Pawner by Polar Bear Club is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of E. It uses the chords E5, B5, F#5 and Eb. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
Use your fretting fingers to mute the surrounding strings like a boss.

I'm still unsure about the third chord in there…
Alright, now play that first riff again four times,
Remember to add that hammer-on during the third time,
And when you hit the fourth, add this:

Oh yeah! Now let that shit feedback and get ready to punch it.
You'll need multiple guitars for the full effect..
"OH!" B5 F#5

Now do a heart-rockin' guitar solo!
Continue playing that sweet riff underneath.
(I'll tab a little harmony for those playing it solo.)

End with this:
There's probably another guitar in there playing a
straight-up E5 chord too.

There you have it!
Wicked awesome song and one great new album from one of my favourite bands.
I've already got my tickets to see them in October and I can't hardly wait.
Thanks again for reading and rocking along.
Yours truly,
Jason
And just cause it leads into the next song...
