NOTES:
1.  “…How long were they supposed to wait? Ten years after the Pixies launched their reincarnation as 
a touring band, they've cranked out a new album – exactly what fans praised them for not doing back 
in 2004. It might seem like sacrilege, especially without the much-missed sass of Kim Deal, but that 
depends on how mystical you want to get about a band as pop as the Pixies. …”

2.  This version was written with predominantly open chords and in standard tuning, for greater accessibility.
