Tuning = a rare STANDARD for Mr. Malkmus.

These are the actual chords, but it’s a lot easier w/ a capo on 1st fret.
If playing w/ capo 1st fret, obviously just move each chord down half step
for appropriate fingerings.
C#Bleed the pot When you're C#/Chot you're hot
And when enBbmough is enough Do the fakF#ers drop out?
C#Promise me You willC#/C always be
Too Bbmawake to be famous Too wiF#red to be safe
But C#all you really C#/Cwanted
*Bbm F#
Was everything Plus everything
And the C#truth I only poured G#you Half a F#line C#
*Lead Guitar Part (starts at “Everything Plus everything…”)

(Play intro part again here)
C#Carry on It's aC#/C marathon
Take me Bbmoff the list I don't F#want to be missed
C#Carrion Its what weC#/C all become
From Bbmsmall minds and tall trees F#Away from the action
But C#all you ever waC#/Cnted
*Bbm F#
Was everything And everything
Plus the C#truth I only poured G#you Half aF#live Half aC#live
C# I only poured yoG#u half a lie F# C#
*(Lead Guitar part shown above played here as well)
(Next Malkmus plays the intro w/ subtle variations in it. I just improvise
this part.)
(Now, this weird double guitar harmony solo thing (at 2:17) is impossible to
figure out. Sorry. Please email me if you can figure it out.)
(Now for this guitar solo, there is a second guitar part harmonizing along
the way, but this is the main melody for the solo. Play it alone and it’ll
still sound nice. The end gets sort of questionable, but still sounds
close. Then the last 5 notes are a perfectly awesome ending. Listen to song
for exact timing of everything.)

Enjoy! Such a great song. I was surprised I couldn't find a tab, so I
decided to do it myself.
Peace.
