No Anthems Chords
Key of Dm 
The guitar should be tuned down one half-step for this version. If you wish not to change tunings, you can 
simply transpose the song down one half-step (-1) and play in the key of C#m. 
Ideally, Dm and Am should be barred on the 5th fret, while C and G should be barred on the 3rd. 
If A is played on the 5th fret, Bb must be played on the 6th. If A is open, Bb must be pled on the 1st fret.
Carries Brownstein uses one riff to transition within the verses that goes |-3-3-3--6-5-3--|. I tend to play 
it on the high E-string, though I believe she varies that much more. That's all I could ID of tab. 
Another way of transitioning following a Gm section is to quickly play Bb Am Gm or Bbm Am Gm. (This Bb must 
be played on the 6th fret.) The same principle works following Dm by playing F Em Dm or Fm Em Dm. Unless you
are playing the entire song with primarily open chords, F/Fm should be played on the 8th fret and Em on the 
7th fret.  
G5addC#: 3x563x or x5563x or xx563x. This chord is optional; it's just an accent achieved by placing your 
pinky on the 6th fret of the G-string. 
GmI'm the low hiss telling you something's amiss
When you hear the sound.
GmI'm the whisper, I can do it better
When I look around.
DmI'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf

GmThere is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock
I really get around.

No Anthems Chords

Key of Dm

The guitar should be tuned down one half-step for this version. If you wish not to change tunings, you can

simply transpose the song down one half-step (-1) and play in the key of C#m.

Ideally, Dm and Am should be barred on the 5th fret, while C and G should be barred on the 3rd.

If A is played on the 5th fret, Bb must be played on the 6th. If A is open, Bb must be pled on the 1st fret.

Carries Brownstein uses one riff to transition within the verses that goes |-3-3-3--6-5-3--|. I tend to play

it on the high E-string, though I believe she varies that much more. That's all I could ID of tab.

Another way of transitioning following a Gm section is to quickly play Bb Am Gm or Bbm Am Gm. (This Bb must

be played on the 6th fret.) The same principle works following Dm by playing F Em Dm or Fm Em Dm. Unless you

are playing the entire song with primarily open chords, F/Fm should be played on the 8th fret and Em on the

7th fret.

G5addC#: 3x563x or x5563x or xx563x. This chord is optional; it's just an accent achieved by placing your

pinky on the 6th fret of the G-string.

I'm the low hiss telling you something's amiss

When you hear the sound.

I'm the whisper, I can do it better

When I look around.

I'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf

You should really look down.

There is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock

I really get around.
