Cortez The Killer Tab

Em/D/Am
 
 
This is the tab for slint’s 1989 cover of cortez the killer,
the lead guitar is mostly playing fills and licks in e minor key,
there are some instances where the audio is too muffled and you can’t
quite hear what the main guitar is playing, but these are few
and far in between so It shouldn’t bother you so much
