notes: its about 94% right, the end of the chorus i cant figure out, you can 
improvise on the prechorus if you want. The last measure of each verse i didnt get exactly,
but if you play it with the song most of it slides. If somone could correct the tab for
the last line of the verse, it would be greatly appreciated.

anytime when you see it go |3-----3-5-0-3-5|, instead of just playing G, try 2h3 real quickly.

No Picture Mitch Average	#1 by Mitch Macaulay at Mar 24, 1991 at 12:53 AM EST
	While I don't know what he's saying, this song is SUCH a Pixies tribute. If you can't listen to the song and hear it just in the music, then pay close attention to the lyrics as the song fades out. He clearly says "Here Comes Your Man." ...which is the song that Back Seat Dog is modeled after. I'm in no way trying to diss The Pillows. They're brilliant, but the added fact that they didn't just cover a song, but instead, expanded on it is incredilbe. (It might be a different story if they didn't pay tribute at the end with the "here comes your man" lines) I can't stand J-Pop, but I'm completely infatuated with The Pillows.
