Artist: BIG STAR | Title: my life is right

Check this random guitar tabs:


Tablature is mostly (but not exclusively) seen for reticulate stringed instruments, in which environment it is commonly titled journalism for brief (except for lute tablature).
It is ofttimes utilised for the guitar, bass, lute, archlute, theorbo, angélique, mandora, gallichon, and vihuela, but in generalisation it crapper be utilised for some reticulate instrument, including ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and viola da gamba, as substantially as some liberated wood aerophones much as the harmonica.

Subject: CRD: "My Life Is Right" (Big Star)

And here we have another great unknown pop gem from the band whose
entire career was based on obscurity. Notes:

1) The Eb in the verses isn't realy a chord, it's just a walkup note.
    All you have to do is play the 1st fret on the D string. That's
    it. I'd put it in TAB, but it'd be lonely, since it's the only
    bit in that area that requires it. So just remember: Eb=1st fret,
    D string. Got it? Good.
2) There is some very cool acoustic 12-string guitar stuff going on
    underneath the "You give me light" part, but I can't get it
    exactly. Here is a rough approximation:

    E---------------|---0----|-----------------|-----
    B---------------|---2----|-----------------|-----
    G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2----|-4p2p0---------2-|-(2)-
    D-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-|--------|-------4p2p0---2-|-(2)-
    A-0-0-0-3h4-----|--------|-------------3p0-|-(0)-
    E---------------|--------|-----------------|-----
      q e e e e e e   e q.^h   e3e3e e3e3e q q   (w)

    This isn't exact, and that's last bit sounds like "Unskinny Bop"
    by Poison (yeah, I know, it's really "I Know A Little" by
    Skynyrd), so I don't like it. But this is as good as I can do
    with this bit.
3) "My life's fun is wild?" Bell didn't really say that, did he?
    Well, it's the best *I* can do with it. Any better suggestions are
    welcome.
4) There is a piano in here, mostly doing the chords.
5) The vocal harmonies are a large part of this (and almost every Big
    Star) song. The most amazing bit comes during the "So right" part.
    The backing vox (singing "right") go from G to F# over the G-D
    change, and then they go back up from F# to G over the D-A
    change, making the A chord an amazing dominant 7th. This is, of
    course, a very basic expanation of what is going on here. I'm
    sure it's a lot more complicated, but this'll get you started.
