"Santo" is still one of my favorite Pixies songs. I could never find a tab of it, so I made my own a few years ago. All I tried to do was make it sound decent enough to sing along with an acoustic. It may not be totally faithful to the record, but it's a start...

I was figuring this one out the other day...excellent song. A possible choice for the tribute album (I think I'm gonna stick with the underdog B-Sides)
