This song isn't too hard. It's based on one bass riff: A-|---7--7--10--7-------------| E-|----------------10--8--7---| ...and then you just go from there. Most of it is really repetitve riffs so we'll label them A, B, etc. Guitar is distorted, obviously.

VERSE CHORUS And the feeling coming from my bones says "Find a home" SOLO This also revolves mainly around that bass line, played over RIFF B 8 times.

Also, please note that each section (marked by the bars) = a repetition of the riff. (Well, the last one is over RIFF A instead of RIFF B but you get the picture.) VERSE CHORUS And the stains coming from my blood tell me "Go back home" At the end of RIFF A after the last chorus, end it like this: e-|-------------| B-|-------------| G-|--9----9\----| D-|--9----9\----| A-|--7----7\----| E-|-------------| OK, so that's it. Rhythm's approximate and whatever, go listen to the song if you need to figure it out. E-mail corrections, questions, etc. to walrus0909@yahoo.com. And don't whine because the lyrics are wrong; I really don't care. Well that's all. I'll be back. (:o(= The Walrus
