......so finally a song from the first album
this has been a pretty hard job for me (Im just a begginer in writing
tabs),
but Im pretty sure its 100% correct except maybe the solo
Im writing just the chords because I think its impossible to actually
hear the rythm(of the guitar,the bass is really loud)and its stupid to
try and write the rythm in a tab form
Also,Im writing them in brackets which indicate measure
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*
 

VERSE(I`ll be grazing by your window....)
repeat the chords 2 times:
                                          
| C | G | E | A |
 
| C | G | A | A | 
 

CHORUS(I know you don`t have the patience...)
 
| D | D | A/E | D |  X2 
...this A/E is not a slide
...listen the song for the timing
 
| D | D | G~ | A#~ | X4
... ~="let ring"
 

...then you repeate the chorus chords for two times
...when Mascis says "just a little more" you play the H chord(American B)
 
like this : | H | H | H | H |
 

INTERLUDE
repeat it 4 times
 
    F#     F#
e|------|------|------------|----------|
B|------|------|------------|----------|
G|--11--|--11--|------------|----------|
D|--11--|--11--|--11/13/11--|--7/9/7---|
A|--9---|--9---|------------|----------|
E|------|------|--9-/11/9---|--5/7/5---|
 

THE THIRD PART(I`ll watch you fall apart...)
it goes three times
...each time play these chords
 
| D | Db(C#) | D |
 
then play
 
    first       second      third  (..time)
e|-----------|-----------|---------------|
B|-----------|-----------|---------------|
G|-----------|-----------|---------------|
D|------7----|------7----|------7-9bend--|
A|--7-9---7--|--7-9------|--7-9----------|
E|-----------|--------7--|---------------|
 
after the 9bend the bass plays something
...I guess you could play | C | H | but Im not too sure
 

THE SOLO
...play this part 4 times
 
    A
e|-----|-------------------|
B|-----|--2-------3-2-0-2--|
G|--2--|--3-2-4-2----------|
D|--2--|--0----------------|
A|--0--|-------------------|
E|-----|-------------------|
 

...the solo(no rythm indicators here,listen to the song)
...I play it simpler,just use the tones you dont have to play it exactly
as the tab says
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--/14-13---------------------------------------------------------------
D|---------14-------12-11-------12-11-12-11-12-14b/r---------------------
A|------------14-12----------12------------------------------------------
E|------------------------14---------------------------------------------
 
e|--------------------14----14/12----14----17b/r-14-12-------------------
B|--14-12-14-15-14-15----15-------15----15-------------15-15b/r----------
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------12~------
A|------------------------------------------------------------(whammy)---
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 

..play the CHORUS without the first part of the chords
..play just a little bit of VERSE ending on H(?not too sure)
