written & performed by live, lyrics by Edward Kowalczyk

Ok, this is the first one of these i've done, so I don't know if it's
going to be any good, but here goes:
This is Played tuned down half a step, like most of the songs on secret
Samadhi.It's fairly basic, only a couple of cords strummed for the intro
and power chords for the chorus. Basically, there are 3 parts to this
song, the Verse, chorus, and the bridge.
Part 1:VERSE
This has 2 chords strummed fairly fast (listening to the song helps)and
a B chord added at the end.
[E] [F#]
---x-- ------
-xx--- xxxxxx
------ ---x-- ------ xx----
[E] Everybody's h[F#]ere, puke stinks like b[E]eer
This could be a c[F#]ity, this could be a grav[E]eyard,
you stole my i[F#]dea, you stole my i[E]dea,[F#]
[E] Everybody's an[F#]xious, for the coming of the cr[E]isis,
the collapse of the ju[F#]stice, i can smell your ar[E]mpits,
you stole my i[F#]dea, you stole my i[E]dea, you stole my i[F#]dea,
this puke stinks like b[B]eer, & everybody's here,
PART 2:CHORUS
This is fairly basic, just 3 chords, which can be played as power
chords, or a full bar chord. The 3 Chords are:
xx[G]xxxx xxx[A]xxx 5fr. xxxx[B]xx 7fr.
---x-- ---x-- ---x-- -xx--- -xx--- -xx--- ------ ------ ------
These are the bar versions of these chords, you can play them as a
open Chord, but it's easier to play them as a bar.
So come[A] on, come[A] on, come[A] on,
[G] let's [A]lay was[E]te to, this century,
come[A] on, come[A] on, come[A] on,
[G] ret[A]urn to not[E]hin, & help[E] me,
PART 3:BRIDGE
The bridge has 4 Chords, which I play as bar chords, but that's just my
Personal preferance, any part of this song can be played as an open
chord. The 4 chords are already tabbed here, so this is how it goes:
[F#] On the edge,[F#] of a kiss,[G] sm[G]ack on the lips,
[A] [A]dangled with tou[B]nge,
[F#] On the edge,[F#] of a peace,[G] that c[G]an't stand low,
[A] & [A]won't stand ta[B]ll
NOTE: All the strumming for the bridge is evenly spaced apart, the
lyrics are not in time with the guitar.I have tried to fit the chords
in with where they go with the words, this tab is not written in time.
For the last part, it's amazing what we can, do with love, it's the
same pattern as the chorus, just G, A, E.
Well, that's about it, the rest of the song repeats through the chorus
again, and the second verse has the same pattern as the first. If you
listen to the song you shouldn't have any trouble fitting it in with
the words. If you have any suggestions, or want to fix up anything
that's wrong with this tab, please E-mail me at penybryn@vsoft.com.au
