CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE
A5 (x022xx) C5 (x355xx)
C#5 (x466xx) Asus2 (x02200)
F#5 (244xxx) Dsus2 (xx0230)
D5 (x577xx) F#m7 (244200) - this chord is probably called
B5 (x244xx) | something else but I don't know
| what it's called.
Use your thumb for this note.
Some people think it's easier to play the A5 as (577xxx) but if
you listen to the song I think they play it (x022xx). I'm not
sure in the chorus though. There the chords might be played
in different positions. You can try playing them like this:
A5(577xxx) B5(799xxx) C5(8-10-10-x-x-x)
C#5(9-11-11-x-x-x) D5(10-12-12-x-x-x).
It's comfortable to play them like this in the chorus because
then you do all the sliding chords on the E string. Anyway,
try it and play what you think sounds best.
The chords in the verses are played like this:
A5 C#5 F#5
E|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|--2-2----6-6\------------| \ = slide down (you don't slide down
D|--2-2----6-6\----4-4-----| to a specific fret in this song,
A|--0-0----4-4\----4-4-----| just slide a bit down)
E|-----------------2-2-----|
On the last line of the verse you don't stop after the F#5 chord,
you keep strumming it until the chorus starts.
VERSE 1: [distorted guitar]
--------
A5 C#5 F#5
Oh make me over
A5 C#5 F#5
I'm all I wanna be
A5 C#5 F#5
A walking study
A5 C#5 F#5
in demonology
CHORUS: [distorted guitar]
-------
D5 A5
Heeeeyyyy, so glad you could make it
D5 A5
Yeah-eah-eah, now you really made it
F#5 A5 B5 C5 C#5 D5
Heeeeeyyy, so glad you could make it now
|
[Here in the last line of the chorus, the A5, C5 and C#5 chords
are only strummed once. They are just transition chords. When
you play the C5 C#5 before the D5 chord, you just kind of slide
up to the D5 chord. Listen to the song to hear what I mean.]
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
Oh look at my face
My name is might have been
My name is never was
My name's forgotten
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now
Here's the little fill that's played before
the bridge starts:
E|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|------7---7--------| / = slide up
D|------7---7--------| \ = slide down
A|--5/9---9---9\-----|
E|-------------------|
[There's some picking going on in the bridge, but it's REALLY hard
to hear exactly what they're playing so I couldn't tab it. Just
pick notes out of the chords, it sounds fine, or just strum the
chords, that's what I do]
BRIDGE: [clean guitar]
-------
Asus2 Dsus2 Asus2 Dsus2
When I wake up, in my make-up
Asus2 Dsus2 F#m7
it's too early for that dress
Asus2 Dsus2 Asus2 Dsus2
Wilted and faded, somewhere in Hollywood
Asus2 Dsus2 F#m7 Asus2
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh
Dsus2 Asus2 Dsus2
No second billing, 'cause you're a star now
Asus2 Dsus2 F#m7 Asus2
Oh Cinderella, they aren't sluts like you
Dsus2 Asus2 Dsus2
Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses
Asus2 Dsus2 F#m7 A5 C#5 F#5
Can you stand up, or will you just fall down?
|
The verse chords start when she sings 'down?'
VERSE 3: [play same as verses 1 & 2]
--------
You better watch out
a-what you wish for
It better be worth it
So much to die for
CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
-------
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey there's only us left now
BRIDGE: [play like first bridge]
-------
When I wake up, in my make-up
have you ever felt so used up as this?
It's all so sugarless, hooker, waitress,
model, actress, oh just go nameless
Honeysuckle, she's full of poison
She obliterated every thing she kissed
Now she's fading, somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh
OUTRO: [play like verses]
------

You want a part of me?
A5 C#5 F#5
Well, I'm not selling cheap
A5 C#5 F#5
No, I'm not selling cheap
