Ok, this is my first attempt at a tab on the net. I tried to figure out the
lyrics, but as you can see, fell far short. If anyone out there has or figures
out the lyrics to this song, or any Pixies songs other than the ones on _Trompe_
or _Doolittle_, then please fill me in, and I'll see if I can tab 'em.
(Don't send me too many of them flames either!)
Here goes:
"Caribou", by the Pixies, off _Come On, Pilgrim_

I live cement
I hate this street
I bite lament
This human form
Where I was born
I now repent
Caribou (3x)
Repent
Re-pe-ent
Give me white
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me knife
Knife me lets
I will get
What I like
Caribou (3x)
Repent
Rep-pent
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.
