Major Leagues Pavement
Since there was only a Guitar Pro version of this song available and since
I have a ridiculously stupid job with lots of time to kill and my acoustic
guitar (my beautiful Franny) on hand, I'd spend a few moments and tab this
song. Oh Yeah, Pavement is one of the best bands ever!
Intro Lead Guitar: This is repeated twice in the beginning and on the
second time through the ending is slightly different, it looks like this
instead: G-----4-6b-4~~--| D-4h6-----------|
This is played over the verse chords (It's basically the same progression
for the whole song, except that little bridge tab.)
e--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-7-4---4-7-4-4-4-----4------7-4---9-7-------------------------------------| G-----6-----------4/6---6-4------6-----4-4-----4-4h6-4~~-------------------| D------------------------------------------4h6-----------------------------| A--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This fill starts where e---------------------------------------| the lyric "songs" is B---------------------------------------| sang under the B. G-6/8-8-6-8b-6-4-6/8-8-6-8b-6-4---------|

USE THE TAB FOR THE BRIDGE PRESENTED EARLIER.
They will wear you down sometimes, kiss the wine, magic christians chew
the rind [Gm]Cause bad girls, [F#]Are always [E]bad girls [F#] LET EM I[B]N!
That should do it. I tried to provide all the fills and such for the most
part and I hope I didn't make it overly complicated. I usually just play
power chords but the full chords sound great too.
ENJOY.
