Maggie Turns To Flies - Not In My Airforce (Pollard solo)

Special thanks to Mike


As penance for an opinion post, here's an informative post--a guitar tab for
Maggie Turns to Flies.  (For such a beautiful song, that sure is a
stomach-churning title.)

Here's the riff.  You know the one I mean.  THE riff.

B --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8
G --9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7
D --0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0

B --7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8
G --6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7
D --0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0

The other, chorus type part is  

G        Em          Bb9            Am

3          0             1              0      
0          0             1              1 
0          0             3              2 
0          2             3              2
2          2             1              0
3          0             x              x


After the lyric, "You might wonder some day, you will go under one day"
there's a slight departure.  I think he plays:

E --0-----0-----
B --0-----0-----
G --9-----10----
D --9-----10----
A --7-----8-----
E --------------

Which is basically E, then F, as barre chords with the first two strings
played open.

I would provide lyrics as reference points, but then I'd have to figure out
what the fuck Robert Pollard is singing.  Try to do *that* on a NYC subway
with a hangover and a shitty pair of headphones.
