			     Cheerleader by St. Vincent
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From 2011's 'Strange Mercy'. This is relatively easy to play compared to some of her
other songs; the wild effects you hear in it are achieved through her own gear which is
beyond my knowledge, but I've written a tab for it based off of what I hear on the album
and from seeing her play this live. It's all pretty straightforward barre chords. Also note
that the live versions are a bit different from the album recording, mainly in that
during live performances the guitar is much more prominent. Regardless, I can't say that the
tab is 100% correct, but it seems pretty exact as far as I can tell. Let me know if you 
have any corrections or additions.
