Serpentine Pad

from Pavement's album "Wowee Zowee"

tab by Jezmund Eppink, rae4a@virginia.edu

The verse:

A5 power chords, tickling a G5 power chord at the beginning of every

couple measures, and at the beginning of each measure during the

second part of the verse. Here's the gist with a lame attempt at the lyrics.

Frequently called nothin' buts

Snorin' when you snap it back

Everyone

Knows it's you

Why won't you admit it, scream

You

That E5 is:

Then, the little bridge-riff is:

And take it all

Verse again, then the chorus, which goes like this:

single-note A (7th fret on D) D5

I be-lieve,

A-note C5 E5

that I'll never leave your serpentine pad.

(just in case yr wondering, all the chords are barre)

My interpretation of the lyrics:

Frequently called nothin' buts

Snorin' when you snap it back

Everybody, knows it's you, why won't you admit it, scream!

You

And take it all

Corporate integration

From the corporation

I don't need this corporation attitude

Tude tude tude

--Chorus--

I believe,

That I'll never leave

Your serpentine pad

Darlin' when you wake up

Better ask the grown-ups

If they have, hose and twine, leave the man who needed the lice

Think it might

Be another scene, bet

I don't wanna know, but

I don't know, if I should, if I could or if I would, anyway

(serpentine pad)

--Chorus--

End.
