wish fufillment

<!--StartFragment-->this is for Lee's guitar in EEBBEF#

this tab should be fairly correct, though some portions of the chorus,
while containing the right root notes, may have the wrong fingerings.
there's one part that i couldn't quite get.

(use thumb)

F#--------------0-------- --------------0-------
E--------3--------3------ ---------0-------0----
B-----------3-------3---- X 2 (ad lib)   -----------0--------0-
B-----3---------------3-- -----0---------------- X 2 etc
E------------------------ ----------------------
E---3--------------------                ---0------------------

chorus chords (the strumming rhythm should be obvious)

F#----- -----------------------
E---3-- ---2^0--0------2^0--0--
B---3-- (strum muted strings)   ---2^0--0------2^0--0--
B---3-- X 2 ---2^0--0------2^0--0--
E---3-- ---2^0--0------2^0--0--
E---3-- ---2^0--0--etc 2^0--0-- etc..

then it moves onto:

F#------------
E---9----10---
B---9----10---
B---9----10---
E---9----10---
E---9----10--- X 3

for the next part ('now i can't HEAR A WORD YOU SAY') i got a little
stumped (help me if you can), but it sounds like it goes up to:

E--14--
B--14--
B--14--
E--14--
E--14--

and then when he's finished singing that line he goes down an octave to:

E--2--
B--2--
B--2--
E--2--
E--2--

yet somehow that sounds a tad off... anyway, the very end of the chorus
goes:

E--9--9---9-9-9--9\11--0-
B--9--9---9-9-9--9\11--0-
B--9--9---9-9-9--9\11--0-
E--9--9---9-9-9--9\11--0-
E--9--9---9-9-9--9\11--0-

the slide to the 11th fret is optional but sounds good...

let me know if this needs fixing.

WISH FULLFILMENT off DIRTY by SONIC YOUTH

tUnInG: EGDGED

Only Thurston Moore's guitar, becuz there's already a tab
of Lee Ranaldo's guitar!

verse: 
Hard to tell what he does 'coz it's mainly noise, but but I think he
plays something like:
D|---------------
E|---------15----
G|--14-14----14--
D|-------14------
G|---------------
E|---------------
(mainly variations of this)

bridge:
D|------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------
G|--12--X-X-X-12---11\9-9---11\9-9-9--
D|--12--X-X-X-12---11\9-9---11\9-9-9--
G|--12--X-X-X-12---11\9-9---11\9-9-9--
E|------------------------------------

chorus: he uses lots of distortion and maybe a phase-shifter?
E|----------------------------------19---21--
G|--13----14-----------------<15>---16---18 or something like this...
D|--11----12----14-----------<15>------------
G|--13----14---- ^use w-bar--<15>------------

the rest is mainly noise, but at the end of the
chorus he recovers:
last chord:
G|--13----14----16---9/11----13------16------
D|--11----12----14-----------11------16------
G|--13----14----16---9/11----13------16------

then some more noise in the second verse, which
i don't bother to describe...
the second bridge is the same as the first one,
and it's the same thing in the chorus too except for the noise-parts!!!
