Hey y'all. Great song, very simple. Chords originally written for the keys, with guitar accompaniment.
I know that this has been tabbed a few times, but IMHO they're wrong, so try this one on
for size.
The whole song consists of four chords. C Bm F G. (not C Em Am G as commonly
submitted). As
always listen to the album version on "Oh my Gawd!!!" for rhythm etc. Slow and steady
burn of
intensity is key.
For authentic ending, hang on C for few, grab whatever's handy and smash some drums and
slam the
top of your piano, scream/ laugh a little bit and generally get your weird on.
4/4
Piano: C Bm F G x 4
Verse 1
C Bm F G
Sometimes I don't know what to think about the world
C Bm F G
When this
C Bm F G
guy is burnin' up in the street with gasoline
Guitar fades/ trickles in:
C Bm F G
And the
C Bm F G
flames show no mercy...
C Bm F G
Chorus:
F
Cause when you really need someone to talk to you,
F
It doesn't always work out like, its supposed to... But you can
C Bm F G
Love yer brain
C Bm F G
Even if it slips, down the drain And I said
C Bm F G
"Man, I'm not some drug addict... But a
C Bm F G
Person's gotta have something to keep 'em from going insane".
That's it.
Lather rinse repeat.
Verse 2:
Well, this man he kills this other man
Who's killed this other man, so it's okay
And this fourteen year old's sittin' in the electric chair
Smilin' and smokin' a cigarette
So I guess I was right all along readin' Mad magazine
