“New Slang” by The Shins
Tabbed by Nell (BruceyLucy1@aol.com) - http://nellmedia.com/mercer

This tab is taken from the version written out by scott.putman@wmich.edu on olga.net - I just changed the notation because I found the strum pattern tablature distracting and thought it would be quicker to read just as chords. I personally prefer to learn the strum pattern by ear. I also wrote out the order and lengths of the verses and choruses. I'll try and get the solo tabbed some day.

hold on C till verse:

Am                       C                    F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
          C            G
Were all in my mouth
        C                   F                    Am  G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear     x2

G                                        C        F     C                 G
And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind
                                        C
Well I'd 'a jumped from my tree
       F        C                       F                C
And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores
              F               C                     G
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well

Verse 2
Chorus

F   C   F   C   G   C   G   C   F
F   C   F   C   G   C   Am   G   C

Verse 3 (half as long)

G                               C
I'm lookin' in on the good life I might be 
F                C           G
   Doomed never to find
                                        C
Without a trust or flaming fields am I
F       C              G
  Too dumb to refine
                                      C
And if you'd 'a took to me like
         F        C                       F                   C
Well I'd 'a danced like the queen of the eyesores
              F               C                     G
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well

F   C   F   C   G   C   G   C   F
F   C   F   C   G   C   Am   G   C

Am   C   F   C   G   C  Am   G     x2

End on C
