Author/Artist: Splender Title: Yeah, Whatever Album: Halfway Down the Sky Transcribed by: James McAllister II Email: [email protected] I added this tab because other versions here were either incomplete or didnt make sense. I am the only guitar player in a three piece band and therefore transcribe songs so that a single guitar is all that is needed to play the selection (even though most songs, like this one, have multiple guitar tracks). A single guitar player that owns a capo and can switch from clean to dirty should be able to play this song. If you try this transcription and agree or have any problems with it, please let me know by email. SONG REQUIREMENTS: standard tuning (EADGBE) 4/4 time signature Tempo: 96 Guitar 1 (G1): capo at third fret; clean with chorus effect Guitar 2 (G2): no capo; distortion Guitar 3 (G3): distortion with wah INTRO, VERSE 1 & 2: G1 plays Part 1 (transcribed with capo so 3rd fret = 0) PRE-CHORUS 1 & 2: G2 plays Part 2 CHORUS 1 & 2: G2 plays Part 3 (with ending; with fill 2 the 2nd time) BRIDGE: G3 plays Part 4 PRE-CHORUS 3: G2 plays Part 5 CHORUS 3: G2 plays Part 3 seven times while G3 plays Part 6 OUTRO: G2 plays part 7, G3 plays fill 2 twice All backing chords are under the staff LYRICS: VERSE 1 And you're primative... And you're cynical to me And I chewed down on the bit, and almost swallowed it. PRE-CHORUS 1 You sit all alone with your color TV, Your hair starts to glisten in spite of th e fleas We dont have to stay friends, Lets pretend to be enemies. CHORUS Yeah, whatever makes you happy, Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful. Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied, Cuz I'm out of time for now VERSE 2 And you're paranoid, As you look me up and down. And Im soaked in gasoline, mud, and ice cream PRE-CHORUS 2 You sit by the phone with your tongue hanging out You cradle the flies in the back of your mouth. We dont have to stay friends. Lets pretend to be enemies. CHORUS BRIDGE Damned if you do, Fucked if you dont Damned if you do, What if you wont PRE-CHORUS 3 You must be aware of what you're doing to me We sunk like a stone on a rock in the sea We dont have to stay friends (Not for very long) We dont have to stay friends (Just because you're gone) You get what you want cause you wont let it die CHORUS OUTRO Yeah, whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever makes you insecure Yeah, whatever seems to break you down Cuz Im out of time, but Im feeling fine.
