ARTIST/GROUP: Beck
ALBUM: One Foot In The Grave
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk
**********************************************************************
CHORDS: [guitar tuned down two notes (one step) to D]
-------
EADGBE EADGBE
A (002220) C (032010) (notice that on the A and C chords

D (xx0232) G# (466544) out with the chord)
G (320003)
I just bought Beck's One Foot In The Grave CD and it's pretty good.
VERY stripped down and basic, most of the songs are just him and his
acoustic guitar with maybe some very faint drums and bass. This is
my favorite song of the album now, very cool song with very cool
chord changes. Remind me a bit of 'Lazy Flies' off Mutations.
Anyway, just remember to tune down to D, that is, tune every string
down two notes. Of course you only have to do this if you're gonna
play along with the CD, but tuned down acoustic guitars have this
really cool lo-fi sound, so you really should tune down.
VERSE 1:
--------
A F D G
Definitely, this is the wrong place to be
F C
there's blood on the futon,
E A
there's a kid drinkin' fire.
F
Goin' down to the sea,
D G
they got people to meet,
F C
shakin' hands with themselves,
E F G#
lookin' out for themselves.
CHORUS:
-------
C F G
When they ask you for credit,
F C
give them a branch.
C F G
When they want you to get it,
F C
chew on the grass.
E F
I know, I know
D G
'cause they told me to tell you
F C
there's nothing to tell you,
E A
there's nothing to sell you.
VERSE 2:
--------
A F D G
In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,
F C E A
burning equipment, decomposing.
F
Cool off your jets,
D G
take off your sweats,
F C
I got a funny feeling
E F G#
they got plastic in the afterlife.
CHORUS:
-------
C F G
When they want you to cry,
F C
leap into the sky.
F G
When they suck your mind,
F C
like a pigeon you fly.
E F
I know, I know,
D G
it's the positive people
F C
running from their time
E A
looking for some feeling.
