Subject: TAB: "Brand New Baby" by Semisonic



Transcribed by Shannon Morris with help from Dan Wilson.
Dan said he's been getting a lot of requests for the chords to this one,
hopefully this will save him some work. He gave me a few hints here and
there, so this version should be close.

Intro-EADGBE 
      1X3200 <-bass alternates between F and G on the top "E" string
               (I don't play the "A" string so that I can play the 
                  play the "G" w/ my pinky)

Verse-

   G                 D/F#                 Em7
