...said sadly From The Bullet With Butterfly Wings single. Great song!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you haven't heard this one, GET IT! James sings and
written by: plays acoustic and slide, D'arcy on Bass, Kerry on Drums,
James Iha and Nina Gordon steps in from fellow Chicago band, Veruca
tabbed by: Salt... Good Song.
Davey B./Toast

Soo.. Git your acoustic out, and git yer friend a slide and go to it!

Tuning: 1/2 step down
(tab is represented as normal tuning...)

-- v's and ^'s are picking direction (v's=down towards ground)

-- If there big gaps in the tab where you know he's strumming, yes I know
he's strumming. I just thought it would look bad and consume time.

Intro: (let ring)

I'll stop tabbing the slide, thank you. I can't hear it too well, and if
anyone else wants to do it, Great!

A few measures of G chords end the song...

And, yes, improvise for what I purposely left out, like go crazy with a
solo with the slide during the song. It's easy to find a solo in this happy
little melody...

Thanks go out to Brian McCall for setting me straight on Obscured. Somehow,
I do think that Billy managed to keep normal tuning...

***** Yes.. I am aware that these three notes are the same,
but that is how it is played.

MAIN SECTION

Guitar 2
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|--2/11~~~~---------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|

Through the verse there is more lead stuff...really easy.

Guitar 1 plays the above main section twice and then it goes to this:

|---0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------|
|---0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-3-3-3-3-3--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-1-1--------|
|---0--0-0-0-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--------|
|-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--------|
|-2-2--2-2-2-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--------|
|-0-0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 1 does all the above through the verses behind James'
and Nina's parts.

When it gets to the "Lover..when.." it does this twice.

|---------------------------------0--------------------------|
|------------------3-3--3-3--1-1--1--------------------------|
|----0----------0--2-2--2-2--0-0--0--------------------------|
|----0--0-----0-0--0-0--0-0--2-2--2--------------------------|
|----x--x--2--2-2--0-0--0-0--3-3--3--------------------------|
|-3--3--3--3--3-3--------------------------------------------|

Then to this.
|-------------------0--------0------3-------------------------|
|-1--1-1--3-3-------0--------3------0-------------0-----------|
|-0--0-0--0-0---0-2-2--2-2---2------0--0-0-0-0--0-0-----------|
|-2--2-2--2-0---0-2-2--2-2---0------0--0-0-0-0--0-0-----------|
|-3--3-3--3-2---2-0-0--0-0------0---x--x-x-x-2--2-2-----------|
|--------------------------2------3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-----------|
*******************
**** At this point the following is layed over the top.
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|-12------15-13p12-13-(12)-----------------------------------|
|----12-------------------(12)-------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|

Then it goes back to the verse riff simile, but changes on
the last bar before it changes to this

|---0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------|
|---0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-----------------|
|---0--0-0-0-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-----------------|
|-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-0-0-0-0-0--4-4-4--4-4-----------------|
|-2-2--2-2-2-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-----------------|
|-0-0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------|

Then to this "Now you know.." bit.
|------------------3-------------3----------------------------|
|------------------1--1-1--1-1-1-1--1-1--1-1-1----------------|
|----0----------0--0--0-0--0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0----------------|
|----0--0-----0-0--2--2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2--2-2-2----------------|
|----x--x--2--2-2--3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3----------------|
|-3--3--3--3--3-3---------------------------------------------|
*\Repeat this section a few times/*

Then just play an A for two bars with this lead over the top
_ _
|---17b-15b-14b-r-14b-r---------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|

Back into the "lover.." bit.

In the middle there somewhere it drops down to that B type chord,
(x2003x) but then drops straight back to the G

Then the "Now you know.." bit as above.

Then until the end it alternates netween those two G's.
(3x0003) amd (320003)

The little run thing is something like this.
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------2/5---------------------------------------------------|
|--3h5-------------------------------------------------------|


That is pretty much it...now, I see this as a fairly complete
tab except for those lead bits...but most of it is here!!
Please send me comments. This wasn't a simple tab because of
all the slight variations that I had to tab, so it took me awhile.
I hope you appreciate it :)
