Pike St. - Park Slope
guitar tabs lyrics
Hey, this is the Harvey Danger Cover off of Album Minus Band, I've never heard
Harvey Dangers version of it so I can't say how accurate it is to that, but I
think I've figured out a general framework for the song by BTMI
Again, as with "this is a singalong," I'm transcribing these on an acoustic
guitar to play by myself, so there's lots of layering that's going on in the
song that I'm not really interested in because I only have one instrument to
play. So if ur planning on using this in a band you may want to have a go at
it yourself.
Here goes...
Intro: (this riff is awesome btw, I know it looks weird in the 4th measure but it works)

Drive across the country, tell your story walking.
No one's keeping you captive in the town that let you down (so sorry).
Blame it on the television, blame it on the company;
Don't blame it on the fundamental fact that no one owes you something.
"I've come about my share, i only want what's fair.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not greedy.
Like everybody else, i wanna pay my dues.
(I only want someone to tell me who to make the check out to.)
