GREAT SONG FROM BUSH!!! One of my favorite songs of all time, from one of my favorite
albums of all time!! This "16-Stone" album kicks ass!!! With hits such as: "Comedown,"
"Glycerine," "Machine-Head," and "Everything Zen." Bush is a rockin' band. I love 'em,
I'm gonna do more songs from them. If you're familiar with their latest, "Letting the Cables Sleep,"
you can find a great tab for it at Quality Tabs Inc. It's a great song too. Well, enjoy this
song. No drums to this, just a slight over-drive, I love it!
CHORDS: (Few simple chords)
F5 - (133xxx)
C5 - (x355xx)
D5 - (x577xx)
Bb5 - (x133xx)

(Play it something like that, it sounds good enough)
VERSE 1: (Play just like the intro is played)
F5 C5 D5
It must be your skin, I'm sinkin in.
Bb5 F5
Must be for real, cause now I can feel.
C5 D5
I didn't mind, it's not my kind,
Bb5 F5
it's not my time, to wonder why.
C5 D5
Everything's gone white, everything's gray.
Bb5 F5
Now you're here, now you're away.
C5 D5
I don't want this, remember that.
Bb5 F5 C5
I'll never forget, where you're at.
CHORUS: (Still play chords like the verse)
C5 D5 Bb5 F5 C5-Bb5 F5 C5-Bb5
Don't let the days go by. Glycerine. Glycerine.
(The dash in between the chords indicates that the chords are played quickly, together)
VERSE 2: (Play like verse 1)
I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time.
Are you at one, do you lie?
We live in a wheel, where everyone steals.
When we rise, it's like strawberry fields.
I treated you bad, you bruise my face.
Couldn't love you more, you got a beautiful taste.
CHORUS: (It's a little different wording, so I'll put the chords again)
C5 D5 Bb5 F5 C5 D5
Don't let the days go by. Coulda been easier on you.
Bb5 F5
I couldn't change tho, I wanted to.
C5 D5
Shoulda been easier, the three.
Bb5 F5 C5-Bb5 F5 C5-Bb5 F5
Our old friend fear, and you and me. Glycerine. Glycerine
C5 D5 Bb5 F5
Don't let the days go by. Glycerine.
C5 D5 Bb5 F5 C5 D5 Bb5 F5
Don't let the days go byyyy-eyyyyy-eyyyy-eyyyy-eyy-eyy-eyy-eyy-eyy-eyy
(On the last D5 of that chorus, kick into a nice louder and fuzzier distortion than before)
BRIDGE: (Still with a fuzzy distortion)
C5 D5 Bb5 F5 C5 D5 Bb5
Glycerine. Glycerine Ohhh Glycerine. Glycerine.
(NO GUITAR HERE! Just violin, but if you don't have one, just strum chords)
Bad mood whine again, bad mood whine again. And she falls around me.
VERSE 3: (Play like other verses. Palm-muted very well, barely let the chords ring out at all)
I needed us more, we wanted us less.
Could not kiss, just regress.
It might just be, clear, simple and plain.
Well that's just fine, that's just one of my names.
CHORUS: (Play like other choruses)
Don't let the days go by. Coulda been easier on you, you, you.
Glycerine. Glycerine. Glycerine. Glycerine.
After you sing the last "Glycerine," play, "C5-Bb5 F5" and end on the F5. Then after that, there's this
really dumb violin ending, that doesn't really fit the song, but oh well. That's the end of the song. Very
easy, huh!! If you still have questions on this, tho, email me at: weezer090@hotmail.com Thanks. LATER!!
