After this the vocals come in, and are played over
that bass section up there, with these lyrics:
Speed leaving without warning
I need some place to sleep tonight
blowing in the rocking of the pine
After this is the chorus, and I have some guitar chords over
the lyrics of them (actually, powerchords).
You'll have to listen for when the bass is playing with
the song, but pretty much the whole time (the section above).
Actually, there's a whole bunch of guitars in the background
with weird noises, but they're about impossible to tab out,
and it's not very important anyway, so please forgive me.
A = 5 7 7 x x x
D = x 5 7 7 x x
Guitar chords - Normal tuning
Speed leaving without warning
-A-
the sunlight is going
I will fall
Into the mountain
Sun shines in the rusty morning
-A-
Skyine of the olympus mons
I think about it, sometimes
-A-
Sun shines in the rusty morning, once I had a good fly
-D-

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 PIXIES 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.
