1*****ALCOHOL*****
TABBED BY:J. T. Foust (ryanf@alpha.wcoil.com)
I Have Never Written A tab before nor will this look as pretty as yours
do on the Tab page but this is how I think Alcohol Off of Becks single
should go. Beck is actually in tune for this! I strongly suggest trying
to read what I have written and listen to the song while playing!
Verse:
D C G C A C G A(Don't strum the open low E chord with any of the
chords until the end when you pluck it. You'll understand when you
listen to the song)
Chorus (if that's what you want to call it this part is hard to
explain):
E D A D A
go into B7 and pluck the B string then play B7
pluck F# and then play B7 chord
then repeat E D A D A
pluck B string play B7 chord
pluck F# string then play B7
pluck G then play G chord
pluck open A string hammer down on B pluck B play B7
pluck F# play B7
Pluck G string play G chord string
pluck E string release and let open D resonate
pluck B let open A resonate
go back and pluck B string play B7 chord
pluck F# then Go Back into the Verse chords
Well that was a Bitch to explain and I hope you understand. Take my
advice and listen while you play this will help on learning this
wonderful song!
Here are the lyrics:
Alcohol leaving me dry
now it is time for pie
taking them as they come
Alcohol please give me some
2*****ASSHOLE*****
TABBED BY: John Vettese (spex49d@prodigy.com)
This one was a pain to figure out since it is tuned way the hell down.
Tuned down one and a half steps to be exact. I have seen him do this live
and he doesn't tune down, so you don't really have to either, but if you
want to play along with One Foot In The Grave, it's kinda neccecary.
Chord Voicings:
C: 0 3 2 0 1 0
E: 0 2 2 1 0 0
A: 0 0 2 2 2 0
F: 1 3 3 2 x x
C E A
Your brains went black when she took back her mouth
C E A
and put it out into the sun
C E A
The birds did fly when the heavens all went dry
C E A
And the cigarettes are smokin by themselves
CHORUS
F
She'll do anything
E
She'll do anything
A C
She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole
Call her name, she looks the same as you
question mark stretched across the skin
She dangles carrots, makes you feel embarressed
to be the fool you know you are
(Chorus)
That's basically it!
Later!
JOHn
3***** BLACKHOLE *****
TABBED BY: John Vettese (spex49d@prodigy.com)
OK, this song is in an alternate tuning, but I think I have it figured out.
You retune to this: D G D G G G
maybe down a couple steps or so...I can't tell. The intro basically strums
open strings. The verse goes like this:
1: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 5 4
2: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 5 4
3: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 5 4
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 9 4
2: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 9 4
3: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 9 4
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Then I think there's another part like this:
1: /12 12 12 12 10 10 10 10 4 4 4 4 7 7 7 7
2: /12 12 12 12 10 10 10 10 4 4 4 4 7 7 7 7
3: /12 12 12 12 10 10 10 10 4 4 4 4 7 7 7 7
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1: 0 0 0
2: 0 0 0
3: 0 0 0
4: 2/4 5 5
5: 0 0 0
6: 2/4 5 5
That's basically it. Don't worry about wether or not your guitar is exactly
in tune when playing this. Beck's never is. :)
4*****BOGUSFLOW*****
TABBED BY:lawncigar3@aol.com jdc9654@gemini.cc.tntech.edu (my "permanent" address)
Here's the song off of the DGC rarities CD....the song is called Bogusflow
(duh)
G C D
Monkey see, monkey die
G C D
G
Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
G C D G
Cause it's squallin' and it's solid and it's
C D G
Completely rancid and beautiful,
C D G
Like a forcefield of multiplying meat,
C D G
Cut a hole in the floor just to see
C D G C D
Just how close to hell we're standing.
Time shoots forward in your skull
Scattered to the four winds, trapped in a bucket
Riding lamposts moldy toast
Excitement level.....zero
Rock the casba (sp?) bring the noise
Amplified dishwashers exploring the boring to the core
people with cordless personalities
runnin round in new wave bionic jogging suits
California....white boy sound
Rocket powered and nailed to the ground
New age old age, totally lame
Straight to the middle of the road
Rewind the tape, play the whole thing backwards
with the sound completely turned off
Every once in a while....when i play the G chord (it sounds best to play the
standard chords, not power chords) i strum it a few times then hammer on
the note on the A string....listen to the song and maybe you'll understand
what i'm talking about. It's not critical, but it adds to the song.
A lot of times i suck at guitar tabs, so if i've got anything wrong write me
and tell me, or if ya just wanna say "good job, here's 5 bucks" you can do
that too. :^)
later,
5*****BURNT ORANGE PEEL*****
TABBED BY: Alan Tapper (a.tapper@cowan.edu.au)
For the the chords on this song I find it best to play the chords by
sliding chords with open strings up. For instance for A,A#,B,C and C#
I play the A chord up the neck. I do the same on the E string except
when I play the normal G chord. I don't know whether it's tuned up or
down. Some of the lyrics are probably wrong but then, you never know
with Beck. (I've put the lyrics that I'm pretty sure are wrong but
can't work out anyway in brackets. If anyone knows them then lucky
you.) Most of chords last for one bar, where they only last half a
bar I've put (1/2) after them, it probably just makes things more
confusing.
4 bars of A# (listen to the song to get the rythm)
A# A#
(Of all the golden) things to be,
A# A#
I got a garden hose and a colour TV,
A(1/2) F(1/2) A#
I got time on my hands,

