>Song: MOUTH (off of Razorblade Suitcase)
>Tabbed out by Jonathan Zeitlin (marcz@netcom.com)

This song is pretty awesome.  It is one of the better songs on 
Razorblade Suitcase.  It has a pretty mellow sound.  The amp should be 
set without any bass and a high pitch tone.  

The verses are mostly picking off note.  There are a few patterns that 
they play.  If you listen to the song you can hear where they are and 
can figure out where to put them.

There are 5 chords that are pulled from barre chords.  I don't know 
their names so I'll just call them BAR1, 2, 3, 4, and5.

                       BAR1   BAR2  BAR3  BAR4  BAR5
                    e|---X-----X-----X-----X-----X---
BAR1:  133XXX       b|---X-----X-----X-----X-----X---
BAR2:  355XXX       g|---X-----X-----X-----X-----X---
BAR3:  466XXX       d|---3-----5-----6-----8-----10--
BAR4:  688XXX       a|---3-----5-----6-----8-----10--
BAR5:  8 10 10XXX   e|---1-----3-----4-----6-----8---

SIGNS
  s=slide to
  b=bend
  ^=slide up until...

The Intro is the same as the verses.

INTRO/VERSES:

     BAR1
e|----X-----------------------------------------------
b|----X-----------------------------------------------
g|----X----5s-4---4---5s-4s-2-------------------------
d|----3-----------------------------------------------
a|----3-----------------------------------------------
e|----1-----------------------------------------------

This repeats throughout the verses.  After or instead of the fingerings 
following the barre chord are these little finger dittys that pop up 
everywhere in the song.

Finger Ditty #1:
e|------------------------------
b|------------------------------
g|---5--5--5--5b-s6--5s-6--2----
d|------------------------------
a|------------------------------
e|------------------------------

Finger Ditty #2:
e|---7--7--7--7b-s8--7s-8--5----
b|------------------------------
g|------------------------------
d|------------------------------
a|------------------------------
e|------------------------------

CHORUS #1:

   BAR1        BAR3        BAR2
e|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------------------
b|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------------------
g|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------------------
d|---3-----3-----6-----6-----5------------------------
a|---3-----3-----6-----6-----5------------------------
e|---1-----1-----4-----4-----3------------------------

Let this ring and throw in the first finger ditty with your middle 
finger and your pinky.  The play the verse.  In the verse he throws in 
the second finger ditty.  Then come the second chorus.  This is the 
model for the rest of the chorusus.

CHORUS #2:

   BAR1        BAR3        BAR2  BAR4   
e|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------
b|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------
g|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------
d|---3-----3-----6-----6-----5-----8-----8------------
a|---3-----3-----6-----6-----5-----8-----8------------
e|---1-----1-----4-----4-----3-----6-----6------------

Then the bridge, which is also the solo (Gavin used this trick of 
comining them in "Glycerine" as well), goes like this.

BRIDGE/SOLO:

   BAR5              BAR3
e|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------------------
b|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x------------------------
g|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----4~~~5~~~~~7~~~~8---
d|---10----10----10----6-----6------------------------
a|---10----10----10----6-----6------------------------
e|---8-----8-----8-----4-----4------------------------

LYRICS:

You gave me this, made me give.
Your silver grin
(still sticking it in).

You have...soul machine
Soul machine.

The longest kiss
Peeling furniture days
Drift madly to you
Pollute my heart, drain

You have...stolen me
Broken on me,
Broken me
All your mental armour,
Dargs me down.
Nothing Hurts, like:
Your mouth.

Your loaded smile
Pretty just dessert.
I wish it all for you
So much it never hurts.

You have soul machine
Stolen me
All your mental armour
Drags me down.
We can't Breathe 
When you come Around.
All your mental armour drags me down
Nothing hurts like....
Your mouth, mouth, mouth.
Your mouth, mouth, mouth.

We've been missing long before,
Never found our way home
We've been missing long before,
We will find our way.

You gave me this,
Made me give.

You have... soul machine
Broken free.
All your mental armour drags me down.
We can't breathe when you come around.
All your mental armour drags me down.
Nothing hurts like your mouth.
Your mouth, mouth, mouth.
Your mouth, mouth, mouth.
Your mouth, mouth, mouth.
All your mental armour 
All your mental armour
and you mouth, mouth, etc.
