Tuning: (from low to high) EADGBe
This is as close as you're going to playing along with the record without tuning your
guitar to a fucked tuning.
Note: to simulate Lee's part on record you could either tune your high E in sync
with the B string and play one fingered leads along with the B string or you could just use
a chorus pedal(or a whammy pedal) and play the leads on the G string. I have written it out
in standard tunning with a chorus pedal, but if you are playing it with the high E down one
chord will have to change: xx4052 becomes xx4057.
First Intro, Thurston clean guitar with mild chorus, strum slowly or fingerpick,
but emphasis the notes on the high e and B strings.

	Theres alot of drug references in this song and/or images of hallucination: "lets go walking on the water" etc which could also be a biblical reference but then there is also the references to relationship's "should i stay or go?" but that could be about her trying to get off drugs....maybe.

	this song looks kinda sex-related(don't most their songs?),but when kim shout out "i wanna know i wanna know",her voice is...it definitely mean something.it sounds very sad,angry and also scared.

	sex. . . just like EVERY OTHER SONIC YOUTH SONG

No Picture john Wanna Be	#4 by john dolmayan at Oct 4, 2007 at 8:14 PM EST
	This might seem explaination too simple, but I think it's about wanting to know what to do with yourself. She keeps saying 'i wanna know', and makes a comment about the future. She asking someone to come with her somewhere, like she doesn't want to be alone when she's trying to figure things out.

No Picture Dan Professional Badass	#5 by Dan Hudspith at Oct 10, 2007 at 1:10 PM EST
	A girl is trying to seduce a guy and is unsure whether or not she's welcome at his place, even during the act she keeps asking whether she should just go home.

	yes because of course it has to be one or the other rolls eyes
