Pinch Me Tab

                             Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Eric Gonzalez

Tuning: Standard
 
So pretty much all of the Pinch Me tabs (intros) I have seen are pretty far
off, so after searching numerous places, this is the collaboration I have made.
I think its pretty close. Play it kinda slow, timing is the hardest part. Listen
to the song. Theres a lot of potential improv to be done between the notes, as
you will hear in the actual song/live performances.
