I've enjoyed this song by Icelandic Mugison for a long time, so I thought I'd give
a bit of it a shot.

See it as a first draft and please improve on it. There are a lot of nice details and 
to be found in the song.

Specifically, I have not tabbed the fast descent in the middle of the song. If I'm not 
enough to play it, why tab it? ;-)

This is a tab of the album version (from Mugimama - Is this monkey music? ).

There are two guitars (or overdubbing) involved on the album. This is a tab for one 
only.

Now, get that ringfinger and pinky tapping!

Am blending into the beginning of next rhythm figure 1)

At one point (at 1:26) the last part is repeated several times:

D|---10p7-|
A|---7----|
D|-7------|

Rhythm figure 2
This part is - like many others - quite muddled. This is a simplification. The high 
are very soft.

    D5 (xx023x@1)                    C5 (x355xx@1)                                D5 (xx023x@1)C5 (x355xx@1)B5e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| (x244xx@1)B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Rhythm figure 3
This comes after the quick descent just after the one minute mark - which I'm not going 
attempt tabbing.
It is also used towards the end of the song.

     A5 (x022xx@1)  G5 (355xxx@1)A5e|---------------------| (x022xx@1)B|---------------------|
G|----14--[12]---------| Repeat once (for a total of two times ;-) )

A|-/12-----------7-[7]-|
D|-------------7-------|

This is followed by
Rhythm figure 4
Here - again - several guitars are involved playing almost the same but transposed somewhat.
Here's a shot at the lower register (I'm not that happy with this part).

When playing this at the end of the song finish off with the following harmonic:

Lyrics:


I try to do it quietly
not a whisper, more like a shock
try to disorganize neatly
what to keep and what to block

I'd shout like that old fly
in that window and wait
wait for a finger to squeeze
or will hesitate?

shout A

there aint no logic, there aint no plain
no roads you can travel free form pain
I'm only shoulder i'm only a kiss
good for confort and cool for the diss

the lord is my mom she's my save
I'm her troubled boy unto the grave
I pretend she's blessing, blessing me
hope she'll save me from this misery