6*****CANCELED CHEQUE*****
TABBED BY:Michael J Cahill (mcahill@wilkes1.wilkes.edu)
Main cords A, C, D, G
A C G A
I hate to do this but you're a pain in the neck
A C G A
I thought you knew this , you're handing me a canceled cheque
A C G A
And you've been moanin', you're girlfriends think you're a saint

I'll give you a quarter , I'll keep my judgments to my self

I don't wanna bay, it's crystal clear, you're time is nearly gone
A C G A
You're building your mansion, it's something you ought to avoid

You've got momentum, building out in the void

7*****CYANIDE BREATH MINT*****
TABBED BY: Lysbeth Guillorn (Lguillorn@aol.com)
Cyanide Breath Mint by Beck can be found on the disc One Foot in the
Grave.
It's tuned down to D, so it's
D G C F A D
I just wrote the chords down as if the guitar were in E. This seems
to matchup pretty well with the CD, so just listen and strum as you see fit.
A F D G
Definitely, this is the wrong place to be
F C
there's blood on the futon,
E A
there's a kid drinkin' fire.
F
Goin' down to the sea,
D G
they got people to meet,
F C
shakin' hands with themselves,
E F-------->slide to Gflat
lookin' out for themselves.
C F G
When they ask you for credit,
F C
give them a branch.
C F G
When they want you to get it,
F C
chew on the grass.
E F
I know, I know
D G
'cause they told me to tell you
F C
there's nothing to tell you,
E A
there's nothing to sell you.
(Same chords as first part)
In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,
burning equipment, decomposing.
Cool off your jets,
take off your sweats,
I got a funny feeling
they got plastic in the afterlife.
(Same chords as second part:)
When they want you to cry,
leap into the sky.
When they suck your mind,
like a pigeon you fly.
I know, I know,
it's the positive people
running from their time
looking for some feeling.

9*****FUME*****
TABBED BY: John Vettese (spex49d@prodigy.com)
I just love tabbing obscure Beck songs! Here's one off of the Loser single,
and IMHO, one of the best Beck songs ever...
Tune your bass to Drop D and tune your guitar down 1 whole step.
"My friend picked me up..."
Bass
1:
2:
3:
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 /5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
play that 3x then
1:
2:
3:
4: 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2
That was pretty much the bassline for this entire part...the guitar plays
feedback during that part, then for the chorus it does this:
"There's a Fume"
E5 A5 E5 A5 G5
E5 A5 E5 A5 G5 B5
The Heavy part is pretty much this:
G5 A5 E5
with the corresponding bassline.

11*****Girl Dreams"*****
TABBED BY: Jarrett Frankel (jfrankel@intr.net)
with assistance from John McCain
Yet another beautiful acoustic Beck tune, from his essential independent
release, One Foot In The Grave. It's a simple tune, so learn it quick and
impress the one you secrectly love(you can substitue "girl" with "boy" if
that's your gig, y'know?). Maybe they'll love you for it.
(Standard tuning will work for this one, though I think it might be tuned
down a step. Try what ever works best.)
F# A
You're just the girl of my dreams
E G A B E
But it seems my dreams never come true
F# A
You're just the girl of my dreams

