Everybody's here

E                F#7add4
everybody's anxious
                        E
for the coming of the crisis
                        F#7add4
the collapse of the justice
                        E
I can smell your armpits

you stole my idea

you stole my idea
                F#7add4

F#5              G5                       A5
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips

dangled with tongue
F#5              G5                       A5
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
                D5
and won't stand tall

Century 
by +Live+ 
#4 on Secret Samadhi

transcribed by Andy Dufresne (dufresne@deskmedia.com)

This is one of the cooler songs on the new album. Tune down * step
to Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb.  All chords are written as they would be 
played in standard tuning (ie- the F# is technically an F).  I would 
make a chord key, but that would take a while and you should all 
know these chords anyway. Ok, now the song:



E               F#
Everybody's here
                E
puke stinks like beer
                F#
this could be a city
                        E
this could be a graveyard
                F#
you stole my idea
                E       F#
you stole my idea

E                F#
everybody's anxious
                        E
for the coming of the crisis
                        F#
the collapse of the justice
                        E
I can smell your armpits
                F#
you stole my idea
                E
you stole my idea
                F#
you stole my idea


CHORUS:
F#                      G
this puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
G                       F#
come on, come on, come on
G         F#            E          G  F#  E
let's lay waste to this century
G                       F#
come on, come on, come on
G               E
return to nothing


E                       F#
everybody's anxious
                        E
the crowd is all around us
                F#
the followers of Aldous
                            E
are spinning with their mescaline
                        F#
a man behind the altar screams
                E
you stole my idea
                F#      E
you were my idea
                

(CHORUS)

G                       F#
come on, come on, come on
G           F#          E          G  F#  E
let's lay waste to this century

BRIDGE:
F#              G                       A
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
                Cm
dangled with tongue
F#              G                       A
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
                Cm
and won't stand tall

G                       F#
come on, come on, come on
G           F#          E          G  F#  E
let's lay waste to this century
G                       F#
come on, come on, come on
G            E       G      F#          
return to nothing, and help me
G                  F#              E
it's amazing what we can do with love
G               F#       E      G    F#     E
with some matches and gasoline, do with love
G       F#                E        G    F#      E
it's amazing what we can do with love

"Century" 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.

Transcribed by spider@olemiss.edu

Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.

This is real easy, but here's one of the main chords he uses:

F#7 sus4/E (F sharp 7 suspended 4 with an E bass, I know, I know,
                it sounds a lot harder than it actaully is.  It's 
                basically an open E chord moved up two frets.)

eb:---0----|
Bb:---0----|
Gb:---2----|
Db:---4----|
Ab:---4----|
Eb:---0----|



Verse:
(using Chorus)

E               F#7 sus4/E
  Everybody's here...   (simply repeat these two chords for the verse,
                                 and listen to the song to get the correct
                                 strumming pattern.)


Chorus:
(using distortion)

                            B
this puke stinks like beer,
(B)
and everybody's here, so
A                            G
come on, come on, come on,
         F#   E
let's lay waste to this 
        B   A   B
century...
A                            G
come on, come on, come on,
         F#   E
return to nothing...

(again, listen for the strumming pattern; there's some chunk-a-chunk-a 
 muting on the A chord.  Also, all the other chorus' all simply extended
 versions of the first, so listen for those changes, too)


Bridge:

F#                         G                       A
  On the edge, of a kiss, smack on the lips
                        D
  dangled with tongue
F#                         G                              A
  On the edge, of a peace, that can't stand low
                        B
  and won't stand tall!


That's pretty much all the parts to this song; just piece them together
and have fun!
