Swearing At Motorists

Would you ever guess that this is a name of a band?  I recently bought this amazing album by Swearing At Motorists.  While reading their website, I discovered they are a Philly band.  Many don't remember that I lived in Philly for 2 years. I loved the music and nightlife of the city, I just never had that many friends.  Honestly, I was jealous that all my friends from college were living in NYC together.  I felt like I was missing out on spending time with all of them.  I certainly didn't leave because of the art or music, that's for sure.  Philly has one of the freshest rock sounds I've heard in a long time.

Most importantly, I've gotten a terrible itch for one song off the album: Lost Your Wig.  The whole rock album is a very dark, almost folk rock at times, but this song digs even deeper and more spare.  The melody and lyrics have a way of reminding you of some of the best -- and worst -- times you've ever had.  It's a rare song that draw on both of those memories at once.  The lead singer has a powerful, soulful voice that makes each note echo far past the actual sound.

The song moved me so much that I've spent time learning it by ear.  I think I've got most of it, but the verses at the end have confounded me.  So I've sent an email to the band to see if they can reward my efforts (I transcribed the lyrics to add to their collection) with the guitar tab for the song. 

I'll let you know how it goes. Buy the album.  It's really worth it. (No, I won't copy it for you.)

I love this album and I was trying to play Lost your Wig on the guitar the other day. You have tabbed it out? Can't find it on the link you included for the lyrics, any help would be greatly apprecitated.

This is an amazing album, the whole thing was recorded on the road!

But if you could please email me that tab I would be extremely thankful.
