Hey guys! This is a really killer song based off of a simple 12 bar blues progression.
Ive edited and reposted the other tab to make the appropriate corrections, unfortunatly
have no idea who the original author of the tab is, so credit should really go to him
most of it...he just had one chord half wrong! (key of E major has F#s)
Just so its clear, F#5 is a power chord on F# or the second fret of the low E string for
tab guys!
You CAN use F#m instead but i find the power chord sounds a little more authentic
here it is!
-Tristan
all alone again
he woke up screaming here
he needs more oxygen to breathe
()
help him up hold him down
()
like a freight train
it s bearing down again
he s got holy water in his lungs
help him up
Chorus
if that s how it s gonna be
wake me up wake me up
pump me full of meds
don t let me drink from that cup
slide a little pill down my throat
i ll try to keep it down
or pull my plug and don t be frightened by the sound
Pre-verse
Verse
seventy and ten
outlived the best of men
he wants to see his little kids again
help him up
but in all his years
the pain s never been this severe
now he s spiraling in fear
hold him down
Chorus
if that s how it s gonna be
wake me up wake me up
pump me full of meds
don t let me drink from that cup
slide a little pill down my throat
i ll try to keep it down
or pull my plug and don t be frightened by the sound
Solo
...
Chorus
if that s how it s gonna be
wake me up wake me up
pump me full of meds
don t let me drink from that cup
slide a little pill down my throat
i ll try to keep it down
or pull my plug and don t be frightened by the sound
or pull my plug and don t be frightened by the sound
(End on )
