hello once more,

Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the

Modern Lovers' 1976 album, *The Modern Lovers.*

I would be extremely interested in hearing from

anybody with corrections, comments, etc.

Thanks,

Pablo Picasso

Some people might be familiar with this song from the *REPO MAN*

soundtrack. The modern Lovers didn't do the version played in the

picture, but it is their song.

This song has only one chord, which makes it a bit easy to play. The

basic riff is an E chord (an Em, I think) with a G bass note on the

third beat. This is played over and over throughout the entire song.

It goes like this:

Em (?)

e-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------

B-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------

G-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------

D-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-REPEAT-AD-INFINITUM---

A-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-2-2-2-2--|-----------------------

E-0-0-3-0--|-0-0-3-0--|-0-0-3-0--|-----------------------

To be honest, I can not tell whether that is an E or an E minor, but I

like the sound of the E minor better. Your call . . .

The solos are in E, and consist of a lot of E's. Try the E minor

pentatonic scale on the twelfth fret.

Here are the lyrics, with the chord:

Em (see riff above)

Well some people try to pick up girls

And get called assholes

This never happened to Pablo Picasso

He could walk down your street

And girls could not resist his stare and

So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Well the girls would turn the color

Of the avacado when he would drive

Down their street in his El Dorado

He could walk down you street

And girls could not resist his stare

Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole

Not like you

Alright

Well he was only 5'3"

But girls could not resist his stare

Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole

Not in New York

Oh well be not schmuck, be not abnoxious,

Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole

Remember the story of Pablo Picasso

He could walk down your street

And girls could not resist his stare

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Alright this is it

Some people try to pick up girls

And they get called an asshole

This never happened to Pablo Picasso

He could walk down your street

And girls could not resist his stare and so

Pablo Picasso was never called...
