Perfomance Notes - Tanya has a talent for making your regular
chords sound really different (the open G in the intro for
example, i was completely surprised when i found it was just
G). The verse chords C and B are a little weird. I think the B
chord opens with a hint of 7th-ness, so i put it in. I play a
B7 (E7-shape barre chord at 7th fret) to begin with, then
quickly hammer-on my pinky on the middle B to make it major.
These chords have a rakish timbre to them that Tanya has used
in other songs (can't remember any examples, but listen for
it). Then there are the octaves for the chorus. I ended up
transcribing the vocal line, instead of the guitar line (in
the chorus) because the guitar is pretty masked and hard to
make out. I'll try to get the true guitar line later. I also
can't get the last few notes of the fill quite right, but it
sounds ok the way i have it.
There's a lot of low-saturation distortion, a high frequency
(in duration, not pitch) delay effect, and the tone is high.
The guitars are separated between the left and right channels
like most of the other songs on King (apparent in the intro,
left only). The "lead" guitar does a bit of doubling on the
verses, quieter and more muddy than the rythm.
Notational stuff: / and \ are slides, ~ is vibrato, a bar line
with two dots in front of it means repeat. I kinda sketched in
the chords over the lyrics, i'm sure you can figure out where
they go. when you see something in [brackets], it means "look
at the beginning and play the section that goes with the word
in brackets".

[VERSE] (these chords are repeated throughout the verses)
C B7 B B7 B
I wasn't there
but i heard there were flowers in his hair
Though not yet born to her
I know there's something magic 'bout the way she held her own
I know it's hard for the young ones

I know it... acutely, i heard it
[CHORUS]
Race me through this heart-broken town
Bang your boots and keep your head down
Race me through the heart of this broken town
[VERSE]
I used the voices of sandmen
To bring you home
I know it's wrong you're a young one
I know it... acutely, i hear it
[CHORUS]
Race me through this heart-broken town
Bang your boots and keep your head down
Race me through the heart of this broken town
