from the album Secret Samadhi
Tune down 1/2 step
Chords used:
Ab -2----4--------2---7-or-0---5----4----2----5---
VERSES:
Everybody's here
puke stinks like beer
this could be a city
this could be a graveyard
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
everybody's anxious
for the coming of the crisis
the collapse of the justice
I can smell your armpits
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
CHORUS:
this puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
come on, come on, come on
let's lay waste to this century
come on, come on, come on
return to nothing
BRIDGE:
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
dangled with tongue
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
and won't stand tall

#4 on Secret Samadhi
This is one of the cooler songs on the new album. Tune down � step
to Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. All chords are written as they would be
played in standard tuning (ie- the F# is technically an F). I would
make a chord key, but that would take a while and you should all
know these chords anyway. Ok, now the song:
Everybody's here
puke stinks like beer
this could be a city
this could be a graveyard
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
everybody's anxious
for the coming of the crisis
the collapse of the justice
I can smell your armpits
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
you stole my idea
CHORUS:
this puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
come on, come on, come on
let's lay waste to this century
come on, come on, come on
return to nothing
everybody's anxious
the crowd is all around us
the followers of Aldous
are spinning with their mescaline
a man behind the altar screams
you stole my idea
you were my idea
(CHORUS)
come on, come on, come on
let's lay waste to this century
BRIDGE:
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
dangled with tongue
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
and won't stand tall
come on, come on, come on
let's lay waste to this century
come on, come on, come on
return to nothing, and help me
it's amazing what we can do with love
with some matches and gasoline, do with love
it's amazing what we can do with love

"Century" 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.
Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.
This is real easy, but here's one of the main chords he uses:
F#7 sus4/E (F sharp 7 suspended 4 with an E bass, I know, I know,
it sounds a lot harder than it actaully is. It's
basically an open E chord moved up two frets.)
eb:---0----
Bb:---0----
Gb:---2----
Db:---4----
Ab:---4----
Eb:---0----
Verse:
(using Chorus)
sus4/
Everybody's here... (simply repeat these two chords for the verse,
and listen to the song to get the correct
strumming pattern.)
Chorus:
(using distortion)
this puke stinks like beer,
and everybody's here, so
come on, come on, come on,
let's lay waste to this
century...
come on, come on, come on,
return to nothing...
(again, listen for the strumming pattern; there's some chunk-a-chunk-a
muting on the A chord. Also, all the other chorus' all simply extended
versions of the first, so listen for those changes, too)
Bridge:
On the edge, of a kiss, smack on the lips
dangled with tongue
On the edge, of a peace, that can't stand low
and won't stand tall!
That's pretty much all the parts to this song; just piece them together
and have fun!
