This is Track #1 from Stephen Malkmus' 2005 release "Face the Truth"

This is how to play the song if you are jamming out by yourself. 
If you want to play it exactly like S.M. you're going to have to
write him a letter and ask, or find someone who will take more
time to figure it out than I did.


The intro is a riff which starts on an open A string 
and goes from there (repeated twice). The verses are the
following chords played mainly on your lowest 2 or 3 strings.



A         A/B     C
There's a villain...

           G        F#
And he's giving...

F#-E-F#-E
Shocks! shocks!...

D 
Save me from...

D        C
Save me from



His name is...
And he needs...
Stop...

D
Fly above... 

D      C      F#
fly above... roam


D
Fly above... 

D      C      F#
fly above... roam


(same as before)
Well I never had much...
Leave me halving...

It's like my...
Though I never...
please deform...
please deform...

F#
(gibberish?)


**********(chorus)

        D
Let me....

      E
Of my...

      F
In my bed

        C
It's a lovely 

          D (syncopated)
leather brown...

No more shine
With the...
Of a...
It's a lovely 
leather brown...

It's pencil rot! 


**********


(back to the intro riff and verse)

He Catered...
Weakness..
Everybody...

Well my mind..
never was down...

Saved me...


(don't let this part trick you. This part 
is the same chords as the normal verse, 
but pretty much solos on the bass)


I'm here to sing...
About privelege...
of the human...

somehow you...
all of our minds...
See them in you..

**********(chorus)

end on A, you silly son of a b




This man is a friggin' genius of sloppy guitar. 


Feel free to make any corrections, (don't send them to me though, 
because I don't care) send them to OLGA and I'm sure they will
be happy to accommodate a better tabbed version of this awesome song.
