"Rattlesnake" by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi

This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.

Transcribed by [email protected]

Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.

Builds up with keyboards or something, then kicks in with this...

Intro:
(using heavy distortion)

DmDm	Dm	DmDm	Dm


Verse:
(using chorus)

DmDm
Let's go hang out in a mall,
	A augmentedA
or a morgue,
	G+G	DmDm
smorgasbord...


Chorus:
(using heavy distortion)

	 DmDm		A augmentedA	 G+G		DmDm
It's a crazy, crazy mixed up town...
		C majorC	G+G		DmDm
It's the rattlesnake I fear...


Bridge:

Bb majorBb	C majorC	FF
	(ahhh.... ahhh...)
Bb majorBb	C majorC	DmDm
Bb majorBb	C majorC	FF	G+G	G MajorG

Solo to the chorus chord progression.

That's pretty much it; just listen to the song to figure out where
everything goes. Oh, and the outro is the same as the intro.

Enjoy!
