----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHITE FLAG - The Mayfield Four ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jon (Scarecrow at abb.net) Tuning: Standard This is my first tab ever and I tried to be as accurate as possible, although sometimes didn't record every repetition of every chord - this tab is more of a guideline. Just to get some Mayfield Four tabs in circulation - and isn't this song amazing?!?!

My interpretation is just that - an interpretation. There are probably more layers that I didn't hear, and there are other ways to play this song. Here isanother progression for the chorus that sounds nice and would be great for an acoustic version of song (although it's not played on the record). e|---0-----------0----0----0----0----0--------------------------------------| B|---0-----------0----0----0----0----2--------------------------------------| G|---9-----------9----8----6----4----2--------------------------------------| D|---x-----------x----x----x----x----2--------------------------------------| A|---7-----------7----6----4----2----0--------------------------------------| E|---0-----------0----0----0----0----0--------------------------------------| | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note
