Yo La Tengo - Straight Down To The Bitter End tab

this is a simple layout of the chord progression

chords used:

c: x 3 5 5 5 x
eb: x 6 8 8 8 x
e: x 7 9 9 9 x
f*: x8 10 10 10 x

a: 5 7 7 x x x
g: 3 5 5 x x x
f: 1 3 3 x x x

the intro sort of sounds like this on the b string played over and over with some 
and some bending:

B:   4---3-1

with a

B:   -1--1--|
D:  ---3----|

thrown in there

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/y/yo-la-tengo/84592.html ]
the verse goes something like this

c                                       eb   e      f*
people say that once you dyed your hair

etc.

and then the chorus:

             a                               g                f
well the world keeps spinning, when you die

lay some feedback and a little sloppy shredding over all of this, repeat until finished
