Song: Man Without Skin
Band: Boy Hits Car
Tabber: Karl Haendler
The tuning on CRegg’s 12 string is probably either standard or standard down a whole
step. Louis probably has his guitar tuned drop d down a whole step. That is the
tuning that I will use in this tab.
This is one of BHC’s best songs.
Intro: (Acoustic)
E---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
G-------9------10-----12-----10---------
D-------10-----10-----10-----10---------
A-------10-----10-----10-----10---------
E-------8------8------8------8----------
Make sure you play the g string a little more distinctly than the others, because
that’s the string you hear the most. Listen to the song for the strumming.
Riff 1 (Verse): (Electric, but with some effect, maybe a tweaked chorus)
D---------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------
F------11------12------14------12-------
C------12------12------12------12------
G------12------12------12------12-------
C------12------12------12------12-------
It’s the same thing as the intro, just on the electric and in a different tuning.
Riff 2 (Chorus): (Distorted Electric)

Lyrics:
Can you see the line where the water ends?
Throws itself off into oblivion
As sky goes so complacent
then spits a little compassion
Dusk approaches the city’s carnivorous
Monster sweat like it wants to eat us
And devour everything but this mouth
Sings of the glorious fetus
Tucked deep inside the wraths of blood
Everywhere it seems like there’s a memory
Sometimes memories kill me
As I travel the avenues and the streets
And shadow valleys of this ***in’ city
Everyday it seem to love a little less
Seem to love that you’re overcome this
And drive me to the end of my self
Where ravens dispose of me
You’re like a man without skin
Everything that touches seems to hurt him
And he says maybe I’m just a person
But I’ll bleed for you if you let me
All I want is animals to be free
Run around and *** right out in the street
Maybe they are gonna want to eat me
But I’ll try not to take it personally
And is there no love in this city
Can someone have just a little pity?
You’re like a man without skin
Everything that touches seems to hurt him
And he says maybe I’m just a person
But I’ll bleed for you if you let me
Just like a man without skin
Everything he sees seems to touch him
And he says, as the water washes over me
I’ll stand alone let god make it trade
Come on baby
Penetrate me
You go so deep
So deep in me
Is there no love in this city
Can someone have just a little pity
’Cause we’re tucked deep inside the wraths of blood
We’re tucked so deep inside the wraths of blood
You’re like a man without skin
Everything he sees seems to touch him
And he says maybe I’m just a person
But I’ll bleed for you if you let me
Just like a man without skin
Everything he sees seems to touch him
And he says as the water washes over me
I’ll stand alone let god make it trade
Penetrate me
Penetrate me
