Tune down 1/2 step on all strings.
INTRO:
(arguable if the guitar plays the Gadd6 or if it's the bass
giving the same effect)
Let's go hang out in a mall, or a morgue,
a smorgasbord *=
Let's go hang out in a church e-----
We'll go find lurch G--0h2
Dmsus2 D--0--
then we'll haul ass down through the abbey A-----
is it money, is it fame E-----
what's in a name, shame?
is it money, is it fame
or were they always this lame?
it's a crazy, crazy mixed up town
ad6
but it's the rattlesnake I fear
in another place, in another time
I'd be drivin' trucks my dear
I'd be skinnin' hunted deer (this line tacet first time)
Intro riff
deer, deer
let's go hang out in a bar
it's not too far
we'll take my car
we'll lay flowers at the grave of jesco white
the sinner's saint
the rack is full and so are we
of laughing gass and ennui
bridge:
s2
s2
solo over chorus chords
Intro riff

"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.
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)
Verse:
(using chorus)
Let's go hang out in a mall,
or a morgue,
smorgasbord...
Chorus:
(using heavy distortion)
It's a crazy, crazy mixed up town...
It's the rattlesnake I fear...
Bridge:
(ahhh.... ahhh...)
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!
