hey by the pixies (tabbed by downtothewell) [Verse] Guitar 1 (clean sound) (figure A) |-2---X----------2-----| |-3---X-X--3-3-----3---| |-2h4---X--2-2h4-----2-| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| (figure B) |-2---X----------2-----| |-2---X-X--2-2-----2---| |-2h3---X--2-2h3-----2-| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| in the verse, it's not the same riff all the way through, you have to play (figure) A once, then B, then A twice, and repeat. hope that makes sense, try it, it sounds good. [chorus] ("we're chained") guitar 1 plays: G Em Bm (repeat) guitar 2 (distorted) waits until guitar 1 hits the Bm for the second time and plays: |----------------------| |-15-------------------| |-17b(19)--------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| play that at the start of the bar for 3 bars, then for the next 3 bars, play the same riff in quick succession. Listening to the recording will give you the idea. after playing that, you move on to: |----------------------| |----------------------| |-(19)b17--------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| Once again, play that for 3 bars, and then: |----------------------| |----------------------| |-17b(really high)-----| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| yep, just bend it nice and slowly, and get really high and let it fade out. [solo] Guitar 2 |------------------------------------- |-3---0-------------2----------------- |-------2---------------2------------- |-----------4-2h3h4-------4---2-2h3h4- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |-2---0-------------2---0------------- |-------2---0-0h1h2-------2---0-0h1h2- |------------------------------------- Play that twice, then: (guitar 1 plays the verse bit underneath this) |------------------------------------- |----------------------------------7-- |-3/7---------7-9--(10)b9------7-9---- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |-10--7-------------10--7------------- |-------10--7-5h6b7-------10--7-5h6h7- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- |------------------------------------- Then: |----------------------|[Repeat] |-----7----------------| |-----9b11-------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| play this bar 3 times, then on the 4th bar, play it on every eighth beat. there's another bit, which i'll include, it's a really quiet part for guitar 2, it comes in around [2:23], when francis says "the whores like a choir, go uh!". when he says "uh!", play: |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- |-55555555555555554444444444444444- |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- |-00000000000000000000000000000000- |---------------------------------- |---------------------------------- i actually only heard that because i put one of my speakers next to my head for some reason. i don't think i'm imagining it. oh, i just listened to the recording off the bbc abum, it's louder on there, check it out if you have it. well, that's the whole tab, sorry if i talked too much, but i thought it would be a good idea to explain what was going on. it's my first tab, looks good though.