12*****Heartland Feelings*****
TABBED BY: Jarrett Frankel (jfrankel@intr.net)
with much help from John McCain.
Here's a sprawling yet immensely jolly epic from the current "Slack
Laureate" of these United States: Beck. If you liked "Mexico", this one's
for you. You can hear this cut on his cassette-only release from a few
years back, Golden Feelings, released on the independent label Sonic Enemy.
This will have to do until the new DGC album hits the streets, huh? By the
way, I've placed the chords over the lyric that marks the progression.
However, the last time I uploaded a file to Nevada, things shifted out of
place. Beware and enjoy.
Spoken word intro:
What we're talking about here is kind of a...it's a...Heartland Feeling.
Mellencamp, you know, kind of a Mellen-feeling.
Ok. What you gotta get together is a Heartland folk singer:
John Couger Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seeger;
That type of feeling: a Mellen-feeling.
You know, a real powerful, approving music
Of a Heartland quality, just powerful straight-forward music.
And if you can't get just the right type of feeling
Find someone who will pass and change them.

aint no fire in the pan
i get lonesome (4x)
so glad to be a slab
stiff as a stick on a board
i get thoughts and dirty socks
piled in the corner
i get lonesome (4x)
Getting fat on your own fears
bring that beer over here
i stomp on the ground
just to make a sound
i get lonesome

note: play all these chords as bar chords on the low E string
(play open E chord).
intro: hang on B chord
verse:
B G# E B
You only got one finger left and it's pointin' at the door
B G# E B
And you're takin' for granted what the lord's laid on the floor
B G# E B
So I'm pickin' up the pieces and I'm puttin' them up for sale
B G# E B
Throw your meal ticket out the window, put your skeletons in jail
chorus:
F# B
Cuz lord only knows it's gettin' late
F# B
Your senses are gone so don't you hesitaeeyaeeyate
E G#
To get yourself a job
B G#
Let your bottom dollars fall
G F# B
Throwin' your two-bit cares down the drain
(little drum break)
hammer-ons and pull-offs on the fifth and seventh frets of the B string,
ending up with a slide to the ninth fret.
(repeat verse, diff. lyrics)
(repeat chorus, diff. lyrics)
interlude:
B D A F# E
B D A F# E
Aurele aurele aurele aurele
do that a few times then:
(this part is a little incomplete)
D --0-2-0-0-2-4-2
A -2-----2-------
and while one guitar does that, start doing this:
E -5-5-5---5-5-5--
B -7-7-7-5-7-7-7-5
G --------7-------7 (repeat and fade)
goin' back to houston....
I think that the fuzzy guitar you hear in the front throughout the song is
just playing the root notes of the chords. I didn't really try to figure it
out, though.
18*****LOSER*****
TABBED BY:rte@Virginia.EDU (Richard T. Eppink)
A fairly simple song, nonetheless, there was a request so:
It's in drop D, so, do all that.
The intro/verse part is played with a slide and goes as follows
e---------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------
D---0-0--12-0-12---12\------0-0--12-0-12---12\------------------
A---0-0--12-0-12---12\\-----0-0--12-0-12---12\\-----------------
D---0-0--12-0-12---12\\\----0-0--12-0-12---12\\\----------------
That continues over and over through out.
The other part, that is played over the slide part is as
follows:
e---------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------7-7-7-5-5-----------7-7-7-8-8-----------------------
G---7-7-9-7-------------7-7-9-7---------------------------------
And that is also repeated over and over at different parts.

I was workin at Mcdonalds, doing the late night run
Am G Am
when a car pulled up the drive thru and pointed out a gun
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/beck/120021.html ]
Am G Am

Am G Am
I stuffed them all in a sack and i ducked down below

I guess i was kinda nervous there was a warrant out on me
concerning some jaywalkin tickets i couldn't afford to pay
needless to say i got the axe that same day
Well me being outta work just then, i couldn't afford to go home
mom said if i lost this job i've have to go out on my own
so i went over to dave's house and i got really stoned
called up some girls but none of them were home
Steve came over and he brought some alcohol
we all got really depressed, just staring at the wall
we thought we'd get some money, we thought that we might go
spent the weekend pleasant, down in mexico
Steve's dad had a huntin rifle, and we went and picked it up
we stopped at a 7-11 to try out our luck
we pulled out that huntin rifle, but the counter guy just laughed
as he pulled out an uzi, we turned and hauled ass.
We ran so fast, till we came to the Mcdonalds where i used to work
we walked up to the drive thru and gave my boss a jerk
said give us all you money and 3 big macs to go
and suck on this you weasel, we're going to mexico
When we got there we got really wasted, dave got a case of the runs
we all got hungover and we were getting low on funds
steve and dave called there parents and took the bus back home.

