Does anyone know the chords or tabs to any Features songs?

This sounds pathetic, but I know how to play most of the Features songs from going to so many shows. The guitar parts are all fairly simple but cleverly written. I don't really know how I would go about sharing that information though.

Okay, here's Thursday first.

The little 'riff' that's used so much in the song is just

A--6-6-7-6-6-6-7-6-6-6-7----1-1-2-1-1-1-2---6-6-7-6
E--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----2-2-2-2-2-2-2---7-7-7-7

This is not the exact number of times, etc, but those are the notes of the riff.  You can figure out the strum pattern, I think.

The chorus is just:
           E
LaDaDaDa
           B
LaDaDaDa
       F#
LaDaDaaaaaaa
           B
LaDaDaDa

This is basically the entire song.

33 1/3

The basic chords of the verses are G-C-Am-C
The intro is Matt playing these as open chords further up the neck.  The intro chords are:
  G    C      Am  C
E X    O      O   O
B O     O     13   O
G O    O     14   O
D O    14   14  14
A 14   15    O   15
E 15    X     X     X

After 2 times of doing that, the band comes in and the chords are played in normal position back down the neck.  The chords for the verses are, I repeatL

G-C-Am-C

The prechorus is:
     Am                      G                            D
But surely, that is untrue, what would I do
           Am                          G                      
See my girlfriend, loves my LPs,
D
more than she loves me
The chorus:
               G              C    
So with a speed of 33
Am C
and one third I will be
          G               C
With a speed of 33
Am C
and one third I will be
     Am
The happiest person
      G
The happiest person
     Am
The happiest person
     C                                   G     C   Am  C  repeat
The happiest person that I know_______

Some of this, i think is arpeggios involving the bass strings.
Anyway, ghostflower, I hope this helps.  I know roadie knows 33 1/3, so maybe if I'm wrong he can correst me.

You know you have problems, with both money and alcohol, when you find yourself shoving beers down your pants outside a Features show.

lawnwrangler, you're great at guitar. You remind me of a young Thurston Moore. You just need to get a guitar that doesn't suck quite so bad.

yeah, the brief period of time i heard you playing a six-stringed guitar, or even five for that matter, sounded great. who would've thought ms. carroll and the wrangler could switch positions and be so successful? more power to you.

If I am as familiar with the Sneaky Eaters' catalog as I think I am, I think that what Ben Patton played on the recording of that song was quite different from what was played live. I don't know how to play either.
