Lifeless Dead tab by Mad Season

Tabs

Song: Lifeless Dead
Band: Mad Season
Album: "Above"

Mad season was a "side project" members from bands such as pearljam, alice and chains, and screaming tree's. The album is very interesting. This is track six from the CD. As i was listening to the CD this track caught my ear, so i decided to figure it out. Also on this CD is "river of deciet" which i think got some radio air time a year or so ago. Anyways, i think this is the correct tab, but i am open to suggestions. Feel free to mail me at [email protected]. Enjoy!


 opening riff/chorus:


 e|-----------------------------------|
 BB|-----------------------------------|
 G+G|-----------------------------------|
 D MajorD|-----7--7--5-----------------------|
 A augmentedA|--------------6----0-3-3-4-5-0----|
 E MajorE|-----------------------------------|

verse:

"Lifeless dead, that unclean bed....."

 e|-----------------------------|
 BB|-----------------------------|
 G+G|-----------------------------|
 D MajorD|------5-7-5-7-----5-7-5-7---|
 A augmentedA|-----------------------------|
 E MajorE|-----------------------------|


 play above (2x) then at the end of the second time add these
two chords:

 e|--------------- |
 BB|--------------- |
 G+G|---10---9\-----|
 D MajorD|---X----X------ |
 A augmentedA|---8----7\-----|
 E MajorE|--------------- |


play above a few times then play:

"alone on dirty floor he slept...."

 e|------------------------|-----------------------|
 BB|------------------------|-----------------------|
 G+G|------------------------|--10--9---5--5--4-----|
 D MajorD|---5-7-5-7---5-7-5-7---|--X---X---X--X--X------|
 A augmentedA|------------------------|--8---7---3--3--2--0--|
 E MajorE|------------------------|-----------------------|


After you play the above to end the "verse" you play the opening riff/chorus again as Layne Stanley says "yeah, lifleless dead...." This is basically what this song is composed of. There is a bridge in the middle, but i havn't had time to figure it out. If you listen to the CD you will get the order of the parts a bit easier.
