Pablo Picasso

Some people might be familiar with this song from the *REPO MAN*
soundtrack. The modern Lovers didn't do the version played in the
picture, but it is their song.

This song has only one chord, which makes it a bit easy to play. The
basic riff is an E chord (an Em, I think) with a G bass note on the
third beat. This is played over and over throughout the entire song.
It goes like this:

   Em (?)

e-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------
B-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------
G-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------
D-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-REPEAT-AD-INFINITUM---
A-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-----------------------
E-0-0-3-0--|-0-0-3-0--|-0-0-3-0--|-----------------------

To be honest, I can not tell whether that is an E or an E minor, but I
like the sound of the E minor better. Your call . . . 

The solos are in E, and consist of a lot of E's. Try the E minor
pentatonic scale on the twelfth fret.

Here are the lyrics, with the chord:

Em (see riff above)

Well some people try to pick ....
