    Transmissions From the ...

I had to tune down my guitar to get this right, but I don?t know if you really have to 
it. I believe it might be a D modal tuning... Well it doesn?t matter if you don?t play 
to the CD.

(Perhaps the E should be played without the tone B... what do you call that? Eno4?)

Intro: A E D E    x 2

A          E        D              E

A               E            D       E

A          E       D        E
Yeah,               I was there but
A         E      D         E
I didn?t care at all
     A          E          D       E
I was tryin to find you
A             E           D           E
When you got lost in the crowd
         A            E          D      E
Cus I?m drunk all the time
  A          E       D          E

C#m          F#             D            E        
(beginning of next part)
Watchin the girls when the cops made us stand in line

A E D E x 2 (half-speed verse, strumming)

A E D E x 2 (regular)

A        E       D           E
Yea,             so if it?s sad
         A            E            D         E
Well you still gotta live till ya die
A         E      D           E
Man,             everyones chewin

     A            E        D         E
It?s like at the circus
A             E            D         E
When you get lost in the crowd
       A          E         D      E
You?re happy but nervous
A         E             D          E
Definite sign that you lost it

D                                    E
There was a guy in the seat next to mine
C#m          F#            D            E         
 (-''-)
Watchin the girls when the cops made us stand in line

A E A E    x 2

A E A E    x until you faint
