In the next few weeks I'll be retabbing some Pixies tabs and also releasing brand new ones (including Letter to Memphis, Palace of the Brine, and Nimrod's Son - Joey parts included).
Maybe the reunion got me re-pumped about the Pixies so I want to tab the songs now.
That's all.
Just quit a cult / going through withdrawal |

I have a simple chord book for Doolittle, which has the guitars tuned to E flat for POTB. So you may indeed be right. |

there are four sounds going down (excluding bass and drums) i can make out.
BF strumming the rhythm part (C - G - D# - A#)
Joeys's lead (what the FILLshow and Levtated posted)
(around 2:16, these two layers join in)
The A# to C notes repeated
Funny little string bend in the background |

there's an A# to C going on, but not sure if played as single notes.
*Bad Tab Alert*:
----x---/---x----
----x---/---x----
----x---/---x----
---(0)--/--(2)---
----1---/---3----
----x---/---x----
and those funny little string bends has got me beat.
tried every note on the board and still nowhere close.
edit: could be played on 6th to 8th fret on low e string |

Thanks Levitated, although I really should have made myself clearer(d'oh!), I know those bits by heart; It's the funny little string bends in the background and the muted notes that are probably played by both Joey and Frank(there's obviously some overdubbing going on). |

Posted - 03/20/2005 : 18:07:19
haha I don't know what he plays, sorry. I'd love to see more Joey tabs.
Just try to play some noisy notes, like if you were playing live. :) |

Thanks a lot Levitated! It's a real pleasure! :D
Do you know Joey's part, the lead thing he does in the ending (I am speaking of the studio version)? Or in which key he uses to play? |
| Levitated |
Posted - 03/18/2005 : 08:21:37
I can be wrong but here it is anyway:
Intro:
E G# A B
Verse:
E A A# A
Chorus:
same notes as verse but palm muted I guess
Ending:
E G# A B A# A |

also just incase you weren't sure, C means play a C major chord, D means play a D major chord. |
| frank black conspiracy |
Posted - 01/31/2005 : 11:00:52
it does indeed
why there's two / i don't know, but if you listen to the song, you can here it. one strum on the C then slide up to D |
| whoreatthedoor |
Posted - 01/31/2005 : 09:55:42
As this has become a tab symbol FAQ, I guess C//D (on 21 reasons) means a slide from the C barre chord to D, am I wrong?

Do you think the guitars are either tuned up or played with a capo on 1st fret? (like the Happening/Havalina)
That way they're both in the key of D.
Just a thought. |

I'm debating whether this song tunes down 1/2 step as well, but
it doesn't seem like it is necessary.
Key:
^ = bend upward half step or whole step
rb = release bend
r = release bend
/ = slide up fret
\ = slide down fret
p = pull off

In a place they say is dead
in the lake that's like an ocean
i count about a billion head
all the time
there's a motion
palace of the brine
i saw the cloning
of the famous family
i heard the droning
in the shrine
of the sea-monkey
palace of the brine
beneath reflections in the fountain
the starry sky and utah mountains
they are swimming happily
can't you see
a life that's so sublime
palace of the brine.
