Artist: They Might Be Giants Song: "Answer" Key of D 2015 Expounded on the tab over at TMBW because I feel like the bass motion in the song adds a lot to the pre-chorus/chorus. I'd play that G/E as just an Em7 (020033). Also that D/B is basically a Bm, as seen in the chorus, but I play it as a Bm6 (x20032). Hit the bass note twice and then hit the chord (1 + 2 3 + 4) to get the effect of that motion in the prechorus. VERSE
