Intro
open strings. The verse goes like this:
1: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 5 4
2: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 5 4
3: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 5 4
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 9 4
2: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 9 4
3: 0 0 2/4 0 2/4 0 0 /7 7 7 7 9 4
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Then I think there's another part like this:
1: /12 12 12 12 10 10 10 10 4 4 4 4 7 7 7 7
2: /12 12 12 12 10 10 10 10 4 4 4 4 7 7 7 7
3: /12 12 12 12 10 10 10 10 4 4 4 4 7 7 7 7
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1: 0 0 0
2: 0 0 0
3: 0 0 0
4: 2/4 5 5
5: 0 0 0
6: 2/4 5 5
That's basically it. Don't worry about wether or not your guitar is exactly
in tune when playing this. Beck's never is. :)
Here's the song off of the C#GC rarities CD....the song is called Bogusflow
(duh)
F# B C#
Monkey see, monkey die
F# B C#
F#
Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
F# B C# F#
Cause it's squallin' and it's solid and it's
B C# F#
Completely rancid and beautiful,
B C# F#
Like a forcefield of multiplying meat,
B C# F#
Cut a hole in the floor just to see
B C# F# B C#
Just how close to hell we're standing.
Time shoots forward in your skull
Scattered to the four winds, trapped in a bucket
Riding lamposts moldy toast
Excitement level.....zero
Rock the casba (sp?) bring the noise
Amplified dishwashers exploring the boring to the core
people with cordless personalities
runnin round in new wave bionic jogging suits
California....white boy sound
Rocket powered and nailed to the ground
New age old age, totally lame
Straight to the middle of the road
Rewind the tape, play the whole thing backwards
with the sound completely turned off
Every once in a while....when i play the F# chord (it sounds best to play the
standard chords, not power chords) i strum it a few times then hammer on
the note on the G# string....listen to the song and maybe you'll understand
what i'm talking about. It's not critical, but it adds to the song.
G# lot of times i suck at guitar tabs, so if i've got anything wrong write me
and tell me, or if ya just wanna say "good job, here's 5 bucks" you can do
that too. :^)
later,
For the the chords on this song I find it best to play the chords by
sliding chords with open strings up. For instance for A,A#,B,B and C
I play the G# chord up the neck. I do the same on the D# string except
when I play the normal F# chord. I don't know whether it's tuned up or
down. Some of the lyrics are probably wrong but then, you never know
with Beck. (I've put the lyrics that I'm pretty sure are wrong but
can't work out anyway in brackets. If anyone knows them then lucky
you.) Most of chords last for one bar, where they only last half a
bar I've put (1/2) after them, it probably just makes things more
confusing.
4 bars of A (listen to the song to get the rythm)

Cyanide Breath Mint by Beck can be found on the disc One Foot in the
Grave.
It's tuned down to D, so it's
C# F# B E G# C#
I just wrote the chords down as if the guitar were in E. This seems
to matchup pretty well with the CD, so just listen and strum as you see fit.
G# E C# F#
Definitely, this is the wrong place to be
E B
there's blood on the futon,
D# G#
there's a kid drinkin' fire.

E B
give them a branch.

