The Pixies
“Hey”

Intro
(About two seconds after “Hey”)
G|--------
D|--------
A|--------
E|-2------ (let it ring a second or so)

Verse
(x3)
G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|--012-2--2345-5--5--------------
E|-2----------------023-3--3012-2-

(x1)
G|-------------------------R------
D|-------------------------E------
A|--012-2--2345-5--5-------S------
E|-2----------------023----T------

Chorus
“()” indicates ghost notes
G|---------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------
E|-(00000000)-(77777777)-(33333333)-(00000000)-

(x3)
G|----------------------------
D|----------------------------
A|----------------------------
E|-77777777-33333333-00000000-

(x1)
G|---------------------
D|---------------------
A|---------------------
E|-77777777-3-3—3012-2- (back to verse)

The second verse lasts longer and about halfway through (right after the “uh”
and just before Black Francis starts singing again) there’s a point where it goes:
G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|--012-2--2345-5--5--------------
E|-2----------------023-----012---

G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|--012-2--2345-5--5--------------
E|------------------023-3--3012-2-

(Basically, you’re just not hitting a couple of notes – one listen and
you’ll figure it out)

After the first chorus the bass goes 3 3 3 0 1 2 2 2 on the E string.

Listen to the song and play that to it ;)

Ed is right! Although I have to say one of the best things about Kim Deal is her willingness to not be a slave to how the bass line usually goes. She mixes it up a bit. I love that.
