Song: A Boy And His Machine Gun
Band: Matthew Good Band
Album: Beautiful Midnight
Tabbed by: Devil Monkey
This whole song is tuned down a half step, so keep that in mind. You won't be
able to actually play along unless you tune down, cause it's not possible, you'd
have to play a half-step up. Anyway...
Verse:
B5 B5/Bb? B5 B5/Bb
Don't move, stay right where you are
B5 B5/Bb B5 B5/Bb
Talking can only give you away
E5 C#m5
And there's so nothing to say
(Same pattern)
The voices say hello
Imprisoned, they're invisible
E5 C#m5
But we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike
This is boring, all we talk about is you
C'mon give me a reason
E5 C#m5
A boy and his machine gun
Chorus:
E B G#m F#
If you're fi-nished strugglin'
E B G#m F#
Are ya fr-ee tonight?
E B G#m
Did they stick you in here
F# E (let fade)
Cuz you weren't workin right?
Verse:
Don't move, stay just like you are
You look sane, motionless like that
So very flat
It's amazin what velocity can do
When human beings are in season
E5 C#m5
A boy and his machine gun
E5 C#m5
If you're quiet we might see some
Chorus:
When you're finished strugglin'
Are ya free tonight?
Did they stick you in here
Cuz you weren't workin' right?
E, B, G#m, F#
(same pattern)
There's a TV in every room
And it's free, even pay-per-view
Which you'll need if no one's
Gonna visit you
E
Animal
C#m
Fuckin' Animal
E
C#m
E F# B C#m
I know who you're waiting for
E F# B C#m
no one's comin' though
Now it changes to this:

(over that):
So fuck you and your principals
And fuck whatever made me
Perhaps you think I'm evil
What does it matter if we're crazy?
Then that part repeats, and you end on G#m
