Linus and Lucy - Built to Spill
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Daniel M.
Tuning: Standard
*** Rough basic tab, I didn't worry too much about the little fills Randy throws
*** in, you can just improvise that. Lead could also be rhythm guitar since they
*** don't play at the same time much. Completely possible to play with 1 guitar.
Rhythm Guitar (Clean): Verse
(Comes in after bass does similar riff twice before first verse)
(Play immediately after chorus with bass after that)
(After rhythm guitar plays this stop and let lead take over)
