Hey guys this song hasn't been done anywhere which is a real shame. This is exactly how
Malkmus plays it - all thats missing is the little fills which are pretty easy to figure out
To tune: First you'll want to tune your "thickest" E string to C (two steps). Then you
drop your A string a full step down to G.
