I love this song!! It's so catchy, and the lyrics are HORRIBLE!!!!! But, it's very
cool, to me at least. It's pretty easy too, it has some techno stuff in it in some
parts, but we'll work our way past that stuff. All you need to remember is that this
is played in Drop-D tuning, so you lower your low-E string one full step to a D.
The tuning becomes from low to high: (DADGBE) Okay, have fun!!
CHORDS:
A5 - (777xxx)
D5 - (x577xx)
E5 - (222xxx)
F#5 - (444xxx)
D* - (00023x)
INTRO: Underneath, I have put dots on the notes that are played in harmonics
A5 D5 D5 A5
E|----------|------------------------------------|
B|----------|------------------------------------| Before the bars is the very intro,
G|----------|-7--7-7-7---------7--7--------------| and then beyond the bars, is what
D|-7--------|-7--7-7-7---------7--7-7-7----------| you repeat during the verses.
A|-7--------|-5--5-5-5---------5--5-7-7----------|
D|-7--5-5-5-|-----------5-5-5-------7-7--5-5-5---|
. . . . . . . . .
To do harmonics, place your index on the actual fret without pushing down & pluck the string
VERSE 1: (Repeat the 2nd part of the intro throughout the verses)
D5 A5 D5
In the throws of your love Leroy
D5 A5 D5
Didn't think to think, and in the blink of an eye.
D5 A5 D5
Tied the knot, not knowing how to not know.
D5 A5 D5
He was the prodigal son, this girl had brought him home.
VERSE 2: (Play exactly like verse 1)
He moved out of his step dad's apartment
He moved in with this cute Guatemalan
Things were copasetic 'til she caught him
Things were cool and collected 'til she found him erected with another
CHORUS:
A5 E5 F#5 D*
Shit went bad, he's on the roof again,
A5 E5 F#5 D*
He flipped, she flipped the bird, and then he went
A5 E5 F#5 D*
To the roof where his threats ring loud and clear
A5 E5 D*
Gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna die this year.
INTERLUDE: (For the interlude, it's almost the same as the intro, but no harmonics)
A5 D5 D5 A5
E|----8-8-|-----------8-8------------8-8---|
B|----8-8-|-----------8-8------------8-8---|
G|--------|-7--7-7-7-------7--7------------|
D|-7------|-7--7-7-7-------7--7-7-7--------|
A|-7------|-5--5-5-5-------5--5-7-7--------|
D|-7------|---------------------7-7--------|
VERSE 3: (Now go back to the regular verse riff, with the harmonics)
Got screwed by the horse that he rode in on
Riding high on his whims had only gotten him down
He moved back to his step dad's apartment
Where he put himself back together 'til..
CHORUS: (Play like first chorus)
A5 E5 F#5 D*
She came back, he's on the roof again
A5 E5 F#5 D*
He flipped, she flipped the bird, and then he went
A5 E5 F#5 D*
To the roof where his threats ring loud and clear
A5 E5 D*
Gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna die this year.
BRIDGE: This is the techno part, but there's a little guitar riff you hear, this is it:
(RIFF)
E|--5-5-----5-5------|
B|--5-5-----5-5------| I'll just indicate where that riff
G|-------------------| is played by writing "riff" above.
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
(RIFF) (RIFF)
Your heinous highness broke her hymen hey man try to quit your crying
(RIFF)
I know she broke your heart but try to come try to come down
(RIFF)
Your heinous highness broke her hymen hey man try to quit your crying
(RIFF)
I know she broke your heart but try to come try to come down.
(REPEAT THAT AS MANY TIMES AS THE SONG DOES)
CHORUS: (Play the same as previous choruses)
Shit went bad, he's on the roof again,
He flipped, she flipped the bird, and then he went
To the roof where his threats ring loud and clear
A5 E5 F#5 D*
Gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna die this year.
OUTRO:
A5 E5 F#5 D*
Gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna die this year
A5 E5 A5 D*
Gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna die this year
A5 E5 D*
Gonna jump, gonna jump, gonna die this year
A5 E5 D* (let ring....)
And that's the end of the song! It gets REALLY tricky at the end, it's hard for me
to understand too, believe me. The chord progression changes to "A5 E5 A5 D*"
I might have it wrong on the last few lines, but it's got the right chords. If you
have questions, (I don't blame ya!) email me at: weezer090@hotmail.com Thanks guys!
