tabbed by arlen b what an insane song... loads of parts; hopefully i've done a decent job of transcribing most of them. anything that i've thoroughly screwed up, feel free to point it out to me, and i'll have another go at it, but i think this is pretty good for the most part... standard tuning chords used: A7M G#m(aug) F#m(7) F#m F#dim C#m C#m/Bb A B e--0----(0)------(0)-----2----------4----4-----0----2------------------| B--2-----4--------2------2----1-----5----5-----2----4------------------| G--1-----4--------2------2----2-----6----x-----2----4------------------| D--2-----6--------4------4----4-----6----6-----2----4------------------| A--0-----6--------4------4----3-----4----4-----0----2------------------| E--------4---------------2---------------6-----------------------------| *note* the intro/verse chord progression is sort of irregularly arpeggiated and played free hand. the parenthesis are indicative of the high E string being picked at some point during the arpeggiation of each chord in question. intro: [A7M G#m(aug)] x2 F#m(7) G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) i accidentally touched my head and noticed i had been bleeding F#m(7) G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) for how long i didn't know F#m F#dim C#m C#m/Bb what was this, i thought, that struck me?? F#m F#dim C#m C#m/Bb F#m F#dim C#m C#m/Bb what kind of weapons have they got?? the softest bullet ever shot and then some orchestration with no intelligible guitar (and not much in the way of basic chords either...) and then a bridge of sorts: C#m A, basic chords, played under this riff (approximately): e----------------------------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------------------| G----------------------------------------------------------------------| D--------2-4-4b5-4-2---------------------------------------------------| A--(2h4)-------------4--2h4--4-2p0-------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------| then what i'm calling the chorus: E Aadd9 (x07600) A7Madd9 (x06600) A6add9 (x04600) i stood up and i said, "yeah!!" E Aadd9 A7Madd9 A6add9 i stood up and i said, "yeah!!" E Aadd9 A7Madd9 A6add9 B i stood up and i said, "hey!! yeah!! yeah!!" then another bridge of sorts (this is pretty sketchy; VERY basic chords...): C#m C#m F#m(7) from this moment on, blaring like a trumpet A7M G#m(aug) comin' from above us and somewhere below F#m(7) C#m the confidence of knowing F#m(7) A7M E descending to relieve us of the struggle to believe it's so chorus: E Aadd9 A7Madd9 A6add9 i stood up and i said, "yeah!!" E Aadd9 A7Madd9 A6add9 i spoke up and i said, "hey!!" E Aadd9 A7Madd9 A6add9 B i stood up and i said, "hey!! yeah!! yeah!!" then another bridge-esque thing (notes in parenthesis indicate notes that SHOULD be played, but are hard/impossible to get at): Eadd9 E Caug Cmajb5 C#4 C#m G G7M B4 Bm D5 D57M D e--2----0----4----2-----------------3----2----0-------------------2-------| B--0----0----1----1------7-----5----0----0----x----3----3----2----3-------| G--1----1----x----x------6-----6----0----0----4----4----2----2----2-------| D--2----2----2----2------6-----6----0----0----4----4----0----0----0-------| A--2----2---(3)--(3)-----4-----4----2----2----2----2----------------------| E--0----0---------------------------3----3--------------------------------| then this trippy little thing (just the rough notes; sort of improv'ed): D E A e------5------7-------------7---------(b9)-------------------------------| B----7------(b9)------10---10---10---10----------------------------------| G--7------(b9)------(b9)---(b9)--------(b9)------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------| and it seemed to cause a chain reaction it had momentum; it was gainin' traction it was all the rage; it was all the fashion the outreached hands had resigned themselves to holdin' on to something that they... E A e------7------------7---(b9)---------7---(b9)------------------------------| B----(b9)--------10-------------10---------------------------------------| G--(b9)-------(b9)---(b9)--(b9)---(b9)---(b9)--(b9)--------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------| ...never had, and that's too bad F#m E cos in reality there was no reaction [A7M G#m(aug)] x2 F#m(7) G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) i accidentally touched my head and noticed i had been bleeding F#m(7) G#m(aug) A7M G#m(aug) for how long i didn't know F#m
