BALLAD OF FUCK ALL - Malcolm Middleton
Email: scottkenanderson@googlemail.com
Capo: 2nd fret
Relative to capo
INTRO:
Use thumb for the bass notes and alternate index and middle fingers for the higher notes.
Picking pattern continues throughout the song. Chords aren't in the right place
but you can work it out.
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh oh (etc)
Oh will you come home soon
Come home soon and save me
I'm so bored
Soul destroying gloom
The walls are closing in all around
Oh will you find me now
Find me out and show me
I can't get up
Life threatening doom
Dragging me darker and down
BREAK:
Something like this
CHORUS:
Take my hand
Dragging me down
Through the ground
Darker and down
Down down down
All the way down
Oh wont you come for me
Comfort me in the night
I'm so tired of feeling sick and tired
Dying at life's door all the time
Oh I'm locked inside
Trapped inside this body
I can't get out
And there's not enough room
I'm glued to the back of this bone mask
BREAK
That's roughly how it goes, it's played finger style so just experiment.
