Guided By Voices: Car Language (from Universal Truths and Cycles)

Tabbed by: DouG

main riff:

|--------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------|

|--9--9--5--5--------------9--9--5--5--------------|

|--7--7--3--3--------------7--7--3--3--------------|

|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|

|--------------------------------------------------|

 

|--------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------|

|--5--5--7--7--------------5--5--7--7--------------|

|--3--3--5--5--------------3--3--5--5--------------|

|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|

|--------------------------------------------------|

 

play the first two parts twice, then this part:

|---------|

|---------|

|--7---9--|

|--5---7--|

|--0---0--|

|---------|

 

verse: (strum each of these a few times)

|----------------------------------|

|----------------------------------|

|--9--------------------------7----|

|--7--------------------------5----|

|--0--------------------------0----|

|----------------------------------|

   see the meaning of driving, and the driver insists

 

|----------------------------------|

|----------------------------------|

|--5--------------------9----------|

|--3--------------------7----------|

|--0--------------------0----------|

|----------------------------------|

   that you buckle up, wild joy of traffic

 

|----------------------------------|

|----------------------------------|

|--7------------------------5------|

|--5------------------------3------|

|--0------------------------0------|

|----------------------------------|

   and flashing metal interaction

 

then it goes back to the main riff

the second verse is the same

after second verse, go back to main riff

 

then the chorus is like this:

(strum each of these a few times)

|--------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------|

|--9---7---5---4--------9-----7----------5---|

|--7---5---3---2--------7-----5----------3---|

|--0---0---0---0--------0-----0----------0---|

|--------------------------------------------|

  this is car language turned on by the signal

 

|---------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------|

|------4---------------------5--------7----------9--|

|------2---------------------3--------5----------7--|

|------0---------------------0--------0----------0--|

|---------------------------------------------------|

   and everywhere we go, we do it fast by automobile

 

the rest is just repetition of main riff and chorus

 

second chorus ends like this:

|--------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------|

|------9-----9-----------5---4---5---7---9---|

|------7-----6-----------3---2---3---5---7---|

|------0-----0-----------0---0---0---0---0---|

|--------------------------------------------|

automobile, by automobile

 

 

you’ll just have to listen to the song to get the timing.
