The Staggering Genius by Superdrag

Chords with lyrics

"The Staggering Genius"
By Superdrag
Transcribed by [email protected]

This is the version of the song that Superdrag preformed live on the Conan O'Brien show on 9/12/02.
Afetr having watched it a good dozen times and trying it out, this is 99.9% accurate.

The song is in standard tuning. Medium distortion on the guitars, light on the bass.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bass intro:

Interlude:

The fourth time you play the chorus chords in the second chorus it should look like this

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------7---7---7---7---6---4------|
D--4---x---4---4---5---5---7---x---7---------------------------7--|
A--2---x---4---4---5---5---5---x---5------------------------------|
E--2---x---2---2---3---3---5---x---5------------------------------|

Then it goes to:

E---------------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------------------|
D--7---7---7---7b8---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7b8--|
A--5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----|
E--5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----|

E---------------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------------------|
D--7---7---7---7b8---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7----|
A--5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----|
E--5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----|

I haven't tabbed the solo yet. But the chords the second guitar uses behind it are the same as the Intro/Chorus 4x.

Outro:
 3 times
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------3---3
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------2---2
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------3---3
D--4---x---4---4---5---5---4---x---4---4---5---5---4---x---4---4---5---5--------
A--2---x---4---4---5---5---4---x---4---4---5---5---4---x---4---4---5---5--------
E--2---x---2---2---3---3---4---x---4---4---5---5---4---x---4---4---5---5--------

There you go. Hope this works, 'cause this is one of the closest to a good ol rock song you'll find lately.
