Ok, this is my first attempt at a tab on the net. I tried to figure out the
lyrics, but as you can see, fell far short. If anyone out there has or figures
out the lyrics to this song, or any Pixies songs other than the ones on _Trompe_
or _Doolittle_, then please fill me in, and I'll see if I can tab 'em.

(Don't send me too many of them flames either!)
Here goes:

"Caribou", by the Pixies, off _Come On, Pilgrim_

Verse Progression...   G Cm

Chorus Progression...   G D# A# B C#

I live cement
I hate this street
I bite lament
This human form
Where I was born
I now repent

Caribou  (3x)

Repent
Re-pe-ent

Give me white
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me knife
Knife me lets
I will get
What I like

Caribou  (3x)

Repent
Rep-pent
