I Feel Like Going Home

Artist: Yo La Tengo
Album: I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Song: I Feel Like Going Home

Tuning: Standard

One of the quieter songs off of I Am Not Afraid of You..., this song is played in a 
combination of notes and chords.

Intro (the first bar):

       G
|e-----3-3-3-------|
|B-----3-3-3-------|
|G-----0-0-0-------|
|D---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|A-----2-2-2-------|
|E-----3-3-3-------|

Main rhythm of the song:

     G         G         G         G
|e---3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-------|
|B---3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-------|
|G---0-0-0-----0-0-0-----0-0-0-----0-0-0-------|   (Same pattern until
|D---0-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-2-0---|    "chorus")
|A---2-2-2-----2-2-2-----2-2-2-----2-2-2-------|
|E---3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-------|

     Calls me to the ocean, takes me wandering through the street,
     Restless imagination...

"Chorus":

         D         G         G
|e-------2-2-2-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-------|
|B-------3-3-3-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-------|
|G-----2-2-2-2-2---0-0-0-----0-0-0-------|  (Continue playing main rhythm)
|D---0---0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-2-0---|
|A-------x-x-x-----2-2-2-----2-2-2-------|
|E-------x-x-x-----3-3-3-----3-3-3-------|

     But for now, I want my feet on the ground,
     'Cause I feel like going home

I can float above the ceiling, I like drifting through the air,
Tend to lose my concentration...

But right now, the clouds don't appeal too much
I feel like going home

Bridge:

          D                            D
Sometimes late at night, while running from the rain,
        G                       G
Running from the voices filling up my brain
      C                           G
How I wish they'd leave me alone
           D                  G
And let me be to go off on my own,
       C        G
Let me be to go home,
G
I feel like going home


The outro is a little weird; it's basically a repetition of the same melody on the 
guitar. Here's my best shot at tabbing this melody:

|e-------------------------|
|B---3-3---3-5---3---5-3---|
|G---4-3---4-5---4---5-4---|
|D-------------------------|
|A-------------------------|
|E-------------------------|

Thanks! Hope this tab helped.
