Viper Fish tab by Goat Girl

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Listen for timings -I'm terrible at notating rhythm, sorry.

Paradoxical vision, eyes imprisoned, rain on my terrain.
Colloguial tongue, cumming in my ears, hedonistic pain.
Don't shed a tear, please don't fear, we all feel shame.
Don't shed a tear, please don't fear, we all feel shame.

No guitar in the intro or verse but after the first verse and refrain there's this big fat riff.

Guitar 1 (L.E.D)

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------6h7-6h7-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------7-6-----------7-6--6h7-6h7----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------4---7-----------------------------7-4--------4-5p4----------------------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4h5-4h5-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------5\2---------------------------------------------------------------|

I like playing it like this but I watched some live videos and I think L.E.D plays it like this:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------10h11-10h11-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------12-11--------------12-11--11h12-11h12----------------------------------------------------|
A|------9--12---------------------------------------12-9--------9--10p9-7-4--4h5-4h5------4h5-4h5------|
E|-9-12----------------------------------------------------9-12----------------------5h7-----------5\2-|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4h5-4h5------4h5-4h5------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------5h7----------5\2--------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2 (Clottie Cream) accompanies the riff with the chords F# and E.

Rhythm guitar comes in on the third note of the riff (F#), making the first two notes sound like a nice little
ascending transition

Rhythm accompaniment Part A

e|---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2----0-0----0-0----2-2----2-2-|
B|---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2----0-0----0-0----2-2----2-2-|
G|---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3----1-1----1-1----3-3----3-3-|
D|---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4----2-2----2-2----4-4----4-4-|
A|---4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4----2-2----2-2----4-4----4-4-|
E|-2-----2-----2------2-----0------0------2------2-----|

Play this through twice but after the second time it goes straight to the E rather than back to the F#
like this:

Rhythm accompaniment Part B

e|---0-0---0-0----2-2----2-2--|
B|---0-0---0-0----2-2----2-2--|
G|---1-1---1-1----3-3----3-3--|
D|---2-2---2-2----4-4----4-4--|
A|---2-2---2-2----4-4----4-4--|
E|-0-----0------2------2------|

Through the next verse L.E.D plays upstrokes on the off-beat with the same chord pattern (as part A)

F#                                       E              F#
Moonlight gleaming, viperfish screaming, dawn is nearly here.
F#                                 E            F#
Phallic buildings, cyanide killing all that was clear.

e|------------|
B|------------|
G|------------|
D|------------|
A|------0-----|
E|-2--2---2---|

Clottie Cream plays this little riff and the end of each line with the first note coinciding with the "here"
and the "clear"

Same chord pattern through the refrain but with Clottie Cream accenting the on-beat with same chords strummed
down

F#                   E                 F#
Find an antidote for this accumulating smoke.
F#                   E                 F#
Find an antidote for this accumulating smoke.

The main riff is then played again but with this bit played through twice more:

e|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|-------------------------|
D|-------------------------|
A|-4h5-4h5-----4h5-4h5-----|
E|---------5h7---------5\2-|

Then it says "Don't shed a tear, please don't fear, we all feel shame" quite a lot of times. For the first
few times there's no guitar but then the two guitars play complimentary rhythm parts which follow the
pattern of part A with a slight variation in strumming pattern for both:

Clottie Cream strums these chords - rhythm is similar to the drum beat.

e|---2-2--2-2-2-----2-2--2-2-2-----0-0--0-0-0-----2-2--2-2-2--|
B|---2-2--2-2-2-----2-2--2-2-2-----0-0--0-0-0-----2-2--2-2-2--|
G|---3-3--3-3-3-----3-3--3-3-3-----1-1--1-1-1-----3-3--3-3-3--|
D|---4-4--4-4-4-----4-4--4-4-4-----2-2--2-2-2-----4-4--4-4-4--|
A|---4-4--4-4-4-----4-4--4-4-4-----2-2--2-2-2-----4-4--4-4-4--|
E|-2------2-2-2---2------2-2-2---0------0-0-0---2------2-2-2--|

e|-----2--------------2--------------0--------------2---------|
B|-----2--------------2--------------0--------------2---------|
G|-----3--------------3--------------1--------------3---------|
D|-----4--------------4--------------2--------------4---------|
A|-----4--------------4--------------2--------------4---------|
E|-----2--------------2--------------0--------------2---------|

L.E.D plays upstrokes - I've tried to line these up with the other guitar part to show how they go together.
