heavy distortion, treble turned low, bass turned high 
(or else play it on a bass with the treble turned way up)

(note: this may not be in the same key as what is on the album, but i
think the basic intervals are correct) It is just easier to tab sonic youth stuff in standard tuning!

she looks through her hair like she doesn't care
E5 F#5                E5  F#5
what she does best is stand and stare
G5               C#5 D5 C#5
she can play the drums in two
G5                 C#5 D5 C#5

and they stand almost anywhere


G5               C#5 D5 C#5
she doesn't have nothing to do
and the boys say :'hey Goo what's new?'
