This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Band: The Dandy Warhols

Song: Mohammed

Tabbed by: Thom

To get this sounding perfect, 'as recorded' you should tune down something

like a quarter of a step, but it sounds spot on in regular tuning anyway.

The chord progression, throughout the song is; (Em/D/A, Em/D/A, Em/D/A/D/A)

Intro: The first minute of the song is drums and effects.

At about 1:10 the acoustic guitar starts picking from the chords, within the

progression and Pete plays this lead:

Again and again, I get up and say

(Riff 1) (with verse chords)
