Intro:
For the intro Dave Pirner pounds out an A chord. Then Dave
repeats the intro riff while Dan Murphy (Gtr.2) strums the A
chord once and lets it sustain through Dave's little stop-time
riff. It looks like this:
Gtr.1 (Intro Riff)
E--------------------------
B--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2--
G--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2-- repeat
D--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2--

Gtr. 2(played right before Dave repeats intro riff)

G--2-2--2-----
D--2-2--2-----

E-------------
Okay, for the verses, just strum the chord once, then pick it
out going from the high E string up, like an upstroke, only
pick out the notes. And just listen to the album for the
rythym of the electric distorted parts and anything else
that¹s hard to understand here.

Also during the Outro, while Dan Murphy is playing the solo
stuff,
Dave Pirner, while playing his A and D chords, plays a D like
this:
D-007777-
The rest of the chord forms are first position for Dave
Pirner(Gtr.1)
and power chords for Dan Murphy.
Well, that¹s it!! Send me any comments!!
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 SOUL ASYLUM 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.
