Break My Body - Pixies transcribed by Adam Farmer 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 intro ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- --9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- play above throught verses ----------------------------12-12-12-12- ---------------------------------------- --9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- play above at end of verses -12--10---------- -10--10---------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- play above pattern through chorus and then --13-12-10------------------------ ------------13-12-10-------------- ---------------------------------- x 2 ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- --13-12-10------------------------ ------------13-12-10/9/8/7/6/5-5-5 ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- then play note on 5th fret in similar way to the pattern on the 8th fret.
