This is my personal favorite song by my personal favorite band. I encourage you to buy their stuff. Some other tabs have said capo on the 5th, I use it on the 4th. I'll leave it up to you which sounds better. **********THIS IS A HUGE PART OF GETTING THIS TO SOUND RIGHT**************** For lack of a better term, I'll refer to this as C7, but I know it's not. Simply play a C, but lift your first finger. Whatever the hell it is, play it like this: C7 e|--0--| B|--0--| G|--0--| D|--2--| A|--3--| E|--0--| Together the verse line will be: C C7 Am G That being said, here it is: C C7 Am G Missy got off the bus one day C C7 Am G In a crowded depot in downtown L.A. C C7 Am G F She looked around as if to say "I'm home" C But I'm home. C C7 Am G I find someone to love and some place to drink C C7 Am G And some time when I can just sit and think C C7 Am G F And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones C Lord of these drones F G Said as long as I'm never alone F C [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-airborne-toxic-event/317807.html ] C C7 Am G She had eyes as big as porceline plates C C7 Am G And skin as thin as paper drapes C C7 Am G F And she loved the lord the way an apostate loves songs F C C C7 Am G And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep C C7 Am G "I pray to you my soul to keep C C7 Am G F Your shepard and I'll be your sheep until dawn C Oh until dawn" F C G F C She said "I'd follow you even if it was wrong" C C7 Am G I met her one night at the coffee shop C C7 Am G Her face so wide my heart just stopped C C7 Am G F Hello my dear I fear I'm not what I seem C I'm not what I seem C C7 Am G I should've been a better man C C7 Am G I should be more deserving than C C7 Am G F The beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been C Oh that I've been F C G F C But I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams C C7 Am G But I swear there's still some good in me C C7 Am G If you stuck around I think you'd see C C7 Am G F All the honest attempts at integrity I've been had C C7 Am G Maybe if you helped me I could get it right C C7 Am G I lie awake every night C C7 Am G F Staring at the cieling wondering why I feel so bad C Why I feel so bad F C G F C But I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad End on C That's about it. If it doesn't sound right, you're probably playing a real C7 instead of lifting your first finger. Hope this helped. |
