Tabs

Dinosaur Jr. - The Wagon
From the album 'Green Mind' (1991)

Standard tuning

---

Couldn't believe there wasn't a full tab around already for this, so I've given it
a shot. It's one
of Dino's biggest hits of the 90s, with a distinctly J Mascis wild-yet-melodic
solo, but all I could
find was a horribly wrong tab and a pretty good one that was missing a few bits. Hopefully this
should cover it all, apart from the lead parts before and after the solo - they're too hard to
hear clearly enough to tab accurately. It makes more sense to do the rhythm parts there anyway, to
have a build up before the real solo starts.

==intro/verse

if you don't want to have to keep moving up the neck for that end bit, try this instead:

|2:52 - it's noise at this point, go nuts for the last second or two.
|       sounds like strumming fast whilst sliding down to the rhythm parts again, mostly
|       on the Chord diagramG+G and Chord diagramBB strings. mix it up, this part's meant to sound wild. after you're
|       done, head back to the bridge rhythm.


==end (4:35) - there's one guitar doing feedback (pretty hard to tab) and the other's doing this:
