Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: stevelucky E-mail: [email protected] I can promise that this is 100% correct (well, let's say 99%). I found a video of David Bazan playing this song that was shot very close so I could verify the notes/chords. So, this is at least how he played it in that video, though I know he varies a lot of his songs so I'm sure he also plays this in other ways. Enjoy! Tuning: Standard

Intro repeated 4 times. Note: I'll often drop the note on the G string (an E) 
on the first chord as it's awkward for me to play, and it still sounds fine 
(listen to the song for the rhythm).
