Sorry about that last one... here's the tab
Kennel District - By Pavement


From the LP "Wowee Zowee"


Here's the no brainer bass line:


Tune your low E down to a D then play:


A A A D D D B B B D D D D


down on the low D(previously E)


                 
D(E)---7-7-7-0---0-0-9---9-9-0---0-0-0--repeated throughout



The rhythm is partially indicated by the dashes, just listen to the recording if you're 
not sure.


I'm only posting this because its a great little tune for a guitar and bass if you're just 
learning. Maybe this will help someone, somewhere...

	Went back to look at the older version of "Kennel District" found on "Crooked Rain x2: LA's Desert Origins". A lot less sophisticcated lyrics, and all over the place when it comes to tune. I transcribed it just to have: Doesn't look like she wears the suit She's got no scars in her eyes When she talks to you it looks like She's got something to hide Did she bust you in the gut that time That time I said 'I know it's true'? Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask? I can't believe she's married to roe I would have turned down the light And she really likes you a lot this time I guess that makes it all right. I wanted to stay there But you know I needed more than that Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask? why didn't I? [awoo] Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask? etc.

	This is an uncharacteristically beautiful song. It's not written by Malkmus like most of Pavement's songs, but rather by Spiral Stairs. These lyrics make a lot more sense than the "she wears the seek" I've been puzzling over for days; I like the "It's got more stars than the sky" version of the lyrics better, though. Anyway, this song is about lost love; the singer keeps getting put off by the one he wants until it's too late. Perhaps he realizes afterwards that he'd been looking at the situation the wrong way; if he had, instead of maybe just been obsessed with loving her, tried to get to know her or paid attention (asked), they could've turned out all right. Although after looking at the "rope" line, it seems as if she's hung herself, the impetus of this song appears to be that after she's gotten herself into a completely different, irretrievable situation, they meet up again and he realizes what happened and regrets it.
