TAB and Notes

This song is three instruments, Jeff on acoustic, Brian Henneman on
banjo, and Peter Buck on feedback (doing an impressive
impersonation of a slide guitar and volume pedal, gotta love that man)

Part 1:
Hold an A chord and use the following bassline. Listen to the record
for the rhythm, or say (out loud now) "one-ee-and-a" as fast as
possible, and that's your rhythm. Jeff fingers his A 3-1-2 across the
second fret (top to bottom), using his middle finger (2) to fret the
bassline (Saw Wilco do this song last November, incredible of course).
I personally prefer 4-3-2, fingering the bass with my middle finger
as well; experiment so your hands don't hate you.

d-------------0----------------------0------
a--0------0h2-----------0-------0h2---------
E------0---------2-----------0----------2---

Part 2:
As above in Part 1, keep playing the A chord as much as possible
while keeping the following bassline going on the downbeats.

d-----------0-----------------0-------
a------0h2-2------------0h2-2---------
E-------------------------------------

Part 3:
It helps to only play the a and c# (g and b strings) during this part.
Same as above, you know how it sounds. Bass notes on each beat.

d---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2------------
a------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------

d----------------------------------------------------2-------
a---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2------2--(0)------
E------------------------------------------------------------

Part 4:
It's a D chord. Banjo plays melody that is tabbed below for guitar,
try and do both together.

e-------2--0-------------------------2--0---------------------
b----3--------3--2h3-------0-2h3----------3-------------------
g-----------------------2-------------------------------------

Intro:
These are sixteenth notes, you basically pick all three bass strings at
the same time, and mute the a string while fretting what is below.
