...said sadly  From The Bullet With Butterfly Wings single. Great song!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=   If you haven't heard this one, GET IT! James sings and 
written by:       plays acoustic and slide, D'arcy on Bass, Kerry on Drums, 
 James Iha        and Nina Gordon steps in from fellow Chicago band, Veruca 
                       Salt... Great Song.
 

Soo.. Git your acoustic out, and git yer friend a slide and go to it!

Tuning: 1/2 step down
(tab is represented as normal tuning...)

-- v's and ^'s are picking direction (v's=down towards ground)

-- If there big gaps in the tab where you know he's strumming, yes I know 
   he's strumming. I just thought it would look bad and consume time.

Intro: (let ring)

    Lover, can't find you, and noone knows what brings us here.

A few measures of G chords end the song...

And, yes, improvise for what I purposely left out, like go crazy with a 
solo with the slide during the song. It's easy to find a solo in this happy
little melody...

Quote of the day: It is a proven fact that men are smarter while standing up. Why do you think they propose on one knee?
