From: malk 
Subject: "Little Pink Stars" by Radish

O.k. this is a possible transcription of Radish's first single.
(quotes with * around them are here purely to make this transcription
fit in with all the rest of the kiegh in OLGA)
*This is my first attempt at anything so don't hate me.*

SONG: Little Pink Stars
ALBUM: Restraining Bolt
ARTIST: Ben Kweller (Radish)
TABULATURE: Eddie Campbell (Vestibule)

Intro / Chorus:
E5 C#5 D5 A5

Verse:
This is just a picked version of the intro with a G5 at the end....
(Ben uses a fancy delay(?) pedal but it sounds ok if you pick it like
this if you're like me and are poor.)

e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|-----------6----6-------------|
D|----2-----6-6-6---6----7----5-|
A|--2---2--6---4-------7----5---|
E|-0------4----------5----3-----|
      E5    C#5  D5   A5    G5

(does that look too crammed together. *Oh, well you get the picture.*)

Bridge:
(This pops in between the verse and chorus.)
D5 C5

Solo:
*The best of luck to you.*

this comes moderately close (those are meant to be full bends on the
number 15's. H is a hammeron. P to pulloff.)

Lyrics:

Barefoot in the sand,
Wishing God would lend a hand,
Wave after wave comes crashing down,
Washing away a little more ground.

Seems to me that's how things are,
Giving and taking "Little Pink Stars"

What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you,
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to feel you from the inside,
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you,
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you.

Walking along with the ocean at my heels,
Loving the way the water feels,
Up in the sky something catches my eye,
As bright as a star in the northern sky.

Seems to me that's how things are,
Giving and taking "Little Pink Stars"

What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you - yey yeah
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to feel you from the inside,
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you,
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you.

[solo]

Seems to me that's how things are,
Giving and taking "Little Pink Stars"

What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you - yey yeah
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to feel you from the inside,
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you, -yey yeah
What a world - you know that you might,
I want to touch you.

I want to touch...

yey yeah

yey yeah

laaaaaaaagh

yey yeah

ha ah ha ah ha ah

yey yeah
