Built to Spill - Sidewalk



Tabbed by: Null / Miamasa


Alright, I can't take full credit for this as much of this was tabbed 
on http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/built_to_spill/04_sidewalk.html

by these two fellas:

I cleaned the tabs, added the power chord intro, bridge,
slide guitar parts, etc. Basically this song can be played
with two guitarists, save for the fact that for the outro
the 2nd guitarist would have to choose between the power chord
or slide guitar part.



This tab may not be perfect, but nevertheless enjoy! :)

NOTES
- The weird D chord thing can be replaced with switching between D and C# or such
- Slide guitar plays the 1st guitar part live for the verse/chorus intro
