MIDTOWN
"SO LONG AS WE KEEP OUR BODIES NUMB, WE'RE SAFE"
FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW
TRACK 13
this my favorite midtown song, and it's up there in my top 5 greatest songs of all time. i'm very surprised
nobody else went and tabbed it out. ah well. i'm almost 100% positive this is all correct, and even if i'm
wrong, i've still given you enough to work with. i'm aware that there is a lead guitar in the verse and in
the chorus as well, but i just can't make out the individual notes and chords. it's too incoherent. oh well.
i also didn't bother to tab out the piano parts, because i just plain old didn't feel like it. maybe i'll get
around to it later.
KEY:
-(0)- = optional note. i like to hit it, but it's not necessary.
-9x-- = hit once and don't let it ring.
--x-- = empty note. make it sound scratchy.
-6/7- = just note that this counts as one beat.
