Dinosaur Jr. - Said The People
From the album 'Farm' (2009)
Capo 7th fret, standard tuning
---
Interesting note: this song has an indentical chorus to 'Pieces' on the same album (both use
the same chords in the same order, capo'd at 7), just played at different speeds and with
a few small changes. there's even a couple of parts in the solos for both songs,
about 3-4 seconds long, that are used in both songs (the opening of the Pieces solo for example,
makes an appearance in one of the solos here). Freaky! :P
I'm pretty sure the solos were recorded without a capo, so there's one or two short parts where
the notes are below the capo. You'll see it on the tab when it comes to it, but i'll tab both
the original parts, and the same part an octave up so it's playable if you're playing the
song all the way through and want to play it as close as possible.

==intro riff
E|-0~-------------------------------|
B|-1~----1/3\1-----0~---------------|
G|-2~----2/5\2--0--0~---------------| (4th time through, miss out the last 3 notes when leading
D|-2~----2/5\2-----2~---------------| into the verse. also, obviously don't play the first
A|-0~--------------3~---------0---0-| chord after the first time through. common sense, go!)
E|------------------------0-3---3---|
==verse
there's slight variations on this part throughout the song, so feel free to mix it
up a little here.
really light strumming, there's some notes that are almost silent.
E|-----0----------------------1--1---1-1-0------0--0--------0---0--|
B|-1---1-1--------1--1--1-----3--3---3-3--------1--1--------3---3--|
G|-2-------2------0--0-----------2---2-2-------2--------------4----|
D|-2-----------------2------0-------------0h3-----3---3/5--3-------|
A|------------0h3----3---------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
if it makes things easier, here's the chords used, in order
E|---|----|-1-|-0-|-0-|
B|-1-|--1-|-3-|-1-|-3-|
G|-2-|--0-|-2-|-2-|-4-|
D|-2-|--2-|-0-|-3-|-5-|
A|---|--3-|---|---|---|
E|---|----|---|---|---|
lead into the chorus with this:
E|---------0-----------3------|
B|-------1---1-------3---3----|
G|-----2-----------4-------4--|
D|---3-----------5------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
==chorus
it's hard to prescisely tab strum patterns, but this is about right:
since it looks a bit cluttered, the vertical lines seperate chord changes.
E|-0--0----0-0-|----0----0---0-|----3----3---3-|-1--1----1-0---------|
B|-1--1----1-1-|----1----1-1-1-|----0----0-0-0-|-3---3------3-1------|
G|-2----2---2--|-0-----0---0---|-----------0---|-2--------------2-0--|
D|-3----3---3--|-2-----2---2---|-0-----0-------|-0-------------------|
A|-------------|-3-----3-------|-2-----2-------|---------------------|
E|-------------|---------------|-3-----3-------|---------------------|
when the lyrics go to "save me", change the first chord (xx3210) to xx3213,
and the third chord (320003) to 320033 (read in order like EADGBE).
==epic solo (3:05-4:42)

|4:17 - as mentioned above, there's a few notes in this bit that're below the capo.
| i'll tab it an octave up (same notes, higher) so you can keep the capo on during solos and

*collapses*
enjoy! if you learn this all, props to you. let me know if
you find anything horrendously wrong with the tab, but i think
i managed to get it down pretty close.

|p - pull-off
|h - hammer-on
|/ - slide up (\ = down)
|b - bend; release bend before next note, unless...
|r - release bend after holding it for a little
