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: E A D G B E A#5 7 9 9 x x x or x 2 4 4 x x G5 4 5 5 x x x C5 x 4 5 5 x x F5 2 5 5 x x x G#5 5 7 7 x x x or x 0 2 2 x x D#5 x 7 9 9 x x D5 x 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 Bb5 G5 I'm a loose conection so promise me a soft injection PRE-CHORUS: C5 F5 G5 C5 Ab5 Bb5 A shallow feeling defies meaning CHORUS: Eb Bb5 I need a holiday, to blow you all away, C5 G5 lose all the stiffs in my parade Eb Bb5 I need a holiday, a nuclear holiday, C5 G5 just 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. Ab5 Bb5 Eb5 D5 C5 Bb Ab5 Bb5 Eb5(2) BRIDGE: (heavy FAST muting!) Eb5 Bb5 If I talk you talk the words I say C5 G5 Come back around a different way Eb5 Bb5 The end is just a breath away C5 G5 If you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say CHORUS: Eb5 Bb5 I need a holiday to blow you all away C5 G5 lose all the stiffs in my parade D#5 PAUSE ----------> I need a holiday a nuclear holiday C5 G5 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.
