The Flaming Lips The Observer (tab) The Soft Bulletin This song only has two sections: the riff and the bridge. The riff is really straightforward, but the bridge is more based on improvisation. Main Riff e|---7-----8-5--|---7-----8-5--|---7-----8-5--|-7-----5-----4--------------| B|-5-----5------|-5-----5------|-5-----5------|---8-----6-----5---(3-3/5)--| G|--------------|--------------|--------------|----------------------------| D|--------------|--------------|--------------|----------------------------| A|--------------|--------------|--------------|----------------------------| E|--------------|--------------|--------------|----------------------------| (The little bit in parentheses at the end is optional) Bridge e|---------| B|-10-8----| G|------9--| (Improvise around these three notes) D|---------| A|---------| E|---------| The guitar in the bridge is not prominent in the mix and does not have a definitive structure. He basically improvises using these three notes for the entire bridge. Listen closely to the bridge and you'll understand what I mean. Here is the song layout: 0:10-1:44 - Main Riff x2 1:45-2:24 - Bridge 2:24-end - Main Riff x2
