Mac DeMarco - Baby's Wearing Blue Jeans
                       from his 2012 album 'Rock and Roll Nightclub'
 
Mac DeMarco plays this song differently live. Mac recorded the album and then digitally
slowed down all the songs, so when he plays the songs live, they are 4 semitones higher,
which is how he originally wrote the song. So if you want to play it like he does live,
then move everything up 4 frets. I've tabbed out the album version, so you can play along
with that one.
 
Also, I've tabbed it out for standard tuning, so the last chord in each progression
(the one where you play the open A and D strings) actually uses the low D note. So if you
want it to be more accurate, then tune to drop D and play the 3 open strings together.
I've tabbed it in standard purely for convenience.

I really like this tab a lot, this is one of my fave songs by Mac and now I can play the whole thing through. 5 stars.

Let me start by saying this is nearly perfect, but I do believe there's a slight error in the first verse, it sounds more like it should be played like this e|--------5.------------7.---------5.------------7.--| B|-5.-7.--5.--5.-7.-----7.--5.-7.--5.--5.-7.-----7.--| G|-4.-4.------4.-4.-*4*.------4.-4.------4.-4.-7.----| x4 D|------------------*4*.-----------------------7.----| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| Perhaps I'm wrong but after listening to the song a few times I've noticed there's a lower pitch note than what was being played in this tab in the same position.

kickass tab dude