When they want you to get it,
E B
chew on the grass.
D# E
I know, I know
C# F#
'cause they told me to tell you
E B
there's nothing to tell you,
D# G#
there's nothing to sell you.
(Same chords as first part)
In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,
burning equipment, decomposing.
Cool off your jets,
take off your sweats,
I got a funny feeling
they got plastic in the afterlife.
(Same chords as second part:)
When they want you to cry,
leap into the sky.
When they suck your mind,
like a pigeon you fly.
I know, I know,
it's the positive people
running from their time
looking for some feeling.
Tuning: Standard (although C#rop D works good too)
Intro
D-----------------------------
A---------------3------------- x 4
E---0-----0--5----------------
There's not really any chords, just the bass playing the intro =
but this is how i play it:
Verse 1:
D# G# B
Somethings wrong cause my mind is fading
D# G# B
And everywhere I look theres a dead end waiting
D# G# B
Temperatures droppin at the rotten oasis
D# G# B
stealing kisses from the lepers faces
Intro 4x
D# G# B
Heads are hangin from the garbage man trees
D# G# B
mouthwash jukebox gasoline
D# G# B
pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets =
D# G# B
smiling eyes whipping out of their sockets
for that little synth. part do this:
e---3/8----------------------------
B---3/8----------------------------
G---3/8----------------------------
w/bass doing intro in background
Chorus
D# G# B
Got a devil's haircut in my mind (x 4)
the little ending figure at the end of the chorus goes something like this:
e-------------------------------------------------------------------
B-3--2--1----0-1-2-3-4-3----3--2--1--0--2-0-2-----------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 2:
D# G# B
Lovin' machines on the sympathy crutches
D# G# B
discount orgies on the dropout buses
D# G# B
hitchin a ride with the bleedin' noses
D# G# B
comin to town with the brief case blues
the synth part:
e--------------------------------
B---3b-----------------------------
G---3b-----------------------------
Chorus
then for the little interlude do this for awhile:
e---5------------------5--------------------
B----------9/4-------0--------9/4-----------
for the 3rd verse you can just play the =
intro along with the bass or the synth part:
(you have to listen real closely to hear the synth)
for the 1st 2 lines of the verse play this
D----------------------------------------
A--2-----2-------2-2---------------------
E----------------------------------------
for the 3rd line play the same thing on the C# string
for the 4th line go back to G# string =
you really have to listen to get a feel for this
play the chorus chords over the feedback
back to chorus
w/ending figure
End
play intro along with ending figure for first 2 bars =
then drop the ending figure while he's screaming
the last time he screams drop the guitar
And that's it!
I play open chords throughout this songs
I just love tabbing obscure Beck songs! Here's one off of the Loser single,
and IMHO, one of the best Beck songs ever...
Tune your bass to C#rop D and tune your guitar down 1 whole step.
"My friend picked me up..."
Bass
1:
2:
3:
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 /5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
play that 3x then
1:
2:
3:
4: 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2
That was pretty much the bassline for this entire part...the guitar plays
feedback during that part, then for the chorus it does this:
"There's a Fume"
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5 F#5
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5 F#5 A#5
The Heavy part is pretty much this:
F#5 G#5 D#5
with the corresponding bassline.

Yet another beautiful acoustic Beck tune, from his essential independent
release, One Foot In The Grave. It's a simple tune, so learn it quick and
impress the one you secrectly love(you can substitue "girl" with "boy" if
that's your gig, y'know?). Maybe they'll love you for it.
(Standard tuning will work for this one, though I think it might be tuned
down a step. Try what ever works best.)

with much help from John McCain.
Here's a sprawling yet immensely jolly epic from the current "Slack
Laureate" of these United States: Beck. If you liked "Mexico", this one's
for you. You can hear this cut on his cassette-only release from a few
years back, Golden Feelings, released on the independent label Sonic Enemy.
This will have to do until the new C#GC album hits the streets, huh? By the
way, I've placed the chords over the lyric that marks the progression.
However, the last time I uploaded a file to Nevada, things shifted out of
place. Beware and enjoy.
Spoken word intro:
What we're talking about here is kind of a...it's a...Heartland Feeling.
Mellencamp, you know, kind of a Mellen-feeling.
Ok. What you gotta get together is a Heartland folk singer:
John Couger Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seeger;
That type of feeling: a Mellen-feeling.
You know, a real powerful, approving music
Of a Heartland quality, just powerful straight-forward music.
And if you can't get just the right type of feeling
Find someone who will pass and change them.

This was kinda a spur of the moment type thing, but I was listening to One
Foot In The Grave this afternoon, and this track came on, and listening I
thought "this is easy as shit!" so I grabbed my guitar and tabbed it out.

