Pears

This song is on Grown Ups' only LP, released in 2010 from Topshelf Records. This song 
starts out in thekey of G,
relative to the tuning. There is no live footage that allows you to see any guitars clearly.
Request a Grown Ups song in the comments and I can tab it. I'm going to tab most of them eventually but
I can prioritize. Some of the chords are hard to hear exactly what they are playing.
To learn Grown Ups' songs listen with only 1 headphone in.

Difficulty: Intermediate. Only a few parts are hard.

Guitar 1 (left guitar)
Make as much feedback as possible while starting to play this 8x. The drums and bass make it sound
different but the guitar is the same during "come on, I swear!"


Guitar 1 plays this.

If you only have one guitar, add the notes guitar 2 plays on the G string- forming a 
G/B, a F#/D and D/B. In
such a case play this six times. Tabbed as

This 15/0 chord on the B/G strings is hit on each 1/4 note for 4 measures. The third is not in there.
If you don't like the tone the same notes can be played on the B string (sliding down from 12) and
it sounds good.

"I'm bitter at best"
These chords- not sure about them but you CAN here a note go from B to A to G, and a G to F# to G. It
also sounds like a D in each chord. It sort of sounds like there is a B in each chord as well. If
not, then it makes the chord progression a simple G-D-G, which wouldn't have to be tabbed here.

The arpegio is done twice. The notes are there but if you find a different fretting easier then go
