Chords

----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Cate I'm pretty sure I combined guitars here but I think it's mostly Carrie Brownstein's part (I'm also assuming Corin still plays rhythm). Let me know in the comments if you have corrections/suggestions. :D Intro:
