I Bleed 
   Pixies
   (Doolittle)

    
OK, this song is DEAD SIMPLE (like most Pixies songs). Unless you 
can't slide very good, anyone should be able to play this. If you're 
a beginner and you're having problems with the slide-part, then just 
replace pattern 1 and 2 by 3 and 4. They should sound alike, but 
without the slide. Unless your bass isn't tuned properly...

These are the patterns. Look at the bottom of the file for the
order...

Patten 1:
   G            D
G-------------|-------------
D-------------|-------------
A-------------|-------------
E--3--3--3--3/|/10-10-10-10-

Pattern 2:
   G            C
G-------------|-------------
D-------------|-------------
A-------------|-------------
E--3--3--3--3/|/8--8--8--8--

Pattern 3: The same as riff 1, but without slide. The D is played 
           on the A-string, because it's easier that way.
   G            D
G-------------|-------------
D-------------|-------------
A-------------|-5--5--5--5--
E--3--3--3--3-|-------------

Pattern 4: Same as pattern 2, but without slide.
   G            C
G-------------|-------------
D-------------|-------------
A-------------|-3--3--3--3--
E--3--3--3--3-|-------------

First, you have to play a combination of pattern 1 and 2. First one, then two
off course. Play it 2 times solo, two times with guitars, then three times
more with lyrics:

        As loud as hell
        A ringing bell
        Behind my smile
        It shakes my teeth
        And all the while
        As vampires feed

Now it's the chorus. Play pattern one three times, the lyrics being:

        I ble-he-heed

(I don't know if there's a slide going on here. If you think not,
play riff 3 instead of 1!)

Now, it's back to the riff 1-2 combination. Play it twice without lyrics, and
then again 3 times with this:

        Pretty, my dear,
        Why are we here
        Nobody knows
        We go to sleep
        As breathing flows
        My mind secedes
    
Play the chorus again, riff 1, but this time six times.

Now play a riff 3-4 combination. Play it twice, without lyrics.

Next up, play pattern 1 three times without any lyrics.

Back to the 1-2 combination. Play it four times, with these lyrics:

        There's a place
        In the buried west
        In a cave
        With a house in it
        In the clay
        The holes of hands
        You can place
        A hand in hand

Now play riff 1 three times again, with the "I bleed" part. After 
the third time, keep playing the last note (D, 10th fret E-string) 
a few times. Listen to the record!

Maybe the order isn't clear yet, so this is the full song:

1-2 combo x 7
Pattern 1 x 3
1-2 combo x 5
Pattern 1 x 6
3-4 combo x 2
Pattern 1 x 3
1-2 combo x 4
Pattern 1 x 3


That's it.
I told you it was easy!
