Well, this is what I came up with. Just like every other Live song, each string is tuned 1/2 step down. It
sounds really good if you crank up the chorus while playing the intro and verses.
INTRO:
C Am7
|----------------------------1-----------------------|----------------------------------3-----0--------------|
|--------------1--------------------0----------------|-----------------1---0---1-----------------------------|
|-------------------------0------------------0-------|-------------------------------------------------------|
|---------2-------2----------------------------------|------------2------------------------------------------|
|----3-----------------------------------------------|------0------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
Em F

|---------2------------------------------------------|----3--------------------------------------------------|
|----2-----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
VERSE:
The verse is the same as the intro with a few changes. You should be able to figure it out by listening
to the song.
CHORUS:
C
turn my head
C Em Am
turn my head
G7 F
it's aimed at you
The first chorus is followed by this little riff:
C
|---0------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
|---1-------------------------0---1-------3----------|---0----1-----------------------------------------------|
|---0------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
|---2------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
|---3------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
BRIDGE:
F Em
oh, no
Em F Em
we came to love you all day
Em F
these bastards are leavin'
F Em
somebody's got to stay
Em F
whatever we called you
F G7
it's just a name, just a name
SOLO:
|-----------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
|-----10----8-----------------10------8---------------|--8 h 10 p 9--------------------------------------------|
|------------------9----------------------------------|-------------------9 h 10 p 9-------9 h 10 p 9----------|

|-----------------------------------------------------|
|----8------------------5-----------------------------|
|----8------5 h 7-------5-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
It then picks up at the second line of the chorus (C, Am, Em, etc.).
Well, I hope you can piece together the song from what I gave you. I play the intro and verses with a lot of
chorus, and use light distortion for the chorus and solo parts.

Tune down 1/2 step
Guitar 1 plays Chords
Guitar 2 plays throughout verses:

G-------0-----------------0-------0

A-3-3------------------------------
E---------3---------0-------1------
With a little inventiveness you can play a pretty good simulation
on just one guitar, by playing the bottom two or three strings as
straight open chords and the top three strings as above during the
verses
[verse]
C G E F
anyone, caught in your mystery
C G
keep it angry
E F
keep it whispy
C G
I've fallen down
E F Fm
Drunk on your juices
[chorus1]
C Am
C (1) (1) = e--0--0--0
Turn my head B--1--1--1
Am G--0--0--2
Turn my head D--2--0--2
G F C A--3--2--0
it's aimed at you E---------
[verse]
funky temple
your dress is torn to shreds
your eyes are crazy
I bowed to save my head and
I can't forget you
but I can't remember
[chorus2]
C (1)
turn my head
Am
turn my head
G F
it's aimed at you
[bridge]
E
oh no
F E
we came to love you all day
F
these bastards are leavin'
E
somebody's got to stay

it's just a name
just a name
