xMy guitar's tuned down to D standard, but in the style of e,B,G,D,A,E.
Since this song has a "dark" sound, it helps to tune down for effect, plus
it's easier to play solos and you BREAK A LOT LESS STRINGS. This was
written while playing my Dean "Black Mamba" acoustic with "Black Diamond"
coated strings.
(I hate messing with alternate tunings, . . .keeping it in tune is
hard enough) Played this way, you can play the complete song including the
instumemtal, which I added for you enjoyment!
Intro: If you know the song, just pound out the drum beat on an open E chord! . . . "Get back!"
In between verses play the drum beat by raking muted strings
[E]Can you feel I'm not like you anymore
[E]I can't see, I can't breathe
[E]See you quiver like the dogs on the streets
[E]Looking down on as I beat you
[D]It's a bad religion
[E]From a broken nation
[D]It's a contradiction
[E]And I can't take it anymore, Yeah
Repeat the same chords and strum the same beat!
Who's to say I won't like you anyway?
Take a deep breath I'm alive
Can you hear me? I'm alive inside you
Agony creeps up behind you
[D]It's a bad religion
[E]From a broken nation
[D]It's a contradiction,
[E]And I can't take it anymore,anymore (repeat chorus with word overlapping
[D] It's a bad relig-bad religion
[E] From a broken nation, A BROKEN NATION
[D] And it's contradiction . . .[B] yeah (A string 3,2,0pen,2)
A:(3,2,open3-ring and hold 1 beat,2-r&h,open-r&h
E:3-r&h)
A~7,"with 2-3 open E drones before the notes"5(3 E drones),4,3
repeat the instrumental a few times before kicking into the "coda"
[E]Can you feel it
[E]I've gotta live with it every day.
[E]And I can't take the pressure,
[E]I'm goin' insane. Now go away
[E]Go away . . . [E] Yeah! (while holding a screamed "yeah" pound
out 16 more powerful drum beat open E chords . . .I counted them!)
