Transport Is Arranged Tab

by Pavement



Here’s a simpler way to play this great song.  With the capo I find it 
easy to approximate the picking just by guessing.  But if you want
the actual semi random picking patterns see the guitar pro file.

One tiny flaw in capoing this is that the D chord (actually F#) should 
be played below the 4th fret to sound exactly like the album.
So to give it a lower sound I throw the bass A in there.  The other 
weird chords are below too. I tried my best with the chord names,
but I’m no music professor.  Let me know if you have any corrections.

   You better find your way out
                        
You better learn how to run
                
You better walk a-way
                       
And leave the angles for the shills
                  +           
   Well I've been thinkin' for days
                        
About the means and the ways
                   
That I could hate all I touch
            
I know you're my lady

                   
But I could trickle, I could flood
                   
A voice coach taught me to sing
                        
He couldn't teach me to love
        
All the above

Easy talkin', border blockin'

   Praise the grammar police
                    
Set me up with your niece
          
Walk to Baltimore
                         
And keep the language off the street
               +      
   Well I'm of several minds
                     
I am the worst of my kind
                  
I wanna cremate the crutch
             
I know you're my lady
    
But phone calls could corrupt the mornin'
  
I heed the surgeon's warnin'
           
Pillars of eights

             +     
   I swung my fiery sword
                        
I vent my spleen at the Lord
                
He is abstract and bored
                   
Too much a milk and honey
     
Well I'll waltz
                            
Through the wilderness with nothin'
                    
But a compass and a canteen
            
Settin' the scenes
