'Tractor Rape Chain' by Guided by Voices
from the album 'Bee Thousand'
standard tuning (EBGDAE top to bottom)
NOTE: I haven't tabbed the acoustic intro; if you want to
experiment, tune your guitar slightly flat from standard
tuning and use variations of the verse chords.
Also, I haven't included exact number of keystrokes in verse
progression; I tabbed it to show different voicings I use for
same named chords in the verse. If you have other voicings you
prefer to use for these chords, be my guest (gee, thanks dude).

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GUIDED BY VOICES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
