Cherry Chapstick tab by Yo La Tengo

Tabs

Intro (listen to the song for timing):

Guitar 1 - Georgia:

D MajorD |--------------------------|
A augmentedA |--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--2--|
F#F#|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
D MajorD |--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
A augmentedA |--------------------------|
D MajorD |--------------------------|  x8

Guitar 2 - Ira:

D MajorD |--------------------------|
A augmentedA |--4--4--4--4--4--4--7--9--|
F#F#|--3--3--3--3--3--3--7--8--|
D MajorD |--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
A augmentedA |--------------------------|
D MajorD |--------------------------|  x4

Ira’s guitar is a little buried in noise here but you should be able to work out the timing.

After this, both of them play more or less the same thing.

Main Riff:

D MajorD |---------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA |---------------------------------------------------------|
F#F#|---------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD |-7-7-7-7-9-4-7-7-7-7-9-4-7-7-7-7-9-12-11-9-7-7-7-7-7-9-4-|
A augmentedA |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
D MajorD |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

D MajorD |--5--0--5--0--0--|
A augmentedA |--5--0--5--0--0--|
F#F#|--5--7--5--7--0--|
D MajorD |--5--7--5--7--0--|
A augmentedA |--5--7--5--7--0--|
D MajorD |--5--7--5--7--0--| Ira does some stuff up around the 12th fret when we hit this open chord.

Use your thumb on those 7th fret chords.

Repeat this riff 2x for the verse. Then...

Bridge (doo doo doo part):

D MajorD |-------------------------------------0-|
A augmentedA |-------------------------------------0-|
F#F#|-------------------------------------0-|
D MajorD |-7-7-9-12-11-9-11-7----7-7-7-7-5-4-2-0-|
A augmentedA |-0-0-0-0--0--0-0--0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
D MajorD |-0-0-0-0--0--0-0--0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

After this, Georgia just strums the open D MajorD while Ira freaks out. I’m not gonna bother tabbing his part,
so just shred away here.

When this is over, jump back into the Main Riff. Play it through the verses again.

“Running ‘round in circles...”

D MajorD |-5-0-5-0-0-|
A augmentedA |-5-0-5-0-0-|
F#F#|-5-7-5-7-0-|
D MajorD |-5-7-5-7-0-|
A augmentedA |-5-7-5-7-0-|
D MajorD |-5-7-5-7-0-|

After the second time through playing this, jump back into the Intro riff. Then thrash away again!
