Chords

-------------------- Great new song by Pixies. Here is the tab. It's mostly correct. The only part I am not so sure about is the solo, but you try tabbing Joey's thrashing about. The song is best played with the guitar tuned one half-tone lower (Eb tuning), but since I hate tuning the guitar, I wrote the tab both for regular tuning, and for Eb tuning. Correction welcomed! Thanks and enjoy. Regular tuning:
