------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIRD WITH A HOLE IN THE STOMACH - Buckethead The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Chris Powers Email: [email protected] Key: E Minor Pentatonic (with some blues/funk flair) BPM: 100 Tuning: Drop D Hope you all love it, and if anyone covers it, please show me, I'd love to see it. Send questions or random fortune cookie quotes my way at [email protected]. This was all by yours truly, CanasClone. Legend at the end. NOTE: This is one guitar format, but Buckethead has two guitars on this, or at least two outputs with different effects. In other words, this first part and the weird bend part 01:46 aren't going to sound the same because the muted notes and semi-harmonic notes are tones.

uses a 23 or 24 frettered guitar and slides the b string or a digitec whammy pedal. Probably the pedal since he's usually on a Les Paul. Seeing as I'm a Les Paul, this is written for 22 frets. e|-10-12-(15)b17-----15p12----(14)b15-(14)b15----12-----------------------------------| B|-------------------------15-----------------------15-12-----------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------(14)b15br14p12----14p12-----| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------14-------14--| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------12----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-12-(14)b16----14p12----14p12-15-14h15p14p12----14p12----15-14p12----15-14p12-------| D|---------------------14----------------------14-------14----------14----------14----| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------12------------| G|-15-14p12----------------------------------------12-14p12-15-14p12-------14~\-------| D|----------14p12----12----------------12----12h14-------------------14---------------| A|----------------14----14p12-12-12h14----14------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-(12)b14-12p10---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------12------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------14-12-14-15p12----(14)b15-12-------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------14------------14-17\14-12-------12----/12-12p14---| A|-----------------------------------------------------------14-12----12-------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------/14-16p14-12----14~-14p12-(12)b14~~~-\-------------------| D|-------------------------------------------14-----------------------/13h16p13h16-------| A|-12p10-12/14~~-14p12-10-12/10---------------------------------------------------h16p14-| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| T e|-------------------------h19-----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------h14--------------------------------------------------| G|------------T-----Th15-----------------------------------------------------| D|-h16p13h16h18p16h18--------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hit me!
