  OK, this song is DEAD SIMPLE (like most Pixies songs). Unless you can't slide
  very good, anyone should be able to play this. If you're a beginner and you're
  having problems with the slide-part, then just replace pattern 1 and 2 by 3
  and 4. They should sound alike, but without the slide. Unless your bass isn't
  tuned properly...
  These are the patterns. Look at the bottom of the file for the order...

  Patten 1:
    G      D
  G-------------|-------------
  D-------------|-------------
  A-------------|-------------
  E--3--3--3--3/|/10-10-10-10-

  Pattern 2:
    G      C
  G-------------|-------------
  D-------------|-------------
  A-------------|-------------
  E--3--3--3--3/|/8--8--8--8--

  Pattern 3: The same as riff 1, but without slide. The D is played on the
        A-string, because it's easier that way.
    G      D
  G-------------|-------------
  D-------------|-------------
  A-------------|-5--5--5--5--
  E--3--3--3--3-|-------------

  Pattern 4: Same as pattern 2, but without slide.
    G      C
  G-------------|-------------
  D-------------|-------------
  A-------------|-3--3--3--3--
  E--3--3--3--3-|-------------

  First, you have to play a combination of pattern 1 and 2. First one, then two
  off course. Play it 2 times solo, two times with guitars, then three times
  more with lyrics:
      As loud as hell
      A ringing bell
      Behind my smile
      It shakes my teeth
      And all the while
      As vampires feed

  Now it's the chorus. Play pattern one three times, the lyrics being:
      I ble-he-heed
  (I don't know if there's a slide going on here. If you think not, play riff
  three instead of one!)

  Now, it's back to the riff 1-2 combination. Play it twice without lyrics, and
  then again 3 times with this:
      Pretty, my dear,
      Why are we here
      Nobody knows
      We go to sleep
      As breathing flows
      My mind secedes

  Play the chorus again, riff 1, but this time six times.

  Now play a riff 3-4 combination. Play it twice, without lyrics.

  Next up, play pattern 1 three times without any lyrics.

  Back to the 1-2 combination. Play it four times, with these lyrics:
      There's a place
      In the buried west
      In a cave
      With a house in it
      In the clay
      The holes of hands
      You can place
      A hand in hand

  Now play riff 1 three times again, with the "I bleed" part. After the thirth
  time, keep playing the last note (D, 10th fret E-string) a few times. Listen
  to the record!

  Maybe the order isn't clear yet, so this is the full song:

  1-2 combo x 7
  Pattern 1 x 3
  1-2 combo x 5
  Pattern 1 x 6
  3-4 combo x 2
  Pattern 1 x 3
  1-2 combo x 4
  Pattern 1 x 3

  That's it.
  I told you it was easy!
