"Down Together" - The Refreshments (from the album "Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy", 1996) Tabbed by Des McKinney --------------------------------------------------- All the lead guitar parts are listed first (there're a bunch of them for this song). If you're playing it by yerself, just ignore all the riffs here, and go with the chords listed below with the lyrics (Chord chart at end). For the most part, it's just bar-chords.

way we'd be even E F#m A And I could sing this song way out of tune B And not care a bit about it RIFF2 E F#m A We could both wear cowboy hats, and pretend B that we could speak Italian E F#m A I could eat some gum, and make my breath B(W/ RIFF3) so minty fresh to kiss you E F#m A Your breath will smell like wine, I like that a lot B Especially when I kiss you E F#m A And I could hit my funny bone real hard B And you could call me sweatheart F#m A E B And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun A(w/ RIFF4) B Never thought much about individuals But he's dead anyways E F#m A B Lets

together, down together Yeah let's go RIFF1 RIFF2 E F#m A We could all wear ripped up clothes and pretend B that we're Dead Hot Workshop E F#m A I could drive a long long way and not even have B(w/ RIFF5) the gas to make it back E F#m A We could chase our shadows around the lawn B Until we're both exhausted E F#m A 'N I could forget the words here one more time B and hope that no one notices F#m A E B And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun A (w/ RIFF4) B Never thought much about me E C#m Yeah, well what's good for you is good for me A B And what's bad for you is bad for me E C#m

"Down Together" by The Refreshments Since there are currently no tabs for The Refreshments, I figured I would place the first one in the archive. Although I am not a huge fan of The Refreshments, one of my best friends is. And, as a result, I figured this little bit out. I apologize that this is all I have but I do not even own the CD. Maybe if someone else is interested, they could figure out the leads or the changes. Regardless, here is the main riff. ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ -2-2-2-------4-4-4-------7-7-7-------9-9-9------ -2-2-2-------4-4-4-------7-7-7-------9-9-9------ -o-o-o--o-o--2-2-2--2-2--5-5-5--5-5--7-7-7--7-7- ------------------------------------------------ *(A)*********(B5)*********(D5)*********(E5)***** *********************NOTE*********************** As I am sure you already know, these chords are palm muted. However, this might/probably change(s) somewhere in the song but I rest assured that you will know where and when.
