Dan Marx's TOB guitar tabs
Guitar Tabs
A far more complete archive can be found at Dan Marx's TOB guitar tabs page. The tabs below are just my basic attempts at a few TOB songs.

Bitter
The opening chords are a D, and a D minus the first finger and the second finger (...in other words, it's a G... Obviously you don't play the whole G chord, just the G-B-E strings.)

I've Sung One Too Many Songs For A Crowd That Didn't Want To Hear
Capo on the second fret. The beginning chords are whatever the one below is called and a G.

Marigold
Like a bunch of TOB songs, this one uses a capo. This one goes on the second fret. The 3 main chords are:

              EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE
capo 2nd fret ======  ======  ======
              xo||1|  xo||o|  x||oo|

              ||3||4  ||3||4  |3|||4
              ||||||  ||||||  ||||||

The chiming notes during the chorus are variations of those chords.

Past Future Perfect
This song is capoed on the third fret. There are two main chords, one of which is a G.

              EADGBE  EADGBE 
capo 3nd fret ======  ====== 
              ||oo||  |||o||

              2|||34  |2||34 
              ||||||  |||||| 

Note that on the G chord I add that one fingering on the B string; I like the fuller sound it adds to that chord and I always play G that way. Anyway the other chord is just two fingers shifted over by one string (not sure what its name is).

Other chords for the chorus are Eminor, C, and D. There is one other chord in there that I am missing, though. Anyone have any ideas?

Whenever You're Around (tablature by Neal Clark)
The song is basically three chords: E, A, and B. Also, the end of the song changes key, not sure what chords are used--perhaps it goes up a half step or a full step. To start the song, do Riff A-Riff B a couple times, then back to Riff A as the words start:

(Riff A) "Look hard you'll never find me…"
