Band : Pixies
Song : Where is my Mind?
Tuning : Standard (EADG)
Tabbed by : KIXX (ecy69@netscape.net)
This tab has nothing to do with the original bass line of the song. I put it
up here for the ones who want to play/cover this song with more attractive
groove :) You play "Bridge to Riff x" between each of the appropriate riffs...
Also a note for the re—tabbing of the original: I can not agree with Bobby
Lukens on that second riff. Though the guitars mute at that point, I still
hear the C# which our friend has left out in Riff 2. Moreover, I checked that
riff for the guitar in OLGA, that C# *is* there. But one—octave lower E is
right on that riff.
Rest 6 measures
