Modest Mouse - Polar Opposites

I am almost positive this is correct.  I finally found
a live version that the guitar is easy to hear in the
beginning, but no so much in the chorus etc.  If you want the live version Dl if off me through DirectConnect.
My name is cool_guy546  I don't know the rest, but the verses I got.

Intro to Live version (1x)

E -----------------------------------
B -----------------------------------
G -------------9---------7-----------
D -----7-9---9-7-9---9-7-5---7-9-7---
A -7-7-5-7---7---7---7-5-----5-7-5---
E -5-5-------------------------------

The Difference in verse is no pause
and a slight change.

E ------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------
G -------------9---7-----------------
D -----7-9---9-7-9-5-9-7-9---7-9-7----
A -7-7-5-7---7---7---7-5-7---5-7-5----
E -5-5--------------------------------

Note *ALL of this is PALM MUTED*
you play that by resting your palm 
while strumming on the strings.  
Giving it that slight sound.

As for the chorus and ending etc etc etc,
I was hoping some of you better guitar players
could get that.  I have only been playing 8
months and some tabs I have posted here
probably have been wrong.  Even I have been 
messing later and found a change I could/should
have made.  Yet, hopefully there wrong enough 
to motivate some people to do it right.  Hope
this is right, at this point in time.  Seems to
me it is.


********************************

Riff 1 - Play this six times (the slide at the end of
the riffs aren't too exact. Just slide down.)
G--------------------9---7----------------9\7----
D------------7---------------9---7---7-----------
A----5--5----------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------


 Riff 2 - "I'm tryin'..."
Play this four times
G--------------------------------------------9\7-
D------------7--7--7/9-------------12---12-------
A----5--5----------------10--10------------------
E------------------------------------------------


Play "Riff 1" six times

Play "Riff 2" four times

Riff 3 - Play two times

G-------7--------------9--7-------------------------
D-----------7---7--9---------9--7---7---------------
A----5---------------------------------9(slide back)
E---------------------------------------------------


Riff 4 - Play four times (a few of the times he strums
each of the notes instead of plucking them for this
one but you have to listen for that)

G----7-------------------12------------------
D--------7-------7------------12--------12---
A------------5---------------------10--------
E--------------------------------------------


Play "Riff 3" twelve times (on the last two times
times he leaves out the second two notes and just
holds the first note longer)

End on "A"(3rd) string 5th fret.

The chorus part is pretty similar, but I can't for the life of me figure it
out.Ý I'm pretty bad at this stuff, really, but I'm sure enough that this part
is right--I watched eric J. play it a couple of nights ago.
