             FEAR AND LOATHING IN MAHWAH, NJ - Titus Andronicus
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

This isn't 100% and it mainly only covers Patrick's guitar part, but there are
so few Titus Andronicus tabs out there I thought I'd give it a shot.

This song's in F, and Patrick plays it with a capo on  5, but the other guys just
play it in F without the capo. I'll write the chords relative, but for reference
if you want to play this open, "C" = F, "Am" = Dm, "F" = Bb, "G" = C.


CAPO ON 5
CHORDS RELATIVE

Intro riff:

Patrick mixes this with strumming, and it's inconsistent across recorded and live
versions as to which parts he strums and picks, but basically just strum around
the C chord and focus on picking out this melody:

C (with intro riff)
Why do you do the things you've done

and how dumb would you have to be
                                          Amto (x02210@1)do them again like I know you're going to?

C (with intro riff)
If you're the poet you say you are

and beauty's in everything you see,
                                                      Amthen (x02210@1)how can love exist in a world run by people like you? 

        F (133211@1)                            CBecause (x32010@1)when there's suffering, you're there.
     G (320003@1)                           C (x32010@1)G (320003@1) CFrom (x32010@1)southern trees, you hang them in the air.

Fuck you!

C (x32010@1)CYou (x32010@1)took a heart with so much room for love 

and filled it with hatred and rage 
                                                          Amuntil (x02210@1)there was nothing left but for it to shrivel up and die.

CPeople (x32010@1)will tell you that if you don't

love your neighbor, then you don't love God, 
                                                       Ambut (x02210@1)no god of mine would put light in such unrighteous eyes.

           G (320003@1)                          C (x32010@1)G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)would look more like a noose if held up to the light
           F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)          Ambecause (x02210@1)we betray each other in dreams every night.
