Band / Artist: The Shins
Song Title: Pink Bullets
Album: Chutes Too Narrow (2003)
Track #7
I didn't add strumming patterns or note duration in the tabs, just listen to
the song and you will probably be able to figure them out. Also tried to
point out most of the minor chord changes, if you are having trouble with
timing, check the chords version:
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/s/shins/pink_bullets_crd.htm , the main
chords are there.
Tuning: eBGDAE
Capo 3rd fret
Chords used:
Em (022000)
D (xx0232)
Dsus4 (xx0233)
Dsus2 (xx0230)

[F]C [(133211)](x32010)
Cadd9 (x32030)
/ slide up
\ slide down
h hammer-on
p pull-off
Intro/Verse
[Em] [-] [D] [-] [A]
Strum pattern is something like D - D - U - D, where the first down strum
emphasizes the bass note in each chord.
Also, in the strum right before each chord change, he plays the strings open
and then moves to next chord.
Sometimes he plays a little riff around the A:
[D] [A]
e|--2----0--0---------|
B|--3----2--2h3p2p0---|
G|--2----2--2---------|
D|--0----2--2---------|
A|-------0--0---------|
E|--------------------|
At the same time the chords are being played, a second guitar plays the riff:
Relatively to capo:
e|--7--------5--------2------2/3/5-------------|
B|-----5\3------3\0------0------------3/5------|
G|-----------------------------------------4---|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
