I'll do this song as my first tab since I actually watched the DVD and went to two of
year's concerts....I had good seats.
 
Tony's Theme
 
Rythym Guitar is in chords and is clean, lead guitar is in tablature and uses distortion.
 
Lead Guitar plays this during the beginning and the chorus(TO-NY)

Be very fast and accurate in this part. I watched Joey do this.
 
(You can figure out the chords from here. They haven't changed.)
I can get by this sort
If you give me some pass
Some glasses on the back of the road
He was even dressed like a toad
That's what class is
 
Chorus/Outro
 
TO-NY TO-NY. (8x at least if you play at a venue. Also, the Chorus Guitar Line at the
is played continuously until you reach the last chant(TO-NY).

Arthur_Jayz-G!
Nice Tab 4 stars! However the solo you tabbed is the one he usually does live as seen on the Pixies DVD with the pull offs at the end. On Surfa Rosa its a different solo with more noise and feedback...
