----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Autism Vaccine Blues - Dave Hause Half-step down tuning: D#G#C#F#A#d# Transcribed by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a great new Hause song I first heard when he supported Alkaline Trio on their 15th Anniversary tour. It's quite straight forward chord wise, but to get the rhythm I suggest listening to this live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ7zwGyZG4Q ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords used (mostly inversions around a C5 powerchord): C5 (x35xxx) Csus2 (x30xxx) C (x32xxx) F5 (x33xxx) F5* (133xxx) G5 (355xxx) E5 (022xxx) A5 (x022xx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro riff: C5, Csus2, F5, C, G5 Verse one: C5 Csus2 I got texts flying in and missed calls on my phone F5 C G I got debt collectors that wont leave me alone C5 Csus2 I got a cricket for a conscience, I can't pray away F5 C G F5* I got the blood of the lamb over my doorway, oh no C5 G5 F5 Oh whoaaowhoawahoh C5 G5 F5 whoaaowhoawahoh INTRO RIFF ONCE Verse two: C5 Csus2 These little pills make me well, now I feel everything F5 C G5 I hear doubting Thomas, the song that he sings C5 Csus2 I see the screens that we worship, the holes they don't fill F5 C G5 F5* I smell the sweat on her neck, it's how I know I could kill, oh no C5 G5 F5 Oh whoaaowhoawahoh C5 G5 whoaaowhoawahoh Chorus 1: E5 F5* G5 So bless me Father, I have sinned A5 Have you seen the shape I'm in?