Lyrics:
Well there aint nobody left to impress
and everyone's kissing their own hands
its 666 on the kichen floor
aint no fire in the pan
i get lonesome (4x)
so glad to be a slab
stiff as a stick on a board
i get thoughts and dirty socks
piled in the corner
i get lonesome (4x)
Getting fat on your own fears
bring that beer over here
i stomp on the ground
just to make a sound
i get lonesome
TABBED BY Rusty Sweetser
The entire song works with just F# and C. =
here are the words. =
Well its all in your mind
its all in your mind
its all in your mind
its all in your mind
And i wanted to be
And i wanted to be
your good friend
well i can not believe
youve got a devil up your sleeve
and hes talking to me
and i can not believe
and i wanted to be
and i wanted to be
your good friend
well you're all scared and stiff
a sick stolen gift
and the people you're with
are all scared and stiff
and i wanted to be
and i wanted to be
your good friend
acoustic guitar
basically just two chords....
G# C#
I been driftin' along in the same stale shoes
G# C#
Loose ends tyin' the noose in the back of my mind

If you thought that you were makin' your way
C#
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
G#
Put it together
C#
It's a strange invitation
that should give you the idea. when you listen to the part with just vox
and guitar, you can hear it well.
note: play all these chords as bar chords on the low D# string
(play open D# chord).
intro: hang on A# chord
verse:
A# G D# A#
You only got one finger left and it's pointin' at the door
A# G D# A#
And you're takin' for granted what the lord's laid on the floor
A# G D# A#

Throw your meal ticket out the window, put your skeletons in jail

(little drum break)
hammer-ons and pull-offs on the fifth and seventh frets of the A# string,
ending up with a slide to the ninth fret.
(repeat verse, diff. lyrics)
(repeat chorus, diff. lyrics)
interlude:
A# C# G# F D#
A# C# G# F D#
Aurele aurele aurele aurele
do that a few times then:
(this part is a little incomplete)
C# --0-2-0-0-2-4-2
G# -2-----2-------
and while one guitar does that, start doing this:
D# -5-5-5---5-5-5--
A# -7-7-7-5-7-7-7-5
F# --------7-------7 (repeat and fade)
goin' back to houston....
I think that the fuzzy guitar you hear in the front throughout the song is
just playing the root notes of the chords. I didn't really try to figure it
out, though.
G# fairly simple song, nonetheless, there was a request so:
It's in drop D, so, do all that.
The intro/verse part is played with a slide and goes as follows
e---------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------
D---0-0--12-0-12---12\------0-0--12-0-12---12\------------------
A---0-0--12-0-12---12\\-----0-0--12-0-12---12\\-----------------
D---0-0--12-0-12---12\\\----0-0--12-0-12---12\\\----------------
That continues over and over through out.
The other part, that is played over the slide part is as
follows:
e---------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------7-7-7-5-5-----------7-7-7-8-8-----------------------
G---7-7-9-7-------------7-7-9-7---------------------------------
And that is also repeated over and over at different parts.
Ok, this is a simplified version of "mexico", beck's song on the Rare on Air
compilation album. It's missing the cool little solo parts in it, but i'm
not THAT good at guitar yet. if anyone knows them, please post em!!!
G#m F#
G#m
Come gather round me people, here's a story you never heard
G#m F# G#m

G#m F#
G#m
Thought we'd get some money, we thought that me might go
G#m F# G#m
Spent the weekend pleasant, down in mexico
G#m F# G#m
I was workin at Mcdonalds, doing the late night run
G#m F# G#m

G#m F# G#m
said gimme all your money, and three big macs to go
G#m F# G#m
I stuffed them all in a sack and i ducked down below
Well the boss was angry when he found out that i didn't call the police
I guess i was kinda nervous there was a warrant out on me
concerning some jaywalkin tickets i couldn't afford to pay
needless to say i got the axe that same day
Well me being outta work just then, i couldn't afford to go home
mom said if i lost this job i've have to go out on my own
so i went over to dave's house and i got really stoned
called up some girls but none of them were home
Steve came over and he brought some alcohol
we all got really depressed, just staring at the wall
we thought we'd get some money, we thought that we might go
spent the weekend pleasant, down in mexico
Steve's dad had a huntin rifle, and we went and picked it up
we stopped at a 7-11 to try out our luck
we pulled out that huntin rifle, but the counter guy just laughed
as he pulled out an uzi, we turned and hauled ass.
We ran so fast, till we came to the Mcdonalds where i used to work
we walked up to the drive thru and gave my boss a jerk
said give us all you money and 3 big macs to go
and suck on this you weasel, we're going to mexico
When we got there we got really wasted, dave got a case of the runs
we all got hungover and we were getting low on funds
steve and dave called there parents and took the bus back home.
me I got a job at Mcdonalds.....down in Mexico
I suck at tabs so if this is wrong tell me.
fellow beck fans!!!!! we need more tabs out on nevada!!!! it's
anything will do, but his earlier/rarer stuff would be great.....and we need
lyrics too!!!

