LA LA LOVE YOU — THE PIXIES (From the album «Doolittle»)
Here are the chords for the rhythm part:
D A Em Bm G E Dm A#
e 5 5 0 2 3 0 5 6
B 7 5 0 3 3 0 6 6
G 7 6 0 4 4 1 7 7
D 7 7 2 4 5 2 7 8
A 5 7 2 2 5 2 5 8
E 5 5 0 2 3 0 5 6
I usually play the rythym part on my acoustic and the lead part on a
clean set electric + a little reverb. The song opens up with just the drums
and one of the Pixies mumbling something. I’m not quite sure who it is or
what they are saying. This is the only song that I know of, however, where
David Lovering does most of the singing.
xby = x bent to y
xdy = bring prebent to x back down to y
