			     MR. GRIEVES - PIXIES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Tabbed By : Kadavreski
 
Tuning: Standard
 
Quick note: i use Xs to denote pauses; don't play dead notes.
 
The funny bit at the start during the "Hope everything is all riiiiight" bit... [0:29]
 
G|-12-12-11-11-10-10-9-------|
D|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|
 
Now when everyone else / Drums come in... [0:42]
G|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-------------------5-2-2-2-2-------------------------|
E|-----0-0-0-2-3-3-3-2-3-----------2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-|
Keep going (just follow the tab with the music)
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-------------------5-2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-------|
E|-----0-0-0-2-3-3-3-2-3-------2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2---|
Yeah, tiny little pause after that last 2 where the X is.
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-2-2-----2-2-----2-2/5-4------------/2-0-------------|
E|-----2-2-----2-X---------2-2-2-2-3-3-----0-0-0-0-0-0-|
 
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-0-0-----------------------5-2-2-2-2-------------------------|
E|---------0-0-0-2-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-----------2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-|
The stretch of Xs is a pause with no bass. it's timed like the rest, so just follow the
i guess?
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-x-0-x-------------------------2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2----2-2--------|
E|---------0-0-0-2-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2----2-2----|
That last 2 is a biiig note. let it ring for a bit.
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-------|
E|-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-----2-2-2-|
When the music resumes... [1:36 exactly] (this last bit is timed slightly differently;
go with the groove, yeah?)
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-3\--|
aaand we're back to where we started. this part is about half the speed of the rest!
7 slide out is the very last note.
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-2-2---------2-2---------2-2---------|
E|-----2-2-0-0-----2-2-0-0-----0-0-7\--|

Awful. Certain parts too long; others too short....

i agree with the guy above but it sounds kinda close. The pacing and overall length of the tab is too short like he said.