And I play with the fire in the stove,

When my eyes peel out and my fingertips get cold,

Well it's real and it's fake,
F# F#
And it's flaming like a steak,

Oh honey you knew,

My one and only blur,

Unglued, depressed,

The meatloaf in my chest,
F# F#
Personality test,
C# D(1/2) C(1/2)
I failed with the best,
F# F#
And I stomped and I stormed,

And I passed out in your dorm,
F# F#
When you hussled me outside,
C# D(1/2) C(1/2)
I couldn't catch a ride,
B B F# F#
Will the subway train speak to me now,
B B F# F#
I'm browsing through the supermarket town,
B B F# F#
And the girls don't talk when I'm around,

I'm feeling bad even though nothing's wrong. F# F# B

I'm going to put lyrics in here just so that you know where the chords
are supposed to go. I'm not saying these are the actual lyrics, just
the way I hear them.
I'm not sure whether this is played on guitar or on distorted bass. I'm
guessing there's probably a little bit of both. Play everything as power
chords, and distort as much as much as possible. Have fun.
Because I matched the chords with the words it may be a little hard to
follow along with (and may be off, too) so here's the tab for how these
parts go.

Repeat the above progession for each line..untill...
B F# E G#m

B E G#m
Then go back to the begining...
The ending is:
E G#m
For all that it+s worth
That's it....
F# B F# B E B and then repeats.
Intro Riff (clean tone)
D# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
A# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
F# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
C# -----------------------------------------------------------7-\-6-------
G# -------7/9-\7---5------5/7-\5-4--2--------7/9-\7---5-------------------
D# --0--------------------------------------------------------------------
For the little harmonica bit, the notes are D# and A.
Main Riff (distorted)
D# --------------------------------------------------- if you want to do the
A# --------------------------------------------------- little horn bursts
F# --7-9--9--9--9----7-9--9--7------------------------ that appear at the end
C# --7-9--9--9--9----7-9--9--7------------------------ of this riff sometimes,
G# --5-7--7--7--7----5-7--7--5------------------------ it's a B5.
D# ---------------------------------------------------
G# few things go on in the bridge part. First, a clean guitar
plays this.
D# -----------------------------------------------------------
A# -----------------------------------------------------------
F# ---------------------6/8\6---------------------------------
C# --6----9-/11----6----7/9\7----6----9-/11----6----6/8-------
G# --7----10/12----7-------------7----10/12----7----7/9--9----
D# ------------------------------------------------------10---
For the distorted part, just play the same things but with a
distorted bass playing the root notes an octave lower.
When the bridge is over, a little keyboard (maybe guitar?) comes in
and plays this:
D# ---------------------------------------------------
A# ---------------------------------------------------
F# ---------------------------------------------------
C# -10---------8---------6----------------------------
G# -------9---------8---------------------------------
D# ---------------------------------------------------
Repeat the intro riff, then make a lot of noise.
I'm not going to tab out the synth bit at the end, but if anyone else
wants to, feel free to add it.
I'm only going to do two of the parts here, the main riff and what the
bass is playing during the chorus. I'm not going to try to figure out
the slide bits, I would just screw around in A# for those parts and see
what you get. Here's enough to get you started though.
MAIN VERSE RIFF
D# ------------------------------------------------------------
A# ------------------------------------------------------------
F# ------------------------------------------------------------
C# -------7-6-----------4-3------------------------------------
G# ------------------------------------------------------------
D# ---7-------------5------------------------------------------
During the chorus, the bass plays D# C# B, descending from the 7th fret
on the G# string. You play the D# and C# notes something like eight times
each, and the A# like 15 or 16. At the end of the song, the bass just
moves up the neck from B. Enjoy.
This BD is wicked cool. If you like Beck BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!
This is one of the best songs on the CD, IMHO. The guitar is
acoustic and in the background. This sorta sounds wrong when you
play it along with the CD, but I think Beck might tune down or
something like that like he usually does. Anyway, if anyone
knows a better way to play this, please post it!
D#m G# B
Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy, ozzy..
And you just play that for the whole song. If anyone knows the
lyrics, please e-mail them to me, or post them.

