Mr Rabbit Tab

by Paul Westerberg


Mr Rabbit By Paul Westerberg
From The Album: Stereo

This song was tabbed especially for 
you by myself Jesse Jeff Martin, with
help from three [3] beautiful and equally
naked women near Salt Lake City.

Why is there no tabs for this one?
it aint happened yet, aint holdin' my breath

This song is played in Open F# Tuning. 
E  A  D  G  B  E
C# F# C# F# A# C#

Mr Rabbit, Mr Rabbit
Tabbing you was a bitch
Yes bless god but it's almost correct
Every little tab must shine

The only video on youtube for this that I could 
find for awhile was some old dude clucking away 
in the key of C. So thanks in part to him.

The intro and verses are slight variations of
the riff below.

Every little soul must shine

just an idea but a second guitar could compliment
the bit from 'yes bless' on following the melody.
I don't have a guitar on me now so sorry if this 
is sketchy but you should get the idea.

like hold down this F# chord and play the melody
on the A and E strings, not the full riff
you'll see what I mean, if not you'll figure
something out I'm sure. You will need about
a seven fret reach.

..yes bless god has...etc.

I actually like to play that bit open as well 
and fretting the melody on the B and high E string
a little easier on your wrist maybe.

..yes bless god I'm almost dead...etc.

I dont know you're the artist you decide.

Hope somebody likes this, I know I do. I almost wanted
to keep it to myself and maybe I should. Still, I think
this is as close as you're gonna get for free baby.
