Song: Inertiatic ESP Band: The Mars Volta Album: Deloused in the Comatorium Notes - READ THIS FIRST, it's important for the song to sound good!: .First off, this is NOT a 'chord song'. So you'll need to adapt it by finding a rythm pattern you're comfortable with. I suggest something longue-ish (like, Down Up muted Up for each beat of a chord. Most chords measure one beat but you can adapt this to whatever feels more comfortable for you) .IMPORTANT: hammer ons and pull offs and chord variations. You can do this a lot in this song, especially during the Am and Em. When I put a second chord in ()s, like Am(C6add9), that means you play the Am and hammer on or pull off to form that other chord. In that case, it means you'll lift your fingers off the 3rd and 4th strings to form the C6add9 chord. The ones I suggest are just that: suggestions. You can make up your own, or just play the standard Am, Em, G, Am, Dm, etc... it'll still sound good, but it'll be better if you mix it up a bit. All chords are obviously relative to capo. Same for the chord charts down below Capo III [Intro] Am(C6add9) Em(E7sus4) G(G6) Am(Asus4) Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)GNow (320003@1)I'm lost Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1) AmNow (x02210@1)I'm lost [Bridge] Dm Am(C6add9) Em(7) Am Dm Am(C6add9) Em(7) [Verse 1] Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmLast (022000@1)night I heard lepers Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmFlinch (022000@1)like birth defects Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmIts (022000@1)musk was fecal in origin Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmAs (022000@1)the words dribbled off of its chin Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) It said I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) I'm lost Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1) AmNow (x02210@1)I'm lost [Chorus 1] Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)GNow (320003@1)I'm lost Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1) AmNow (x02210@1)I'm lost [Bridge] Dm Am(C6add9) Em(7) Am Dm Am(C6add9) Em(7) [Verse 2] Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmDolls (022000@1)wreck the minced meat of pupils Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmCast (022000@1)in oblong arms length Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmThe (022000@1)hooks had been picking their scabs where Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) EmWolves (022000@1)hide in the company of men Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) It said I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) I'm lost [Chorus 2] Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)GNow (320003@1)I'm lost Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)GNow (320003@1)I'm lost Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)AmNow (x02210@1)I'm lost [Bridge] Amadd9* Em* Fmaj7b5* Em* (x3) -- madd9* Em* Fmaj7b5* Em* Are you peeking in the red Amadd9* Em* Fmaj7b5* Em* Perforated at the neck Amadd9* Em* Fmaj7b5* Em* [Bridge] Amadd9* What of this mongrel architect Em* A broken arm of soon will set Fmaj7b5* Past present and future tense Em* Clipside of the pinkeye fountain Amadd9* What of this mongrel architect Em* A broken arm of soon will set Fmaj7b5* Past present and future tense Em* Clipside of the pinkeye fountain [Bridge] (softly this time) Amadd9* Em* Fmaj7b5* Em* [Chorus 3] Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)GNow (320003@1)I'm lost Am Em G Am(Asus4) Now I'm lost Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1) AmNow (x02210@1)I'm lost [Bridge] Dm* C E7 Am [Outro] Dm* CIt's (x32010@1)been said E7 (020130@1) AmA (x02210@1)long time ago Dm* CYou'll (x32010@1)be the first E7 (020130@1) AmAnd (x02210@1)last to know Dm* C (x32010@1) E7 (020130@1) AmAahh (x02210@1) You'll never know Dm* C (x32010@1) E7 (020130@1) AmAahh (x02210@1) You'll never know Dm* C (x32010@1) E7 (020130@1) AmAahh (x02210@1) You'll never know Dm* C (x32010@1) E7 (020130@1) AmAahh (x02210@1) You'll never know Am (Asus4) Chords: Amadd9* 0 0 5 7 x x Em* 0 0 4 5 x x Fmaj7b5* 0 0 2 3 x x Dm* (barre chord) 5 6 7 7 5 x
