Repeat ad lib with chord progression from verses, end on F:

           Pixies


The whole song is basically D(iv) C(iii) F(viii). On "The Dream Is
Over" solo boot Charles play's the last cord at first posistion.


        Wave of mutilation
          The Pixies


F      A       Bb    G7 Bb-A-G7-F
Ceased to resist, given my goodbyes
F    A      Bb  G7  Bb-A-G7-F
Drove my car into the ocean
F       A        Bb  G7
You think I'm dead but I sail away
   F    A  Bb  F    A  Bb  F    A  Bb
On a wave of mutilation wave of mutilation wave of mutilation
F  Bb
Wave
F  Bb
Wave

The verse chords should all be played in an E-barre shape. For the chorus,
play the F as before, but play the A open and the Bb as an A barred up one
fret.
