Title: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1
Band: The Flaming Lips
Album: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots


This is my interpretation of the Flaming Lips song Yoshimi 
Battles The Pink Robots.  Although there is a crd version
of this song already in existance (created by Samuel Barker),
I decided to create a tab verison of the song in order
to aid guitar players in the strumming techniques used in
the song.  By useing Samuels chord progression with the
lyrics and my strumming rhythm tab, new guitarists will
be able to play this song with more ease.  I have
proveded Samuel Barker's original chord progression at
the bottom of the tab, to make it easy on readers.
Thanks to Samuel Barker for creating the original.

Intro x2, except replace the scale at the start of the intro 
with a quick strum of the same chord the second time around.

Verse:  C Em Dm G

E-0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0--0-0------------------------------
B-1--1-1-1---1-1-1-1-1--1-1------------------------------
G-0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0--0-0------------------------------
D-2--2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2--2-2------------------------------
A-3--3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3--3-3------------------------------
E-0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0--0-0------------------------------

Now strum the same sequence replacing all 'C' chords with
'Em' chords.  Then do the same with 'Dm' and 'G'.

Lead to Chorus:   F G C F C

The lead to chorus has the same strumming pattern as the
verse except the strumming pattern is doubled when you
get to the 'F' chord the second time around. The
pattern resets to default after this and the second 'C'
chord is played as normal.

Chorus: C Em Dm F G

Again, the strumming pattern for the Chorus is the same
as the Intro, except all palm mutes are removed and replaced
with 2 strums of the current chord (the verse prety much)
and when you get to the 'F' and 'G'chords it is played:

E-1-1-1-1--1---1-1-1--1-1-1------------------------------
B-1-1-1-1--0---0-0-0--0-0-0------------------------------
G-2-2-2-2--0---0-0-0--0-0-0------------------------------
D-3-3-3-3--0---0-0-0--0-0-0------------------------------
A-------------2---2-2-2--2-2-2------------------------------
E-------------3---3-3-3--3-3-3------------------------------

M = Palm Mute
... = let note ring
