Tabs

Tablature for "Unfair" by Pavement
from their release "Crooked Rain Crooked Rain"

View it with windows notepad or a The DOS Editor if possible.  Word processors like to fuck it up.

This song, like all Pavement songs, sounds as if it's tuned alternately
because of all the extra notes in chords, but here is my version of Unfair...best I can do anyway.


Intro

Chord diagramA augmentedA| ---11-11-11----10-10-10-----9------ |
Chord diagramE MajorE| ----0--0--0-----0--0--0-----0------ |

Play the intro twice before the lyrics start.

Chord diagramG+G| ---14--13--13--13--13--13--13--13--12--12--12--12--19--19--19--19 |
Chord diagramD MajorD| ----x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x---x |

Chord diagramE MajorE| ----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0 |

Play that line twice.


For the part after the break, just fool around with the higher octaves and notes.
You can hear the bass playing extra notes too at the outro, if you want to play them on the guitar they're E(play open Chord diagramE MajorE then slide to 12th fret), A, and Chord diagramBB

Like I said, this isn't exact because there might be more to the chords than what i put here, and Malkmus is probably tuned alternately, but these are pretty much the correct notes.

Sorry if this sucks, but when I pretend to be a rock star in my room, this is what I play when I play along with it.
