Older - They Might Be Giants (Long Tall Weekend, 1999) ==================================================== NOTE: This is not meant to represent the actual recording, which is largely a cappella with an interwoven melody pattern & occasional power chords... and has been tabbed out properly in other versions on this site. This is an arrangement to allow a solo rhythm guitarist to play the song, just strumming chords. ==================================================== Chords are all staccato hits.
