------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Eric Gonzalez Email:emg015@bucknell.edu Tuning: Standard So pretty much all of the Pinch Me tabs (intros) I have seen are pretty far off, so after searching numerous places, this is the collaboration I have made. I think its pretty close. Play it kinda slow, timing is the hardest part. Listen to the song. Theres a lot of potential improv to be done between the notes, as you will hear in the actual song/live performances.
