Biography:
Pedro the Lion is an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington. David Bazan formed the band in 1995 and represented its main creative force, backed by a varying rotation of collaborating musicians. After a shifting lineup, Pedro the Lion finally eventually became a one-man outfit. That man is David Bazan. A Seattle native, Bazan cut his teeth playing in hardcore bands before forming Pedro in 1995, taking the band's name from a character he made up for a possible children's book.

PEDRO THE LION: FEWER BROKEN PIECES
TABBED BY: STEVEN HUMPHREYS
A fantastic song by david bazan about his breakup with the band pedro the lion. It's
personal, but evne though its SO incredibly specific to himself, it still somehow manages
apply to everyone who hears it somehow. It's amazing. I haven't found a single tab
for this song after searching for about half an hour I decided to just figure out the
myself. A beautiful song to play at a show.
NOTE: I don't know many chord names, so when I say "Fm" it means the F barre chord on
1st fret
STANDARD TUNING---CAPO ON 3RD
VERSE 1:
C F Am Em
If you make a reference to some trouble, that you know
Fm G C
Can it help you keep it under control?
E Am Em
Or should I really re---consider
Fm C
My reasons for going solo
Dm Em G
David byrne on Bob Costas, puts it pretty well
G (moved 1 fret up the fretboard)
But I put it better
CHORUS:
Am C F
I still run the show
F C G
Don't you forget it
A C F
So I had to let some go
C G
Don't think I don't regret it
Am C F C G
Cause I do and I don't think I'm better off alone
INTERLUDE
F G
Man I could have, had a, big sound
F G
But I love to, let my, friends down
VERSE 2
F C Dm Em Am
Fewer moving parts means fewer broken Pieces
F C Dm Em G
When every other start requires a brand new theosis
F C G(moved up 1 fret)
One good friend remarks with a rightfully angry:
Am C Fm C
"Jesus dude! None of us know what to do with you"
Dm Em
To which I in my pride responded
G
"I've got news for you:
G(moved up 1 fret)
None of you have to, cause"
(play chorus again)
