Exit Flagger
from the Guided by Voices album Propellor

Tabbed by Michael Davidson

This one's really easy. First of all, here are the chords. (All barre,
but it sounds much better if you don't play the high e string on the
e-shaped ones. Listen to the song; they keep it pretty low.)

A - 577655
B - x2444x
D - x5777x
Db - x4666x
G - 355433

The single-note riff (spelled with lowercase) is

A-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------------
E-----------------------3-3-3-3---------------------------------------

The main chord RIFF (uppercase) is the same thing, but with barre
chords. (That is, D Db B G)

Then through the solo it's just the RIFF four times,
an A, a G, and the riff eight times.

* Instead of A then G, you can play A (x0222x), B, Db, D instead which
follows the bass line instead of the guitar. (You can play the A that
way anytime, but I think it's easier to slide to the G if you go ahead
and play it on the fifth fret.)