I suck at tabs so if this is wrong tell me.

TABBED BY:Tom Mallon (tsmallon@syr.edu)
I'm going to put lyrics in here just so that you know where the chords
are supposed to go. I'm not saying these are the actual lyrics, just
the way I hear them.
I'm not sure whether this is played on guitar or on distorted bass. I'm
guessing there's probably a little bit of both. Play everything as power
chords, and distort as much as much as possible. Have fun.
Because I matched the chords with the words it may be a little hard to
follow along with (and may be off, too) so here's the tab for how these
parts go.

D --7-9--9--9--9----7-9--9--7------------------------ of this riff sometimes,
A --5-7--7--7--7----5-7--7--5------------------------ it's a B5.

A few things go on in the bridge part. First, a clean guitar
plays this.

A --7----10/12----7-------------7----10/12----7----7/9--9----
E ------------------------------------------------------10---
For the distorted part, just play the same things but with a
distorted bass playing the root notes an octave lower.
When the bridge is over, a little keyboard (maybe guitar?) comes in
and plays this:
E ---------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------
G ---------------------------------------------------
D -10---------8---------6----------------------------
A -------9---------8---------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------
Repeat the intro riff, then make a lot of noise.
I'm not going to tab out the synth bit at the end, but if anyone else
wants to, feel free to add it.
25***** OUTCOME*****
TABBED BY:Tom Mallon (tsmallon@syr.edu)
I'm only going to do two of the parts here, the main riff and what the
bass is playing during the chorus. I'm not going to try to figure out
the slide bits, I would just screw around in B for those parts and see
what you get. Here's enough to get you started though.
MAIN VERSE RIFF
E ------------------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------------------------------
D -------7-6-----------4-3------------------------------------
A ------------------------------------------------------------
E ---7-------------5------------------------------------------
During the chorus, the bass plays E D B, descending from the 7th fret
on the A string. You play the E and D notes something like eight times
each, and the B like 15 or 16. At the end of the song, the bass just
moves up the neck from B. Enjoy.
26*****OZZY*****
TABBED BY: Taylor Skidmore (tskid@exfido.com)
This CD is wicked cool. If you like Beck BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!
This is one of the best songs on the CD, IMHO. The guitar is
acoustic and in the background. This sorta sounds wrong when you
play it along with the CD, but I think Beck might tune down or
something like that like he usually does. Anyway, if anyone
knows a better way to play this, please post it!
Em A C
Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy, ozzy..
And you just play that for the whole song. If anyone knows the
lyrics, please e-mail them to me, or post them.

27*****PAINTED EYELIDS*****
TABBED BY: Zak Watson c642063@showme.missouri.edu
This song comes from the One Foot in the Grave album on K records.
If you don't have it, I would highly recomend its immediate purchase.
These chords are played by hitting the lowest note first followed by a
few strums, and that pattern is repeated. Your best bet is to listen to
the CD for the exact rhythm. Also, there may be some pulloffs/hammerons
around the A chord (Perhaps a second guitar?). Anyway, this is pretty
much it. Any corrections or additions will be greatly appreciated.
Intro: D
D A
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
G F
The world is your oyster and the trashbags are your kids
D A
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin through the sky
G F
and every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
Chorus(kind of):
A7 D
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
A7 D
the buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
D A
There's a police siren singin like a tiger with no skin
G F
the sewer drain is glowin and I don't know what state I'm in
D A
And the river is on fire and there's chemicals and debris
G F
All the roads are blocked off it's just too hard to see
A7 D
So cancel my appointment and set up a whole new show
A7 D
'Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
D-A-G-F
(Harmonica solo over verse chords 1x)
D A
So get me a plate of money and get me a blanket and a chair
G F
The limitations are limitless they're floating through the air
A7 D
'Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
A7 D
And there's nothin that I wouldn't talk about with the clearest
dream that ever drifted by...
Fade on verse chords with harmonica and sounds
Hope you enjoy it
-Zak Watson
28*****PAY NO MIND*****
TABBED BY: mariogag@bnr.ca (Mario Gagnon) ?????
The guitar on the album is a little bit off standard tuning, so you'll
probably have to retune if you want to play along. I think it sounds
better to tune the whole guitar down a whole step so you can play the
F-Eb-D in open position (as G-F-E).
ton[C]ight the c[G]ity is f[F]ull of whores
and a[C]ll the toi[F]lets are overfl[C]owing
there's sho[C]pping ma[G]lls coming o[F]ut of the w[C]alls
as we w[C]alk out am[F]ong the ma[G]nure
[D]that's why [F][Eb]
I pay no mind [F][Eb][C]
give the finger to the rock and roll singer
as he's dancing upon your paycheck
the sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
like a giant dildo crushing the sun
that's why
I pay no mind
I sleep in slime
I just got signed
so get out your lead pipe pipe dreams
get out your ten-foot flags
the insects are huge and the poison's all been used
and the drugs won't kill your day job
that's why
I pay no mind

