'Tractor Rape Chain' by Guided by Voices

from the album 'Bee Thousand'

standard tuning (EBGDAE top to bottom)

NOTE: I haven't tabbed the acoustic intro; if you want to

experiment, tune your guitar slightly flat from standard

tuning and use variations of the verse chords.

Also, I haven't included exact number of keystrokes in verse

progression; I tabbed it to show different voicings I use for

same named chords in the verse. If you have other voicings you

prefer to use for these chords, be my guest (gee, thanks dude).

verse progression

chorus chords (not in order)

****** how it all goes together ******

(acoustic intro not included)

(play verse progression 2x no vocals....)

(then continue to play verse progression while singing...)

why is it everytime i think about you

something that you have said or implied

makes me doubt you

then i look into your cynical eyes

and i know it

as if it never meant anything to me

(chorus)

parallel lines on a slow decline tractor rape chain

better yet lets all get wet on the tractor rape chain

speed up slow down go all around in the end

(again, play verse progression 2x no vocals....)

(..and continue to play verse progression while singing...)

in the first place its probably just paranoia

but theres a ghost in my room

and he says i better run

its a thing i know its a thing i believe in

won't you tell it to go away?

(repeat chorus)
