Dead Bird Ii tab by Mccafferty

Done by ear but I'm 95% sure this is accurate. The whole song is based around a Bm A G F#m chord
progression and Nick uses power chords.

Keep playing the verse progression but here is the riff. Listen to the song to get the slides and
rhythm down.

Verse 1:
You can keep playing the verse progression but I like to palm-mute power chords and slowly let go.

Bm           A
Feed my ego, make me a ghost
G            F#m
Dead in my room, that's how I know
Bm                              A
Six rhymes with six rhymes with six rhymes with this
            G                            F#
Rhymes with parents divorce, rhymes with things that you'll miss rhymes with
Bm       A         G       F#m
Dead angel please, wake up safely
Bm     A        G         F#m
Heroin makes me feel less crazy
Bm       A       G          F#m
All your outlets provide no safety
Bm       A         G       F#m (strum once and stop)
Dead angel please, wake up safely

Instrumental:
Bm A G F#m x2

Verse 2:

I like to use the power chords higher up on the neck and I add in my pinky on the D string to make it
sound fuller. Throw in distortion if you're on an electric guitar.

(Rhythm changes)
Bm       A         G       F#m
Dead angel please, wake up safely
Bm     A        G         F#m
Heroin makes me feel less crazy
Bm       A       G          F#m
All your outlets provide no safety
Bm       A         G       F#m (strum once and let ring)
Dead angel please, wake up safely
