Song: A Boy And His Machine Gun
Band: Matthew Good Band
Album: Beautiful Midnight
Tabbed by: Devil Monkey
This whole song is tuned down a half step, so keep that in mind. You won t be
able to actually play along unless you tune down, cause it s not possible, you d
have to play a half-step up. Anyway...
Verse:
/? /
Don t move, stay right where you are
/ /
Talking can only give you away
C#m5
And there s so nothing to say
(Same pattern)
The voices say hello
Imprisoned, they re invisible
C#m5
But we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike
This is boring, all we talk about is you
C mon give me a reason
C#m5
A boy and his machine gun
Chorus:
If you re fi-nished strugglin
Are ya fr-ee tonight?
Did they stick you in here
(let fade)
Cuz you weren t workin right?
Verse:
Don t move, stay just like you are
You look sane, motionless like that
So very flat
It s amazin what velocity can do
When human beings are in season
C#m5
A boy and his machine gun
C#m5
If you re quiet we might see some
Chorus:
When you re finished strugglin
Are ya free tonight?
Did they stick you in here
Cuz you weren t workin right?
, , ,
(same pattern)
There s a TV in every room
And it s free, even pay-per-view
Which you ll need if no one s
Gonna visit you
Animal
in Animal
I know who you re waiting for
no one s comin though
Now it changes to this:

(over that):
So you and your principals
And whatever made me
Perhaps you think I m evil
What does it matter if we re crazy?
Then that part repeats, and you end on G#m
