Since there was only a Guitar Pro version of this song available and since
I have a ridiculously stupid job with lots of time to kill and my acoustic
guitar (my beautiful Franny) on hand, I'd spend a few moments and tab this
song. Oh Yeah, Pavement is one of the best bands ever!
Intro Lead Guitar: This is repeated twice in the beginning and on the
second time through the ending is slightly different, it looks like this
instead: G-----4-6b-4~~--|
D-4h6-----------|
This is played over the verse chords (It's basically the same progression
for the whole song, except that little bridge tab.)

That should do it. I tried to provide all the fills and such for the most
part and I hope I didn't make it overly complicated. I usually just play
power chords but the full chords sound great too.
ENJOY.
