Tabs and lyrics
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Cannonball
The Breeders

Right this is a modified version of Peter Palmer's tab,
which sounds good to me apart from the intro, which is
just way out I think. It doesn't go low enough. So
for this song tune one whole step down. I seem to
remember her barring the 6th fret in the video, which
is what the tab I modified said, but this sounds better
to me.

[Intro]
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|-1/6-6-6-6---1/6-6-6-6---1/7-7-7-7---0-0-0-0-------|

[Verse]
e|--7-7-7-7--------------|
B|--7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9-----|
G|--8-8-8-8--9-9-9-9-----|
D|--9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9-----|
A|--9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-----|
E|--7-7-7-7--------------|

they change this riff during the
song sometimes, with hammer ons
and pull offs instead of slides

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---7/9/7-7/9/7-------------------|
D|----------------7/9/7-7/9/7------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

[Chorus]
e|--7-7-7-7--------------------------x-x---|
B|--7-7-7-7--8-8-8-8-----14-14-14----x-x---|
G|--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8-----14-14-14----x-x---|
D|--9-9-9-9--8-8-8-8-----14-14-14----x-x---|
A|--9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-----12-12-12----x-x---|
E|--7-7-7-7--------------------------x-x---|

At the end of the chorus riff you hit 10
muted strokes quickly.
