chord Progression:
I use (B G#m E E x 2) (F# E F# E F# E) for the verse and chorus.
Later, there's just (G#m G#m E E) and the (F# E F# E F# E) with
some variation you will see in the tab. I use the B7 in place of
the B whenever Ms. Merchant is not singing. The A#m and A#m/E
only occurs once in two measures (at 3:19) late in the song
(see strum pattern).
Strum Key:
| down strum x muted down strum u up strum
d d |
4 quarter note 8 eighth note
Try the following for the verse (4/4 time):
B G#m E E
4 4 8 8 4 4 4 8 8 4 4 4 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 4
| x u u | | x u u | | x u u | u | u x u u |
d d | | d d d | | d v v | | v | v | v | | v
B G#m E E
(same as 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
above) | u x u | u | u
v | v | v | v |
For the A#m measures:
A#m A#m
4 4 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 (I use A#m/E on the down strum after
| x u | u x u | u x u | u | each muted down strum. You really
v v | v | v | v | v | v | v need to listen to the song to hear this.)
Tab Key:
h -- hammer on
p -- pull off
s -- slide
(m:ss) -- time marker at beginning of measure
