Understanding Salesmen by the Eels, from the album Blinking Lights. Tabbed by James Fennell (aka Eliot Rosewater) 9-Nov-09. Corrections to [email protected] A tab is given for the introduction and the first line. Throughout the rest of the song plucking and strumming go hand in hand. Just emphasize the lower strings more so than the higher strings. The only part of this tab that may sound somewhat askew is the D minor, however I attribute this to the presence of strings in the original recording from Blinking Lights.
