Century
by +Live+
transcribed by Andy Dufresne (dufresne@deskmedia.com)
This is one of the cooler songs on the new album. Tune down � step
to Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. All chords are written as they would be
played in standard tuning (ie- the F# is technically an F). I would
make a chord key, but that would take a while and you should all
know these chords anyway. Ok, now the song:
[E]Everybody's here[F#]
puke stinks like[E] beer
this could be a [F#]city
this could be a graveyar[E]d
you stole my ide[F#]a
you stole my ide[E]a[F#]
[E]everybody's anxio[F#]us
for the coming of the cr[E]isis
the collapse of the just[F#]ice
I can smell your armpits[E]
you stole my ide[F#]a
you stole my ide[E]a
you stole my ide[F#]a
CHORUS:
[F#]this puke stinks like be[G]er and everybody's here
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]let's lay [F#]waste to this [E]century[G] [F#] [E]
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]return to nothin[E]g
[E]everybody's anxious[F#]
the crowd is all around [E]us
the followers of[F#] Aldous
are spinning with their mesc[E]aline
a man behind the altar s[F#]creams
you stole my ide[E]a
you were my idea[F#] [E]
(CHORUS)
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]let's lay wa[F#]ste to this [E]century[G] [F#] [E]
BRIDGE:
[F#]on the edge of a[G] kiss, smack on the lips[A]
dangled with ton[Cm]gue
[F#]on the edge of a[G] peace that can't stand [A]low
and won't stand [Cm]tall
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]let's lay wa[F#]ste to this [E]century[G] [F#] [E]
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]return to not[E]hing, an[G]d help [F#]me
[G]it's amazing what w[F#]e can do with lo[E]ve
[G]with some matche[F#]s and gas[E]oline, [G]do wi[F#]th love[E]
[G]it's ama[F#]zing what we can d[E]o with lo[G]ve[F#] [E]

"Century" by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi
This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.
Transcribed by spider@olemiss.edu
Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.
This is real easy, but here's one of the main chords he uses:
F#7 sus4/E (F sharp 7 suspended 4 with an E bass, I know, I know,
it sounds a lot harder than it actaully is. It's
basically an open E chord moved up two frets.)
eb:---0---- Bb:---0---- Gb:---2---- Db:---4---- Ab:---4---- Eb:---0----
Verse:
(using Chorus)
[E] Everybody's he[F#7]re..[sus4/E]. (simply repeat these two chords for the verse,
and listen to the song to get the correct
strumming pattern.)
Chorus:
(using distortion)
this puke stinks like beer,[B]
[(B)]and everybody's here, so
[A]come on, come on, come on,[G]
let's lay[F#] wast[E]e to this
century.[B]..[A] [B]
[A]come on, come on, come on,[G]
return to[F#] noth[E]ing...
(again, listen for the strumming pattern; there's some chunk-a-chunk-a
muting on the A chord. Also, all the other chorus' all simply extended
versions of the first, so listen for those changes, too)
Bridge:
[F#] On the edge, of a kiss, s[G]mack on the lips[A]
dangled with tongue[D]
[F#] On the edge, of a peace, [G]that can't stand low[A]
and won't stand tall![B]
That's pretty much all the parts to this song; just piece them together
and have fun!
