From: Ben Freeman 

Electric guitar tab for thera by Versus
from "the stars are insane" lp- teenbeat #142.

I don't know if the fingerings are correct, but the
notes might be. If you come up with something better, or
would like me to tab out more songs by this amazing
band, please email: Ben Freeman- toofless@eden.rutgers.edu
------------------------------------------------------

THE SONG STRUCTURE:

Intro - 1 - Chorus - 2  - Chorus - 3 - Outtro - Chorus

You can get the idea if you listen to the song, and
this tab should get you started towards semi-exact
duplication.. repeated parts *do* deviate slightly.

My Tuning: (Standard)
E ----------------------------------|
B ----------------------------------|
G ----------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------|
A ----------------------------------|
E ----------------------------------|

"x" means pluck each note with an individual finger.


------------------------------------------------------
INTRO:

R.B. seems to be using an effect here.
I use the volume knob. What do YOU use?

Play this once:

           x       x
-4-2-------2-------5-----|
-3---3-------3-------3---|
-2-------2-2-----2-2---2-|
-0-----0-------0---------|
-------------------------|
-------------------------|

Then repeat this 3 times:

       x       x
-4-----2-------5-----|
-3-------3-------3---|
-2---2-2-----2-2-----|
-0-0-------0-------0-|

1.
check the records for thera..
and find that she had swallowed the sun
and begun to spit it out at everyone
so mark the changing of seasons
because for no particular reason
she'll blow up and toss you
up and down around and round the block

2.
you can stop looking missy for trouble
you need to finally release the buildup before
she starts to lose her top
so mark the changing of seasons
because for no particular reason
she'll get up and kiss you..
