Corrections very welcome.
Rhythm guitar
plays barre chords throughout, it's not very
prominent on the record. during verse there's
the odd strum on a G chord with a few A# chords
thrown in when the lead guitar moves up a fret.
Also when the bass guitar plays that short funky
section there's a D chord behind it.
for the chorus the rhythm plays :
A G F Bb G C A
break my body hold my bones hold my bones
Lead guitar

Lyrics :
I'm a hard loser
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us crawling on the dirty floor
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones x 3
I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones x 3
Somebody got hurt
Somebody got hurt
Somebody got her
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.
