[Blues it up in the first verse by adding these
where appropriate]
E5
Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor[?]
G5 E5
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
G5 E5 G5 E5
Put it on when I'm oh lonely
Am C D E5
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you di-i-ie
Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
[Outro (real tricky!):]

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.
