Brick Is Red Tab by Pixies

Brick Is Red tab by Pixies

Guitar Tab

to the archivist:
there is already a version of this song on the
archive, but it is inacurate, and a kinda mish mash of
the two guitar parts. It also doesn't cover the whole
song... this tab is complete, and more acurate... I
had better tell you that it is all my own work too...
oh well... I hope this is ok...

Artist:    The Pixies
Title:     Brick is Red
Album:     Surfer Rosa
Tabbed by: Stuart Dinsdale

This is my first ever tab... I am pretty sure it is
100% but feel free to email and shout if it isn't...
