Sonic Youth - Skip Tracer

Thurston
tuning: F#F#GGAA

i'm just divide this song up into three sections, the intro, the bridge, and the outro

intro:

A---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------5------3------4--------------5---------4-------5-----
G---------------------------------------------------------------------6-----
G--------------4-----------4-----------------------------4------------0-----
F#---------5-------5--------------------------5-----------------------------
F#-----0---------------------------------0----------------------------------

he occasionally substitutes this chord in at the end:
A-----5---
A-----5---
G-----0--- during the intro riff, don't be afraid to throw in various open
G-----0--- strings as well
F#--------
F#--------


bridge:
tremolo---} tremolo-----}
A---------------------------------10-----11---------------------------------10-----------
A---------------------------------10-----11---------------------------------10-----------
G-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0------0-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0-----------
G-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0------0-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0-----------
F#----9---9---9---9---9---9---9-----------------8---8---8---8---8---8---8----------------
F#----9---9---9---9---9---9---9-----------------8---8---8---8---8---8---8----------------

he plays that for awhile until the song calms down, then he plays this:

outro:
A---------------------10---
A---------------------10---
G-------0------0-------0---
G-------0------0-------0---
F#-----13-----13-----------
F#-----13-----13-----------

he just plays that little pattern over and over until the end, where he just
tremolos the open F#'s......and that's it
