King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Float Along - Fill Your Lungs
          from their 2013 album Float Along - Fill Your Lungs

This song is in 5/4, which is a fairly weird time signature to get the hang of,
but just count 1-2-3-1-2 to get the rhythm down.

Intro:
Synth bass thing:
e|----------|
BB|----------|
G+G|----------|
D MajorD|----------|
A augmentedA|---5~~~~~-|
E MajorE|-3--------|

Then lead guitar:
e|-5h7p5---5----------------------------------------|
BB|-------8---7-8-5-7---5---------------5------------|
G+G|-------------------7---7-6-7-6-4---7---7----------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------7-----7----------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------5----------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------|


Then hit this chord and slightly arpeggiate it:
e|-0---------|
BB|-3---------|
G+G|-2---------|
D MajorD|-0---------|
A augmentedA|-----------|
E MajorE|-----------|


Then this sliding riff. You lightly hit the open D MajorD string and use it as a droning note:
e|-------------------|
BB|-------5--------7--|
G+G|---2-4------2/4----| x4
D MajorD|-0--------0--------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


Into this:
e|-3h5-3-2--5h7-5-0--|
BB|-------------------|
G+G|-------------------| x4
D MajorD|-------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|

Back to this:
e|-------------------|
BB|-------5--------7--|
G+G|---2-4------2/4----| x4
D MajorD|-0--------0--------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


And then the awesome explosion:
e|-0---------------------------------------------------|
BB|-3--3------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-2----2----------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-0------0-----------------0--2/4-4/2p0---------------|
A augmentedA|------------0-2-3---2---0--------------0-2-3---2---0-|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------------|

e|----10-10-10-9-7/9-----------------2-2-2-3-0-2--------------|
BB|------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------------------7---------------------------2------------|
D MajorD|-0------------------------------0---------------------------|
A augmentedA|----------------------3---2---0-------------------3---2---0-|
E MajorE|------------------------------------------------------------|

A augmentedA high synth plays this throughout:
e|----------|
BB|-20p19----|
G+G|-------19-| x26
D MajorD|----------|
A augmentedA|----------|
E MajorE|----------|

And there's this little synth thing at the end. This plays at various point in the
song (usually at the end of chord progressions), but I won't tab it out every single
time, otherwise it will clutter and overcomplicate the
e|-3--2--0--------------|
BB|----------3--0--------|
G+G|----------------2-----|
D MajorD|----------------------|
A augmentedA|----------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------|


Verse:
"I saw you in the carpet shades,
Then I felt you like a baby's face"
It's a bit hard to hear exactly what the guitar is playing here,
but I think it's something like this:
e|---------0-------------------|
BB|-----3-----3-------5---------|
G+G|---2---2-----2-------5-----5-| x4
D MajorD|-0---------------5-------5---|
A augmentedA|---------------3-------2-----|
E MajorE|-----------------------------|

Basically, just arpeggiate these chords:
e|-0------------|
BB|-3-----5---5--|
G+G|-2-----5---5--|
D MajorD|-0-----5---5--|
A augmentedA|-------3---2--|
E MajorE|--------------|


Chorus:
"Just float along and fill your lungs"
e|---------0---------------------------0-----------------|
BB|-----3-----3-------5-------------3-----3---------------|
G+G|---2---2-----2-------5-----5---2---2-------------------|
D MajorD|-0---------------5-------5---0-------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------3-------2-----------------0-2-3---2---0-|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------|

"Float along and breathe a deep breath"
e|---------0-------------------|
BB|-----3-----3-------5---------|
G+G|---2---2-----2-------5-----5-| x2
D MajorD|-0---------------5-------5---|
A augmentedA|---------------3-------2-----|
E MajorE|-----------------------------|


Back to the riff section:
e|-------------------|
BB|-------5--------7--|
G+G|---2-4------2/4----| x4
D MajorD|-0--------0--------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


Then:
e|-3h5-3-2--5h7-5-0--|
BB|-------------------|
G+G|-------------------| x4
D MajorD|-------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


Second awesome explosion:
e|-0-------------------------------------------------|
BB|-3--3----3-----------------------------------------|
G+G|-2--2--2-2-----------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-0-----0-----------------0---2/4--4-2-0------------|
A augmentedA|-----------0-2-3---2--0------------------3---2---0-|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------|

e|----14-14-14-12-10-------------------10-9-7-----------------|
BB|--------------------------------------------10--------------|
G+G|------------------------------------------------7-----------|
D MajorD|-0------------------0------------0--------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----------------------3---2--0--------------------3---2--0-|
E MajorE|------------------------------------------------------------|

The high synth is even more pronounced this time:
e|----------|
BB|-20p19----|
G+G|-------19-| x26
D MajorD|----------|
A augmentedA|----------|
E MajorE|----------|


Verse:
"I saw you in the paper folds,
Then I saw you in my coffee mug,
Just float along and fill your lungs,
Just float along and breathe a deep breath"
The second time around the guitar copies what the sitar is playing:
e|-------10------10-|
BB|---------10-------|
G+G|------------------| x16
D MajorD|------------------|
A augmentedA|-----12-----------|
E MajorE|-10---------10----|


Solo section:
Note the slightly D MajorD major chord used this time (rather than the Dsus2Dsus2 chord from before).
I hope you can play fast, because it's pretty damn difficult to keep up the pace:
e|-2---10-10-10---9-10-10-----7-9-5-5-7---3-5---2--|
BB|-3------------------------------------------3----|
G+G|-2----------------------7-------------7----------|

Bridge:
"Just float along and fill your lungs,
Just float along and fill your lungs,
Just float along and breathe a deep breath,
Just float along and fill your lungs"
e|-------------|
BB|----3-----3--|
G+G|------2------| x16

e|-------------------|
BB|-------5--------7--|
G+G|---2-4------2/4----| x4

Then:

Back to:

Riff section but quieter this time:
e|-------------------|
BB|-------5--------7--|
G+G|---2-4------2/4----| x4
D MajorD|-0--------0--------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


Then:
e|-3h5-3-2--5h7-5-0--|
BB|-------------------|
G+G|-------------------| x4
D MajorD|-------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


Descending riff:

BB|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-11-9-7---11\9-7---12-11-9---12\11-9---14-12-11---14\12-11---|
D MajorD|------0---0----0---------0----0----0----------0----0-----0---|

G+G|-----------------7---7-6-7-6-4---|

G+G|---2-4------2/4----| x4
D MajorD|-0--------0--------|
A augmentedA|-------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------|


e|-3h5-3-2--5h7-5-0--|

G+G|-16-14-12---16\14-12---17-16-14---17\16-14---19p18-19---|
D MajorD|--------0----0-----0----------0----0-----0----0-----0---|
A augmentedA|--------------------------------------------------------|

Then the outro is just the D MajorD major chord,
until 6:21, which turns into:
e|-2-----3------|
BB|-3-----5---5--|
G+G|-2-----5---5--| x4
D MajorD|-0-----5---5--|
A augmentedA|-------3---2--|