This song comes from the One Foot in the Grave album on K records.
If you don't have it, I would highly recomend its immediate purchase.
These chords are played by hitting the lowest note first followed by a
few strums, and that pattern is repeated. Your best bet is to listen to
the BD for the exact rhythm. Also, there may be some pulloffs/hammerons
around the G# chord (Perhaps a second guitar?). Anyway, this is pretty
much it. Any corrections or additions will be greatly appreciated.
Intro: C#
C# G#
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
F# E
The world is your oyster and the trashbags are your kids
C# G#
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin through the sky
F# E
and every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
Chorus(kind of):
G#7 C#
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
G#7 C#
the buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
C# G#
There's a police siren singin like a tiger with no skin
F# E
the sewer drain is glowin and I don't know what state I'm in
C# G#
And the river is on fire and there's chemicals and debris
F# E
All the roads are blocked off it's just too hard to see
G#7 C#
So cancel my appointment and set up a whole new show
G#7 C#
'Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
D-A-G-E
(Harmonica solo over verse chords 1x)
C# G#
So get me a plate of money and get me a blanket and a chair
F# E
The limitations are limitless they're floating through the air
G#7 C#
'Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
G#7 C#
And there's nothin that I wouldn't talk about with the clearest
dream that ever drifted by...
Fade on verse chords with harmonica and sounds
Hope you enjoy it
-Zak Watson
The guitar on the album is a little bit off standard tuning, so you'll
probably have to retune if you want to play along. I think it sounds
better to tune the whole guitar down a whole step so you can play the
F-Eb-C# in open position (as G-F-E).
ton[C]ight the c[G]ity is f[F]ull of whores
and a[C]ll the toi[F]lets are overfl[C]owing
there's sho[C]pping ma[G]lls coming o[F]ut of the w[C]alls
as we w[C]alk out am[F]ong the ma[G]nure
[D]that's why [F][Eb]
I pay no mind [F][Eb][C]
give the finger to the rock and roll singer
as he's dancing upon your paycheck
the sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
like a giant dildo crushing the sun
that's why
I pay no mind
I sleep in slime
I just got signed
so get out your lead pipe pipe dreams
get out your ten-foot flags
the insects are huge and the poison's all been used
and the drugs won't kill your day job
that's why
I pay no mind
This is another terriffic song off of Stereopathetic Soul Manure. Really, I
can't say enough nice things about this CD...GET IT, GET IT, GET IT!!!!

repeat again and again over verses and chorus
lyrics are as follows (by memory, sorry if anything's wrong):
you've been so long
your blind eyes are gone
your old bones are on their own
so take off your coat
put a song in your throat
let the deadbeats pound all around
Chorus:
we will go
nowhere we know
we don't have to talk at all (till we find our one and all)
hand me downs
fly paper towns
stuck together one and all
bargains you drag
buckets and bags
and all your belongings
your train's in the sand
ramshackle land
let the rats watch the races

then comes that strange strumming part. Use some power chords. it
seems to sound different every time. i like to use Ab, A and D.
praises get spent
your trick face is bent
pigsties and prizes
cause there's no kind of well
you're suiting yourself
you leave yourself behind
Chorus
finish with the solo twice again
Intro: Hit an open C# string and strum C# a few times, repeat twice.
Verses: The chords are as follows: A\\E\\G\\D\\ Strike the low
string of each chord once before strumming a few times. Timing is as
follows.
G# D# F# C#
Row----boat, row me to the shore
G# D# F# C#
She----don't, want to be my friend no more
Chorus: Hold strumming the last C# chord from the end of the verse then
go into a C\G\\\\D\\\\ until the last line which changes to a
D\Am\\C\\D\\\\
B F# C#
Pick me up--, give me some food to eat
B F# C#

This is a cool song off one of Beck's indie albums, Stereopathetic Soul
Manure. If you don't have it, I suggest getting it. The chord progression
is the same throughout the song, except they add a banjo at some point.
Since I don't play banjo, or have any desire to, I will just give you the chords.

