Hey You tab by The Thermals

Intro

Artist: The Thermals
Song: Hey You
Album: We Disappear

the live intro/riff sounds a little different, because live, they play it with a BB
shape chord when they slide so and it adds a little extra ring to the BB string that can
sound a bit shrilly and off, but still correct.
Regardless of how you choose to play it, I find it easier to play c and D MajorD power chords
when sliding and
throughout the song in general, and also because it sounds more like the record.
One thing that is played with the BB chord shape is the last c in the Pre-chorus, which I
will mark with a
star. This extra note is to create contrast from the other c in the Pre-chorus, and it
sounds better when you build it up to the chorus.

chords:
{355xxx} G5G5
{x355xx} C majorC
{x577xx} D MajorD
{x5777x} D*
