Hey y'all. Great song, very simple. Chords originally written for the keys, with guitar accompaniment. I know that this has been tabbed a few times, but IMHO they're wrong, so try this one on for size. The whole song consists of four chords. C Bm F G. (not C Em Am G as commonly submitted). As always listen to the album version on "Oh my Gawd!!!" for rhythm etc. Slow and steady burn of intensity is key. For authentic ending, hang on C for few, grab whatever's handy and smash some drums and slam the top of your piano, scream/ laugh a little bit and generally get your weird on. 4/4 Piano: C Bm F G x 4 Verse 1 C Bm F G Sometimes I don't know what to think about the world C Bm F G When this C Bm F G guy is burnin' up in the street with gasoline Guitar fades/ trickles in: C Bm F G And the C Bm F G flames show no mercy... C Bm F G Chorus: F Cause when you really need someone to talk to you, F It doesn't always work out like, its supposed to... But you can C Bm F G Love yer brain C Bm F G Even if it slips, down the drain And I said C Bm F G "Man, I'm not some drug addict... But a C Bm F G Person's gotta have something to keep 'em from going insane". That's it. Lather rinse repeat. Verse 2: Well, this man he kills this other man Who's killed this other man, so it's okay And this fourteen year old's sittin' in the electric chair Smilin' and smokin' a cigarette So I guess I was right all along readin' Mad magazine Questions/ concerns: zacharymiller1@gmail.com