D# A#
Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick
G# D#
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard
I was getting kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard
There was aphids on the lettuce and I ate every one
And after I was done the salsa melted off my tongue
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
And the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat
My stomach was tremblin' and I broke out in a rash
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash
So I went and found a hose tore off all my clothes
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose
Some old lady came along and she flat out was a freak
So she beat me with her handbag 'til I could hardly speak
I was lying there naked my body badly bruised
In a pool of my own blood unconscious and confused
When the cops came and got me and threw me in their van
And I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand
They took me to the judge his eyes were glowing red
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead
The sheriff was a hell-hound with fangs and claws
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls
The air was getting thick the smoke was getting thicker
The judge read the verdict said Cut off his head
Well they placed me on the altar they raised up the axe
My head was about to explode when I noticed the Marshall stacks
I noticed all the smoke machines cameras and lights
Some guy with a microphone runnin' around dancin' in tights and I noticed
The crew and the band playin' down below
And I realized I was in a rock'n'roll [video]
So I went and joined the band and I went out on tour
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure
I made out with the groupies started fires backstage
Made a lot of money and I gave it all away
Well the band got killed so I started a solo career
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell
Cookin' with the devil, fryin' down in hell
Another spur of the moment thing, here is the bass tab to Soul Suckin'
Jerk...tune your bass down 1/2 step and you're ready to begin!
Main Bassline
1:
2: 2 2
3: 0^2^0

And for those of you (like me) who prefer the Reject version on the Loser
Single, here is the bassline to that:
1:

And the heavier part goes like this:

Here is a fairly simple and very underrated song off of Beck's Mellow Gold CD.
Main Bassline (most of the song)

There is some weird sitar stuff in the back of this, but feedback works
just fine in place of it. :)

Play twice, then the outro is just E A F# A
The End!!
Ok, so my brother gave me this to add. It should be alright. It is purely
a functional tab but it is mostly correct. Any mistakes in it are
probably in my interpretation of what i have got written on paper in front
of me.
The song is in standard tunning.
There are 3 simple phrases
1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The phrases are in the following order:
1 2 1 2 (chords start) 1 3
Repeting 1 and 3 throughout.
The chords are
for phrase 1 and 2
C# G# F#
for phrase 3
D#
Ok that`s it. Enjoy.
This isn't as difficult as it sounds, since even though a slide is used, it
is played in standard tuning.
The intro has two guitar tracks and numerous vocal tracks. I tabbed it for
one guitar, since the two parts are pretty much the same.
Intro (w/slide):
3: 14 7 14\ 7 (7)/(14) 14\ (14) 14
4: 14 14\(7) 7/(14) (14)\ 7 (7) (7)/(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\ (7)
3: /(14) 14\ /(14) 14\ /(14) 14\ /(14) 14\ /(9)~~~
4: /(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\(7) 7/(14) 14\(7) 7/(9)~~~
(turn on destortion, get some feedback, make noise, then)
Rest of song (w/out slide):
4: 7 7 /12 12 12
5: 7 7 /12 12 12
6: 5 5 /10 10 10
play 8x then:
3: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
4: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
5: 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
The song completely falls apart at 1 minute 28 seconds. Make noise from
there out.
its a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
its an everlasting its a ghettoblasting
on the wonderwheel i got my thunderpeel
i made an effort to get just what i deserve
i got on my strap i got fatso belt
i was jumping around it was your mother coming down
in the flick of a chick i got to take my pick
betwen a slime and a fist just a big happy dog
I'm taking morphine!!!
now im rolling in sweat with a loaf of cold bread
and a taco in my jeans on the ??? it glides
its got such a good thighs i got taken by surprise
with the flavored flavored donuts
its a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
its an everlasting its a ghettoblasting
on the wonderwheel i got a thunderpeel
i made an effort to get just what i deserve
THE END!!
Note: The guitar on this is tuned down one step, as it is on a lot of songs
on this album. Is anyone has transcribed any more Beck songs, let me know.
The first guitar part on the verses is as follows
The second guitar part is just kind of improvised
