Here for a long time, this is my first contribution.
Hot Water Music - Drag my Body
The Song is off the upcoming Album 'Exister', a video is already up on youtube.
The song is based on 4 Chords.
(I think, the second guitar
C# A B E plays the low E)
e|-----| |-----| |-----| |-----| |-----|
B|-----| |-----| |-----| |-----| |-----|
G|--6--| |-----| |-----| |--9--| |-----|

A|--4--| |--7--| |--9--| |--7--| |--2--|
E|-----| |--5--| |--7--| |-----| |--0--|
From the second verse on, the lead guitar plays a little riff like
(palm muted)
e|-----------|
B|-----------| on the C#-parts, and also plays them
G|-----------| on the A- and B-parts. Listen to the
D|--6-6664---| song, and you'll know, hat I mean ;o)
A|--4-4444---|
E|-----------|
Not sure about the tab at the beginning, kind of like that.
Well I got my heart up in a beautiful mess

C#
Well I got my heart up in a beautiful mess
B
I should’ve known better when I took the risk
C#
To wreck myself and to gamble while broke
A
Shaking something mental at a loss for the words I’d once known
C#
I traded two steps forward for three steps back
B
To get to know the meaning of showing respect
C#
I found the pedestals and burned them down
A
To kill my idols and to bury the thoughts underground
B
I’m no longer deaf to the sounds
Chorus:
C# A E B
I’m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A E B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
C#
Well I got my head up in a critical mess
B
Fighting like a demon in a shell I possess
C#
Gnashing my teeth and speaking in tongues
A
Still shaking something mental at a loss of the words I’d once known
B
Something’s rattling my bones
Chorus:
C# A E B
I’m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A E B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
C# A E B
I’m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A E B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
Intermission:
A B A B
A
Stand to hold steady now
B
To take a breath and somehow
A
Take a step to begin again
B
After all we can only do out best
Chorus:
C# A E B
I’m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A E B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
C# A E B
I’m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A E B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
A B (ends with Bass)
Stand and hold steady now
