IN A JAR - Dinosaur Jr Tabbed by: Garrett Z --- ***Other tabs got the general idea, but had lots of inaccuracies. I thank them for providing a base*** ***I believe this tab to be accurate and comprehensive, but corrections are welcome!*** **Watch live YouTube performances to see that this is how J plays it, and to get the strumming** //Enjoy! --- Verse (open strings under the C power chord for that nice jangle): Figure A: "I'll be grazing by your window... Please come pat me on the head" C G Em B e|--0--|--3--|-----|-----| B|--0--|--0--|-----|--2--| G|--5--|--0--|-----|--4--| D|--5--|--0--|--2--|--4--| A|--3--|--2--|--2--|--2--| E|-----|--3--|--0--|-----| Figure B: "I just want to find out what you're nice to me for" C G Am e|--0--|--3--|--0--| B|--0--|--0--|--1--| G|--5--|--0--|--2--| D|--5--|--0--|--2--| A|--3--|--2--|--0--| E|-----|--3--|-----| Fig.A Fig.B ______________________ Pre-Chorus: Before the change to Am, try lifting off the treble e for a nice transition.

(but it doesn't sound as good).
