I Heard You Looking Tab

Yo La Tengo
"I Heard You Looking"
Painful (1993)

the tab is in standard tuning, though Ira Kaplan has been known to have some alternated
tunings. one I came up with is (from low to hi): D#-G#-D#-G-?-?. you can play the song
with more open notes and it sounds pretty good. the top two strings are optional, really,
since no notes are playing on those two in this song.

intro:
w/ distortion. sounds good finger picked.
* the slides can also be hammer-on and pull-offs... whichever sounds better to you.

e--------------------------|
b--------------------------|
g--0h2~~/4--/7--7----------|
d--0-----0--/0-------------|
a--------------------------|
e--------------------------|

repeat, then it turns into this:

e----------------------------|
b----------------------------|
g--0h2~~/4--/7---//9\\7------|
d--0-----0---0-----0--0------|
a----------------------------|
e----------------------------|

e-----------------------------|
b-----------------------------|
g--2~~//4//7~~//9--11---------|
d--0----0--0----0---0---------|
a-----------------------------|
e-----------------------------|

then:

e-------------------------|
b-------------------------|
g--0h2-2-2-2-2-4-2-2-4-2--|..fade into intro/verse
d--0---0-0-0-0-0-0--------|
a-------------------------|
e-------------------------|

solo: use bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs to match Ira's style.

e-------------------------------------------------------------------|

g--2///14-14-14-14-14-12-11-11-12-12-12-14-11-12//17-17-17-14-12-11-|
d--0----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---0--0--0--0--0--0-|
a-------------------------------------------------------------------|
e-------------------------------------------------------------------|

repeat intro and then fade-out...

this is a really great instrumental song. i'm disappointed to see such a great band have 
few tabs out there. well, this tab has the basics of the song, maybe not the exact 
but enjoy!
