Special thanks to Mike As penance for an opinion post, here's an informative post--a guitar tab for Maggie Turns to Flies. (For such a beautiful song, that sure is a stomach-churning title.) Here's the riff. You know the one I mean. THE riff. B --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8 G --9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7 D --0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0 B --7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8 G --6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7 D --0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0 The other, chorus type part is G Em Bb9 Am 3 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 3 2 0 2 3 2 2 2 1 0 3 0 x x After the lyric, "You might wonder some day, you will go under one day" there's a slight departure. I think he plays: E --0-----0----- B --0-----0----- G --9-----10---- D --9-----10---- A --7-----8----- E -------------- Which is basically E, then F, as barre chords with the first two strings played open. I would provide lyrics as reference points, but then I'd have to figure out what the fuck Robert Pollard is singing. Try to do *that* on a NYC subway with a hangover and a shitty pair of headphones.
