Modest Mouse - The View

Tabbed by Jamie Couture residue06@hotmail.com or couture@cs.mun.ca

I hope no one by the name of MattM steals this tab like he stole my tab for

Head South. Plagiarists like him only show how much he must suck at guitar

since he couldn't figure it out before me.

If anyone feels I've made a mistake, or there is something more accurate than

what I have, please let me know so I may consider a revision and I will give you

credit for it, unlike some people.

The verse was the hardest thing for me to figure out. I have several

ways you could play this, however, whether or not they are accurate is

a different story. The one I felt was most accurate is in this tab.

talking about.

** hammer on and off this part. I used slide / instead of writing a bunch

of "h's" and "ho's" it looks cleaner this way. **

Variation For CHORUS:

Guitar one for the chorus could also be played:

C D E F

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|------------------------------------------------------------------------

G|--5---------7---------1---------2---------------------------------------

D|--5---------7---------2---------3---------------------------------------

A|--3---------5---------2---------3---------------------------------------

E|-(3)-------(5)--------0---------1---------------------------------------

However, this isn't what is played in the song - it only sounds like a deeper

E and F because of the bass, which actually plays the lower octave.
