xAuthor/Artist: Jon Brion Title: Meaningless Album: Meaningless Transcribed by: James Veitch Email: [email protected] Please send me any corrections or additions ------------------------------------------ Chords: A-002220 Asus2-002200 D-000232 Dsus2-000230 C#7-x46464 E-022100 D/F#-xx4232 Em-022000 Bm-x24432 Bb-x13331 C#m-x46654 C-032010 G-320003 Note: Jon plays a little figure in certain portions of the song alternating between A and Asus2 and D and Dsus2. For the purpose of this tab I will mark them as A* and D* respectively. Just listen and you will figure it out.
