Tab: "Fred Meyers" by Glen Phillips
Transcribed by michael a. mazur

Capo III

Intro, verse and chorus progression... most of the song is based
on these two measures, only with lots of variations. often, the
D/F# is a regular D... the little flourishes on the D/F# and A
chords are usually omitted during the verses... things like that.

G (320003@1)      D/F# (200232@1)              A (x02220@1)        D/F#A

G (320003@1)         D/F#i (200232@1)wanna see you sometime

A (x02220@1)     D/F# (200232@1) Acome (x02220@1)find me i'll be home
just between the costco
and the barnes and noble
behind a mom & pop grocery
shut down in the 90's
like all the other locals
they smashed the derams of the hopeful

i'm getting off track - sorry,
so like i said right in there
it was a frederick meyers
sold everything from fruit to tires
check in with the doorman
an old biker named slim
say you're here to see me
don't forget to tip him

Chorus:

G (320003@1)          D/F#we'll (200232@1)go dancing, set fires

A (x02220@1)              D/F# (200232@1) Atag (x02220@1)buildings, slash tires
drive go-karts like shriners
just hang out at fred meyers

bring a lantern with you
it gets dark in places
go up the escalator
to the section that was kid's wear
i'm at the back wall left side
under a sign that says "levi's"
top bunk second row
if i'm not in right then, ask around, somebody'll know
cause everybody knows me

one hand must wash the other
each man must be your brother
band up and take cover

we'll go dancing, set fires
tag buildings, slash tires
drive go-karts like shriners
just hang out at fred meyers
we'll go out babe, skateboarding
go looting, food hoarding
do whatever desire
just hang out at fred meyers

one hand must wash the other
each man must be your brother
band up and take cover

we'll go dancing, set fires
tag buildings, slash tires
drive go-karts like shriners
just hang out at fred meyers
we'll go out babe, drink moonshine
tip rubble on the eastside
dig deep holes to chiner
we can just stay in my bed at fred meyers
why don't we just stay in my bed at fred meyers?
