This tab is completely wrong, I'm sorry man, but try it again and listen very well! It's a crap!

Wally	February 1, 2003, 4:27
Wouldn't it be great If at least one person in the whole frickin world besides joey santago knew the solo to that goddamn song?

Gustavo	February 7, 2003, 15:57

cyberoim	February 11, 2003, 21:31
Yes, its the most faboulous song of the world for me!!!! Hehe

a real musician	March 16, 2003, 23:54
Hey, I agree with jan, this tap is wrong. Learn to play the guitar, and as for the rest of you people, learn to type.

_j_c_v_	March 27, 2003, 3:42
Go easy on the guy, jeez, post the correct tab if you know, instead of flaming the guy, hes obviously a fellow pixie fan.... people are just mean for no good reason at all, its a shame.

a guy who agrees with j_c_v	April 7, 2003, 10:05
Yeah, man, jcv's right, why don't you fill in the right tab or do something useful instead of badmouthing the whole world? it's people like you who make the world such a bad place to live in! And all you're doing by that is preventing people from putting the right tab in, cause they scared that someone will say "ooh look at that crap! what a shitty tab!" Food for thought!

rudy	April 14, 2003, 15:51
okay so everyone likes this song....but is there someone who can give us the right tab of this song?????

galltv�l	May 2, 2003, 12:08
is wrong i think it shuold bee 65 and 55 and 6656

Tyler	May 4, 2003, 15:47
Hi, for me the intro sounds like that: 022100 446654 466544 577655 Try it,it seems to be right. This song is just the BEST!! Enjoy!!!

TiTUsLeTiRAn	May 11, 2003, 22:20
Tyler, you are just my god!! Your tab is so cool! THIS SONG IS THE BEST OF ALL THE ROCK MUSIC OF ALL THE TIME

Tyler,
I think you are 99.99% right with your chords for Where Is My Mind. I've played the progression in root notes on my bass and it sounds spot on. Great work !

One small thing though. The fourth chord in your progression(466544) is an Ab major chord.
This song appears to be in the key of E major. In the key of E major, Ab is the third, which is actually a minor chord, which is (466444) in the same position on a guitar.
Thanks for your posting. It's much harder to figure out the progression by ear like you did, than it it is to point out a minor point of musical theory !

Cheers,

Rob.

Rudy	May 28, 2003, 12:57
TYLER MY MAN!!!! U KICK ASS!!!!!!

jamie (living the apathetic dream)	June 15, 2003, 14:01
An epic thanks to Tyler (Durdan?) and rob from oz (the prison oz?) for the tabs. Keep the good work up, there�ll be a wonderful lazy boy chair at the end the tunnel for you guys! Keep living the dream��

prodigal	July 12, 2003, 0:38
Rob from oz--- i think tyler's right, it is Ab major (or a III). you don't always have to follow the rules in music theory... especially with the pixies.

Tyler	July 13, 2003, 13:16
Hi guys The chords I've found are played during verses and chorus but for the pre-chorus (Way out in the water see it swimmin'...) it's a bit different... something like that: 022100 466544 577655 577555 446664 224442 I actually work on the solo but I'm really not ready... bye (hey, Jamie you do not talk about da fight club..remember)

Tyler	July 13, 2003, 14:02
It's me again I made a mistake; for the pre-chorus it's: 022100 466444 577655 577555 446664 224442 bye.

Here, I don't get Tyler's way of writing his tab. Can someone explain.
Also, I figured out the lyrics(well, almost);

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground,
Try to strip and spit it, (Yeah, Yeah)
You'll have a collapse,
And there's nothing in it,
And you'll ask yourself,
Where is my mind? x3
(Where is my mind)
Waaaay out in the water,
See it swimming.

I was swimming in the Caribean,
Animals were hiding behind the rock,
Except a little fish,
But they told me swish trying to tell me,
So I told them (?)
Where is my mind x3
(Where is my mind)
Way out in the water see it swimming

Repeat first verse.

There ya go.

delirium	April 10, 2004, 1:18
I play this song like this : 779977 446644 466544 577655 etc

May 11, 2004, 6:46

i think these are the correct
lyrics...

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your
head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the
rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your
head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your
head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

Tom with the proper lyrics

December 26, 2005, 6:54

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if theres nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (x3)

Way out in the water

I was swmming in the carribean
All the animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me he swears tryna' talk, tell me the right way

Where is my mind (x3)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet on the air and you head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (x3)

Oooh
With your feet on the air...
Oooh
Try this trick and spin it
