Mayonaise - Transcribed by Jon Powell

 This song is fairly easy as it only has a few chord progressions. On the 
 recording, the tuning is down a half step. I'm going to show it as I play
 it normally, in B major.

 The first riff is clean.
 play this rhythm twice.

  The x's across the board represent the beautifully innovative feedback 
  played there. This is accomplished by having your amp turned pretty loud;
  I have a 40 watt amp, and this usually works with the volume at 4 or higher,
  gain all the way up. The amp should be at about the same height as the 
  pickups, or you'll have to duck down until they are. Stand about one foot
  away from the amp and mute all the strings with your picking hand. Try not 
  to cover up the pickups, since this might lessen the effect. You should 
  hear a high-pitched shriek from your amp that sounds close to that on the 
  tape. Work with your pickups until you get a good sound, Single coil pickups
  work better than humbuckers, especially the middle single coil. It also 
  helps if the tone control on your guitar is all the way up. Two guitars 
  doing this at the same time will produce a good harmony like on the tape.
  Practice this effect using different distances away from the amp. It should 
  change pitch as you move. 

  For the second verse, play Rhy. Fig #1 twice, and the second time, play 
  Riff#1
  after that, play this twice
  Rhy. Fig #2

  Here are the lyrics

  Fool enough to almost be it
  Cool enough to not quite see it, doomed
  Pick your pocket full of sorrow
  And run away with me tommorow, gone
  We'll try to ease the pain, somehow
  Feel the same way
  No one knows where our secrets go
  I'll send my heart to all my dearies 
  When your love is so, so dreary, dream
  I'm rumored to the the straight and narrow
  While the harlots of my perils scream
  And I fail, but when I can, I will
  Try to understand that when I can, I will
  Mother weeped the years I'm missing
  All the time can't be given back
  Shut my mouth and strike the demons
  Cursed you and your reasons
  Out of hand and out of season
  Out of love and out of feeling
  So bad but when I can, I will
  Words define the plans
  But when I can, I will
  Fool enough to almost be it
  Cool enough to not quite see it
  Told enough to always feel it
  Always old I always feel it
  No more promise, no more sorrow
  No longer will I follow
  Can anybody hear me, I just want to be me
  When I can, I will
  Try to understand that when I can, I will

  That complete the transcription to Mayonaise, I hope it is useful.
