pretty cool tune to play along to. got some chord changes that catch me out now and again which makes it fun.

love the little 3 note ditty on the last "watch it!"
with kim its obvious but true itreminds me alot of the breeders stuff especially the lyrics. never known frank to pen such fun words as "bam thwok" and "crash-a-wokka wokka" but they killer hooks.
definate fave to play, and whata find, thanks to whoever broke the news. read it on the home page.
wasnt no tame or or dig for fire but still...sometimes i forget its the pixies and remember its four of my favourite musicians making music together. that makes me smile.


anybody else had a jam?

yeah i've given this newbie a try. pretty basic as far as chords go but you're right bout the chord changes, just a case of tryin to anticipate when they drop. its fun. it will be learnt and mastered.

hey - long time hanger-outer first time poster:
would anyone mind putting up the chords/tabs for this song? My ear is not too good and my patience for sitting and figuring out a song is even worse.
much appreciated

love,
nick

yeah brackish grrl that tune popped into my head after i posted, and know it didnt sound bitchy. for you o9:

verse - D F#m (think its minor)
chorus - A (oh love...) C (crash a wokka) D (bam thwok!)

pretty simple song but fun to play. arent all the best?
this is only the bare chords but you'll know how to play em. the last "watch it" riff is a D chord, but just mute and pluck the three individual strings up and down as kim shouts "watch it!". if you play D as a barre on the 10th fret its the E,A,D strings.

i'm sure thee will be few corrections if i'm wrong but in the mean time have fun. hope this helps.
