I know there have been half a dozen threads over the tabs and chords for xiu xiu songs, but I was thinking maybe we could all put them in one convinient thread, maybe with a nice ToC on the main post so people won't have to go through pages.
great idea... feel free to add onto this thread if you find/work out any tabs/chords... and if you find corrections, let me know...

Fabulous Muscles"Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles Tabbed by Jack Jutson Hi kids. I assume that if you have found this tab, it's because you know who Xiu Xiu us already. This song is from the album 'Fabulous Muscles'. www.killrockstars.com/bands/factsheets/xiuxiu/The song is made up of three very complex chords: C X32010 Em 022000 G 320033 so watch out! Capo is on the third fret so if you want to play this tab without the capo, bring everything down three. Simple!" "The song is made up of three very complex chords:" ...sarcasm and why it doesn't work as well with the internet the full tab has all the chord changes matched up with lyrics at: www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/x/xiu_xiu/fabulous_muscles_crd.htm

Posted by guest user Isra: 20000 Deaths for Eidelyn Gonzalez & ALE
"i've been busy, but im back with new songs, hope this helps someone:
20000 Deaths for Eidelyn Gonzalez... The acoustic version from Life & Live, the first one.
here is waht i've figured out
E:------------------------------------------ B:------------------------------------------ G:------3-----3-----3-----1----------------- D:---------------------------4-----3-----4-- A:---4-----4-----3-----3--------1-----1----- e:------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------ B:------------------------------------------ G:------3-----3-----3--------1-------------- D:------------------------4--------3-----(3) A:---4-----4-----3-----3--------1-----1----- e:------------------------------------------
That's pretty close the whole song, just mess around the 5th string for the verses and for the chorus
ALE
Im quite sure about the fingering. Maybe another Key.
E:---------7-3--------7-7----------------------------- B:--5----------5----------------------------3--5--5--- G:-----5-4--------5-4--------5-4-2-4----4-5----------- D:---------------------------------------------------- A:--3----------3----------------------------------3--- e:------------------------5----------3----------------
i've just figured out the intro part, i hope someone helps me out with the verses and stuff
hope it helps. "

"hey, i've been figuring out some Xiu Xiu. I Hope someone help me to complete the tabs, any doubts and opinions are welcome. ________________________ Sad Redux-o-Grapher
This tab is for the live version. I play this song with this two riffs, and the harmonics for the second verse, i haven't figured out some parts of the song, i hope someone helps.
Verse 1 / Chorus Riff
E:-------------------------------------------- B:-------------------------------------------- G:----8----8-------------------------------- D:-------------------------------------------- A:----6----6/3----3---3---3----3\6---- E:---------------------------------------------
right before the second verse, Jamie plays a couple of time the note.
G:----8-----------------8------------------8
Verse 2
E:-------------------------------------------------------- B:-------------------(12)---------------------(12)---- G:-------------------------------------------------------- D:------(12)---------------------(12)----------------- A:-------------------------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------------------------
___________________________ Suha
I have not tabbed the whole song.
the Beginning is something around this.
E:-----------------------------------I B:-----------------------------------I G:-----------------------------------I D:-----------------------------------I A:---------0--0--0--0--0--0-------I E:---------8--8--8--8--8--8-------I
then something change before the chorus.
for the chorus I play this:
E:-----x-x------------x-------------------------------------x-x---------------------------I B:-----x-x------------x-------------------------------------x-x---------------------------I G:-----x-x------------x-------------------------------------x-x---------------------------I D:-----x-x------9-9-9-x---9-----9--9--8---0---------------x-x--11-11-11-----------I A:-----x-x------7-7-7-x---7-----7--7--6---0-9-9-9--------x-x---9---9---9------------I E:-----x-x------------x--------------------0-7-7-7---------x-x--------------------------I
timing is not accurate, but i belive the tab is.
_________________________ Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl
I Haven't tabbed the whole some again, so I need some help, again.
This riff is for the intro and some other parts of the song. for the verse Jamie strikes on muted string, i dont know the notes.
Play 3 times
E:---------------------------------------------------I B:---------------------------------------------------I G:---------------------------------------------------I D:-----2----------2------2------2------2-3-2----I A:---------3--3------3------0------0-------------I E:----------------------------------------------------I
then
E:---------------------------------------------------I B:---------------------------------------------------I G:---------------------------------------------------I D:---0----------0-----0------2------2-3-2-----I A:--------------------------0------0---------------I E:--------3--3-----3-------------------------------I
for the chorus
play C and then Am for 3 times, then G and Am
__________________________
Poe Poe
For Poe Poe i only play these 4 chords
E A D G B E A: 5 7 7 x x x C: x 3 5 5 x x G: 3 5 5 x x x D: x 5 7 7 x x
I know this is not accurate, I've seen Jamie playing this one and he uses a capo
Hope someone finds it useful, and I hope someone helps me out.
Isra"

" a few things.....
i play "i luv the valley" w. variations on an Em chord,
e 7- 7 B 8- 8 G 9- 0 D 9- 9 A 0- 0 E 0- 0
just mess w. this for a while, then G and C as such
e 10- 8 B 12- 8 G 12- 9 D 0- 10 A 0- E
For I broke up, the following sequence Em-G-D-C seems good enough for me, though not sure if D is 2-3-2-0-x-x or 0-3-2-0-x-x. anyway should be okay.
don'T have a guitar lying around so i can't tab 20000 deaths... nor be 100% sure of what I've written. maybe another day.
have fun,
jf. "

From xiu-xiu.tomstyle.com/hiveslive.txt : Hives Hives"Xiu Xiu "Hives Hives" (Live Live) Tour 2005 by Erez this beautiful song was finally figured adapted to a live setting with high-pitched stringed instruments including mandolin and autoharp. (emulated with a high capo) touching me deeply in the live setting, i decided to transcribe the guitar to the best of my knowledge. Capo on 12th fret INTRO/CHORUS -----------------0---3-0----------- -------------------0-----0--------- -----0----------------------------- ---2------0----2------------------- -3----------2---------------------- --------3-------------------------- VERSES C: 032010 G: 32000(3) Em: 022000 "

Opening/First Verse:
D 9 A 7 E 9 --muted and played on beat with the song.
Chorus:
D 9-8---4---11 A 7-----2---9 E 7-----2---9 --you can figure out the strumming melody.
Second Verse:
D 9---11 A 7---9 E 7---7 --kinda tough to notice at first.
If anyone with a guitar cares to take a shot i'd be greatly appreciated."
