Subject: TAB: Locked in the trunk.. HIP

Locked in the trunk of a car- the hip

I was shown this by my friend Neil Emburg he figured it out.

BTW this is from memory.

begining starts with two guitars one plays B and E in the background

(bass the same).

The other plays the main bit. I usually play this by myself so i play the

bass line on the bottom two strings at such:

i start with this chord ?

e|--2--------------------------------|
b|--3--------------------------------|
g|--2--------------------------------|
d|--2--------------------------------|
a|--2--------------------------------|
e|-----------------------------------|

i play this a few times ( if you have another guitarist he can play B and

E power chords with the bass line), let the bass notes ring.

e|--------------------------------------|
b|---5-3-5-------------5-3-5------------|
g|---------2-4-2-4-2---------2-4-2-4-2--|
d|--------------------------------------|
a|-2------------------------------------|
e|-------------------0------------------|

the n for the main bit i play

e|--------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------------|
g|-4---9-7-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--9-7---------------------|
d|-4---9-7-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--9-7---------------------|
a|-2---7-5-2--2-0-2-0--2-2--7-5---------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------|

for the break .."evvvvrrry daaaay i'm dumping the bodys.."

play a D barr chord tat the 5th frett then a E barr chord at the 7th

listen to the song a few times to get the rythm right these should be the

chords if not the right rythm i can't seem to find my copy of the tape.

zach.

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
