Still Ill
(Morrissey/Marr)
Comments:
Thanks Niall Hanley for tabbing this. Thanks Peter Weldon for the chords.

Capo on 2nd Fret
Tuning : As with most Smiths tunes ,tune up a whole tone to F# or Capo on 
the second fret. This is a classic.
Note* when playing the first bit, kind of ‘pop’ the strings so they don’t sustain.
This is could be played with fingers not plec.

Intro : Damp the strings around the third fret and chug along with the 
drums. Just before the riff comes in jingle the bottom two strings open like 
this………
