This is just meant to be a supplement to the already existing file at OLGA.
I figured out a few more of the guitar parts including the little solo thing
that Gordon does near the end. Granted, neither part that I'm posting is
that difficult to play but It's not any less difficult than the already
existing file,either. Have fun with it,regardless.

                     "Gimme The Car"(G.Gano)

performed by violent femmes on "violent femmes"(1983)
supplemental guitar parts transcribed by Bryson Meunier
many thanks to the poster of the original chord file

At the very end of the intro the guitar stops playing chords and plays
something like this:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/violent_femmes/gimme_the_car_tab.html ]
   E--------------------------------------------|
   B--------------------------------------------|
   G--2b-r---2b--r----2b\\\--(19)*slide back up*|
   D--------------------------------------------|
   A--------------------------------------------|
   E--------------------------------------------|

After the "burning inside is making this boy turn out cold" part, play this:

   E-------------------------------------------|
   B-------------------------------2-----------|
   G-------------------------------2-----------|
   D---2--3--2--3--2--3--2--3--2---2-----------|
   A-------------------------------0-----------|
   E-------------------------------------------|

After Gordon says "so much he don't understand, just might never make it to
a man" play this little solo thing:

   E------------------------------------------|
   B--------------------------------------0---|
   G-----------------------2-----------0--0---|
   D---2-2--0--------------2--0--------0--0---|
   A-----------3-3--0---0--------3--3--0------|
   E------------------------------------------|
     hold,then slide
   E------------------------------------------|
   B--2\--(15)--------------------------------|
   G--2\--(15)--------------------2\(12)------|
   D--2\--(15)---------0----------2\(12)------|
   A-------------0--3-----0---0-----------0--3|
   E------------------------------------------|

   E------------------------------------------|
   B-----------2--2---------------------------|
   G-----------2--2---------------------------|
   D-----0-----2--2---------------------------|
   A--3-----0--0--0---------------------------|
   E------------------------------------------|

That's about all that I was able to figure out. Nonetheless, it does supply
most of the remaining guitar parts to the song. If you know any more, please
don't hesitate to post. Send any questions, comments or corrections to
