Modest Mouse - You're the Good Things
Tabbed by Austin Smith

This is a pretty cool song that I just decided to do one night.  Do correct me if I am wrong.  I didn't get exactly all of it, but most of it is just branches from the first part I believe.

Intro/Verse

E --------------------x-----
B --------------------x-----
G --------------------x-----
D --------------------9-----
A --9-7-5-7/10--9-7---7-----
E --------------------x-----

On the slide, slide it then hold and then hit the 10 before going to 9 and 7.  Listen to the song and play along and you will get it.

Before the chorus he plays just the 1 then 2 then start at 1.
Chorus (Listen to CD for Strum Pattern/Changes)
Shouldn't be hard

E ---------------
B ---------------
G ---------------
D --9--11--7-----
A --7--9---5-----
E ---------------
1 2  3

whenever he is saying you're the good things its this.
   1    2    1    3
You're the good things

Then back to the intro/verse
For the fast part when hes yelling

E ------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------------------
D --13--13-14-15-13-15-12---13--------------------
A --11----------------------11-11-10-9-11-9-12----
E ------------------------------------------------


I don't know what is before this very ending, but its just some strum of the chorus chord shapes above would be my guess.
Then this at the very very end


E ---------
B ---------
G ---------
D --12b-7b-
A ---------
E ---------


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



I think it sounds better like this

A ---9--6--4/9---9----6

------------
-4-----------
-4-----------
-2-----------
-4-----------
------------

and the chorus

--------------------
--------------------
-6-/--9--/--6--/--4---------
-6-/--9--/--6--/--4---------
-4-/--7--/--4--/--2--------- repeat
---------------------


that's all the changes I can think of. I don't know the fast part at the
end.
