Transcribed by John Meredith This is my first tab posting so I hope you people like it! It is a fairly simple song to play, just a bunch of chords played through heavy distortion with liberal amounts of palm muting which is SO effective! All chords are ACTUAL notes for a 1/2 tone drop tuning so most can be played on a normal tuned guitar if shifted down a semi-tone (1 fret). The chords used are: EA DG BE A#5 (x133xx@1) 7 9 9 x x x or x 2 4 4 x x G54 (355xxx@1)5 5 x x x C5x (x355xx@1)4 5 5 x x F52 (133xxx@1)5 5 x x x G#55 (133xxx@4)7 7 x x x or x 0 2 2 x x D#5x (xx134x@1)7 9 9 x x D5x (xx023x@1)6 8 8 x x D#5(2) 0 2 2 x x x (or if you don't detune x 1 1 x x x ) *ALL CHORDS ARE PALM MUTED UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE* VERSE 1: (For the first section, Pete plays the bass only, but guitar can be added by hitting the A# note on the 7th fret of the bass E string fast) A# bass note ---------------------------> G5 I had the best intentions yeah honestly I paid attention A#5 (x133xx@1) G5I'm (355xxx@1)a loose conection so promise me a soft injection PRE-CHORUS: C5 (x355xx@1) F5 (133xxx@1)G5 (355xxx@1) C5 (x355xx@1)G#5 (133xxx@4)A#5A (x133xx@1)shallow feeling defies meaning CHORUS: D# (x43121@3) A#5I (x133xx@1)need a holiday, to blow you all away, C5 (x355xx@1) G5lose (355xxx@1)all the stiffs in my parade D# (x43121@3)A#5I (x133xx@1)need a holiday, a nuclear holiday, C5 (x355xx@1) G5just (355xxx@1)go anywhere I'll stay VERSE 2: (same as verse 1) Fell on the outside, where givin' in comes in like the tide And everybody's shinin' perfectly, moments in timing PRE-CHORUS: repeat CHORUS: repeat SOLO: (it is quite random so use your imagination!) *IT IS EASIER IF YOU USE THE "or" CHORDS AS THEY ARE ALL ON ONE STRING DURING THE DECENDING PART OF THE SOLO* If you don't want to drop tune, the D#5(2) can be played as the two note diad. G#5 (133xxx@4) A#5 (x133xx@1) D#5 (xx134x@1)D5C5 A# (x1333x@1)G#5 (133xxx@4) A#5 (x133xx@1) D#5(2) BRIDGE: (heavy FAST muting!) D#5 (xx134x@1) A#5If (x133xx@1)I talk you talk the words I say C5 (x355xx@1) G5Come (355xxx@1)back around a different way D#5 (xx134x@1) A#5The (x133xx@1)end is just a breath away C5 (x355xx@1) G5If (355xxx@1)you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say CHORUS: D#5 (xx134x@1) A#5 (x133xx@1)I need a holiday to blow you all away C5 (x355xx@1) G5 (355xxx@1)lose all the stiffs in my parade D#5 (xx134x@1) PAUSE ----------> I need a holiday a nuclear holiday C5 (x355xx@1) G5 (355xxx@1)just go anywhere i'll stay *repeat chorus twice without the pause* During the last two chorus' there is some strange chord being contantly played in the backround. It doesn't alter the song much so if you are a two piece have a widdle here! So there it is.
