They called you tookie in high school; .... Em D He peeled the skin off of the world ... C D You drew a breath, he sighed, the ... Em D Two blood red hearts pumpin' hard ... C D You skinned your knee at kickball .... (Same chords as chorus) Y'all put that hammer down and drove .... Somebody just stop calling you angel (x3) ------------ There are 3 guitars on the album: 1 clean guitar, which plays the introduction and is mixed centrally; and two distorted, rhythm and lead, mixed left and right respectively. After the introduction, the clean guitar is mixed pretty low, so this transcription is an arrangement for 2 guitars - the rhythm guitar plays the introduction clean, and then stomps on the distortion for everything else. I'm going to call the rhythm guitar John, and the lead guitar Michael, for obvious reasons. By the way, this song has a well cool bass line- bassists take note. Anybody fancy transcribing it? Comments and corrections welcome, as usual... NB John is in 'dropped-G' tuning (low to high EADEBE) with a capo on the third fret- fret positions are given relative to the capo. Michael is in standard tuning.

|-15----------------------|-------------------------|-10-----|| Format: Intro riff Chorus figure Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge Solo Verse (stab the first chord then play nothing for the remainder of the first 2 bars) Chorus x2 Chorus/Out-solo I can't be bothered transcribing the out-solo - it doesn't sound too complicated, so just fiddle about with G minor pentatonic. Notation used: + = Marks the beat . = Marks a quarter-beat p = Pull-off h = Hammer-on / = Slide ~ = Vibrato b = Bend r = Release bend Sorry if the bending notation is a little confusing - notating bends is always a bit awkward. Just to clarify, ---7b9------b9r7p5----- means bend from the seventh fret up two frets, hold, restrike, release bend and then pull off to the fifth fret. Enjoy!
