• Song:

    Confusion

  • Artist:

    Stanford Prison Experiment

Been on a 90's kick, and was a little disappointed that this song wasn't tabbed.  It's 
fun to play, but takes some discipline to get it to sound good because you're playing 
power chords and notes through the whole thing.  There are two man riffs

Riff 1: Verses and breaks

e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---4/6\4----4/6\4--------------------686-66-686--------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|22-2/4\2-22-2/4\2-66-66br-66-66br-77-777-77-777-66-6br-66-6br|
D|00-------00-------44-44br-44-44br-55-555-55-555-44-4br-44-4br|

The last time before the chorus when you go from the A to the Ab play this:

e|-------------|
B|-------------|
G|-------------|
D|-------------|
A|-66-6br-6-4-6|
D|-44-4br-4-2-4| and then go straight into...

Riff 2: Choruses and outro

Listen to the song for the rhythm, but generally you're going to be strumming the chords 
listed and playing the lead simultaneously
e|--------------------|
B|----------4-4-------|
G|--8-8-6-------4-----|
D|-----------------13-|
A|-7-------4-------11-|
D|-5-------2-------9--|

There's one verse where the bass continues with the E Ab A Ab riff and you play a root 
five octave at Eb, it's dissonant, but that's part of what makes the song cool.

I'm transcribing the lyrics because I couldn't find them

Come to countdown / Yet another letdown
Come to some / Twisted conclusion
In you something / continue pressing
Confusion / Worn-out illusion

There's this / play that / we all know
Turning / burning / we all know it

Sense a knockdown / feel another meltdown
Come to some / twisted delusion
I've seen a face / seen a reflection
Conclusion / no delusion

There's this / place that / we all know
There's this / way that / I could show it

Sub mind / sunshine
Cardboard / cut-outs
Blowing / away

There's a / place that / we all know
It's a / place with / no disguises
Sunshine / cut-outs / my mind cuts out
Cardboard / cutouts / fall
