 ...said sadly  From The Bullet With Butterfly Wings single. Great song!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=   If you haven't heard this one, GET IT! James sings and
written by:       plays acoustic and slide, D'arcy on Bass, Kerry on Drums,
 James Iha        and Nina Gordon steps in from fellow Chicago band, Veruca
tabbed by:        Salt... Good Song.
 Davey B./Toast

Soo.. Git your acoustic out, and git yer friend a slide and go to it!

Tuning: 1/2 step down
(tab is represented as normal tuning...)

-- v's and ^'s are picking direction (v's=down towards ground)

-- If there big gaps in the tab where you know he's strumming, yes I know
   he's strumming. I just thought it would look bad and consume time.

A few measures of G chords end the song... And, yes, improvise for what I purposely left out, like go crazy with a solo with the slide during the song. It's easy to find a solo in this happy little melody... Thanks go out to Brian McCall for setting me straight on Obscured. Somehow, I do think that Billy managed to keep normal tuning... -Davey B.

***** Yes.. I am aware that these three notes are the same, but that is how it is played. MAIN SECTION

Guitar 2|-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||--2/11~~~~---------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------|
Through the verse there is more lead stuff...really easy. Guitar 1 plays the above main section twice and then it goes to this:
|---0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------||---0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-3-3-3-3-3--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-1-1--------||---0--0-0-0-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--------||-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--------||-2-2--2-2-2-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--------||-0-0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 1 does all the above through the verses behind James' and Nina's parts. When it gets to the "Lover..when.." it does this twice.

Then it goes back to the verse riff simile, but changes on the last bar before it changes to this
|---0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------||---0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-----------------||---0--0-0-0-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-----------------||-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-0-0-0-0-0--4-4-4--4-4-----------------||-2-2--2-2-2-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-----------------||-0-0--0-0-0--------------------------------------------------|
Then to this "Now you know.." bit.|------------------3-------------3----------------------------||------------------1--1-1--1-1-1-1--1-1--1-1-1----------------||----0----------0--0--0-0--0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0----------------||----0--0-----0-0--2--2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2--2-2-2----------------||----x--x--2--2-2--3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3----------------||-3--3--3--3--3-3---------------------------------------------| *\Repeat this section a few times/*
Then just play an A for two bars with this lead over the top _ _|---17b-15b-14b-r-14b-r---------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------------|
Back into the "lover.." bit. In the middle there somewhere it drops down to that B type chord, (x2003x) but then drops straight back to the G Then the "Now you know.." bit as above. Then until the end it alternates netween those two G's. (3x0003) amd (320003)
The little run thing is something like this.|------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------||------2/5---------------------------------------------------||--3h5-------------------------------------------------------|
That is pretty much it...now, I see this as a fairly complete tab except for those lead bits...but most of it is here!! Please send me comments. This wasn't a simple tab because of all the slight variations that I had to tab, so it took me awhile. I hope you appreciate it :) Adam benmo@deakin.edu.au
