Tonys Theme Tab by Pixies


I'll do this song as my first tab since I actually watched the DVD and went to two of 
year's concerts....I had good seats.

Tony's Theme

Rythym Guitar is in chords and is clean, lead guitar is in tablature and uses distortion.

Lead Guitar plays this during the beginning and the chorus(TO-NY)

Be very fast and accurate in this part. I watched Joey do this.

I can get by this sort
If you give me some pass
Some glasses on the back of the road
He was even dressed like a toad
That's what class is
