Tuning: E A D G B E
Tuning: EADGBe (standard) This tab shows how to play Modern Baseball's cover of the song 'Palmcorder Yajna,' originally written and performed by The Mountain Goats. You can watch a video of Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball performing the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3d5Ooz9xsQ Modern Baseball's version of the song is in a different key than the original and has some changes to the chord progressions in the choruses, so it seems worthy of having its own tab. The song is played in standard tuning with no capo. The chord voicings used throughout the song are given below: E B F#m A Esus Esus4 G#m E* Esus4* C#m7 Badd4 Asus2 Amaj9 E|--7--7---2---5----0-----0----4--0---0-------0----0-----0-----0--------| B|--9--7---2---5----0-----0----4--0---0-------0----0-----0-----0--------| G|--9--8---2---6----9-----9----4--1---2-------4----4-----4-----1--------| D|--9--9---4---7----9-----9----6--2---2-------x----1-----2-----2--------| A|--7--9---4---7----7-----0----6--2---2-------4----2-----0-----0--------| E|-----7---2---5----0-----0----4--0---0---------------------------------| [Verse 1] E B F#m A E B F#m A B
