Peeping Tomboy by Kurt Vile
Peeping Tomboy
Tuning: E A D G B E
**TUNING**
low to high
G-G-D-G-B-D
tune the high E down a whole step to D. tune the low E up 1 1/2 steps to G. tune the A
string down a whole step to G.
the first chord is pretty hard to pick and do the hammer ons/pull offs so it's best to
use sort of a backwards D chord at the 4th fret (if that makes sense) and use your pinky
for the pulls/hammers... something like
E--4--
B--3--
G--4--
D--0--
A--0--
E--X--
intro/verses - he plays something like this the first time, then the second time he
doesn't hit the high E really on the two last chords of the bar - you'll have to listen

go back into the intro from here and it just repeats. this is a pretty rough tab and i'm
positive the picking is not correct but it sounds close to the song. like i've stated
there are a lot of breaks and pauses throughout the song
I don't wanna change but I don't wanna stay the same
I don't wanna go but I'm runnin'
I don't wanna work but I don't wanna sit around
All day frownin'
I don't wanna give up but I kinda wanna lie down
But not sleep just rest
Give me a break, how much does it really take
To get my head outta here?
I been searchin'
I don't know what for
I came across some girl
She was a tom boy
And I was a peepin' tom on that scene
I was a peepin' tom, you know what I mean
I was a, I was a
I was a, I was a
I don't wanna go but it's a one way street with me
So I've been told and I'm goin'
When I'm down, I would never come around
But you should be kind and read my mind
I been searchin'
I don't know what for
She was a tom boy
And I admired her
'Cause I was a peepin' tom on that scene
I was a peepin' tom, you know what I mean
I was a, I was a
I was a, I was a
I don't wanna change but I don't wanna stay the same
I don't wanna go but I'm runnin'
I don't wanna work but I don't wanna sit around
All day frownin'