let the deadbeats pound all around
Chorus:
we will go
nowhere we know
we don't have to talk at all (till we find our one and all)

fly paper towns
stuck together one and all

buckets and bags
and all your belongings
your train's in the sand

TABBED BY: MR JOHN M VETTESE (SPEX49D@prodigy.com)
This is a cool song off one of Beck's indie albums, Stereopathetic Soul
Manure. If you don't have it, I suggest getting it. The chord progression
is the same throughout the song, except they add a banjo at some point.
Since I don't play banjo, or have any desire to, I will just give you the chords.

Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick
A E
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard
I was getting kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard
There was aphids on the lettuce and I ate every one
And after I was done the salsa melted off my tongue
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
And the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat
My stomach was tremblin' and I broke out in a rash
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash
So I went and found a hose tore off all my clothes
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose
Some old lady came along and she flat out was a freak
So she beat me with her handbag 'til I could hardly speak
I was lying there naked my body badly bruised
In a pool of my own blood unconscious and confused
When the cops came and got me and threw me in their van
And I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand
They took me to the judge his eyes were glowing red
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead
The sheriff was a hell-hound with fangs and claws
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls
The air was getting thick the smoke was getting thicker
The judge read the verdict said Cut off his head
Well they placed me on the altar they raised up the axe
My head was about to explode when I noticed the Marshall stacks
I noticed all the smoke machines cameras and lights
Some guy with a microphone runnin' around dancin' in tights and I noticed
The crew and the band playin' down below
And I realized I was in a rock'n'roll [video]
So I went and joined the band and I went out on tour
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure
I made out with the groupies started fires backstage
Made a lot of money and I gave it all away
Well the band got killed so I started a solo career
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell
Cookin' with the devil, fryin' down in hell

36*****THUNDER PEEL*****
TABBED BY: John Vettese (spex49d@prodigy.com)
This isn't as difficult as it sounds, since even though a slide is used, it
is played in standard tuning.
The intro has two guitar tracks and numerous vocal tracks. I tabbed it for
one guitar, since the two parts are pretty much the same.
Intro (w/slide):
3: 14 7 14\ 7 (7)/(14) 14\ (14) 14
4: 14 14\(7) 7/(14) (14)\ 7 (7) (7)/(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\ (7)
3: /(14) 14\ /(14) 14\ /(14) 14\ /(14) 14\ /(9)~~~
4: /(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\(7) 7/(9)~~~
(turn on destortion, get some feedback, make noise, then)
Rest of song (w/out slide):
4: 7 7 /12 12 12
5: 7 7 /12 12 12
6: 5 5 /10 10 10
play 8x then:
3: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
4: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
5: 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
The song completely falls apart at 1 minute 28 seconds. Make noise from
there out.
Lyrics, courtesy of Russ Sweetser (Onefootgrv@aol.com):
its a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
its an everlasting its a ghettoblasting
on the wonderwheel i got my thunderpeel
i made an effort to get just what i deserve
i got on my strap i got fatso belt
i was jumping around it was your mother coming down
in the flick of a chick i got to take my pick
betwen a slime and a fist just a big happy dog
I'm taking morphine!!!
now im rolling in sweat with a loaf of cold bread
and a taco in my jeans on the ??? it glides
its got such a good thighs i got taken by surprise
with the flavored flavored donuts
its a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
its an everlasting its a ghettoblasting
on the wonderwheel i got a thunderpeel
i made an effort to get just what i deserve
THE END!!
37*****TRUCKDRIVIN NEIGHBOURS DOWNSTAIRS (YELLOW SWEAT)*****
TABBED BY: S. Brown (shawnb@ecst.csuchico.edu))
Note: The guitar on this is tuned down one step, as it is on a lot of songs
on this album. Is anyone has transcribed any more Beck songs, let me know.
The first guitar part on the verses is as follows
The second guitar part is just kind of improvised

Growin hair like a shag rug on a greasy back
