Happy Bivouac

Song: Happy Bivouac Album: Happy Bivouac Artist: The Pillows Very catchy chord progressions which include a few half-step ups and downs and a major minor chord (I don't know how to explain this but you'll see). It sounds like they have 3 guitars (with 2 leads). To be sure, just listen to the song and you'll get the whole tab. Intro Riff 1: Guitar 1(lead) e|--------------------------------------| b|------------------------------7--7----| g|--------------7-6-7-9~~~6~~---9b-9b---| d|--------7-6-7-9-7-9-11~~7~~-----------| a|--------9-8-9-------------------------| e|--------------------------------------| Guitar 2 (another lead using octave chords) e|----------------------------------------| b|-----------------12-10-12-14-10--7--7---| g|--------11-10-11-----------------9b-9b--| d|-----------------9--7--9--11-7----------| a|--------9--8--9-------------------------| e|----------------------------------------| Guitar 3 (Rhythm...you can do normal chords D-Db-D-A-Bb-A-G-Bm-A--Bm-F#m) e|--------------------------------------| b|--------------------------------------| g|--------------------------------------| d|--------7-6-7-----------------4-------| a|--------5-4-5-7-8-7-5-7-9-77--2--4----| e|--------------5-6-5-3-5-7-55-----2----| Intro Riff 2: Guitar 1 e|--------------------------------------------| b|------------------------------------10--8---| g|----------------9--9--------7-9p7-----------| d|---/9-9-9p7-----11-11----/9-------9-7---5---| a|------------10------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------| Guitar 2 e|--------------------------------------------| b|---8-----------10-10-----12---------10--8---| g|--------------------------------------------| d|---5-----------7--7------9----------7---5---| a|--------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------| Guitar 3 (this tab's gonna be long so to cut it short use these bar chords) (G--A----G--A-G-) Make sure you listen so that you could follow these chords.
