My first intro to this band, on a mixtape a friend made for me 22 years ago. Jesus. It’s 4 chords, plus a lot of E-Maj scale-based noodling I haven’t tabbed out yet. Lyrics are copied from online; I’ve left Calvin’s out for clarity.
INTRO: E G# C#m A (x3) E G# C#m A You would never VERSE: E G# Do me in and act like C#m A E G# Like you're doing me a favor C#m A E But could it be in all the papers G# C#m A That you leave in places E G# C#m A Worse than floors of gerbil cages CHORUS: E To be on G# On a tip C#m A That you call in to be on E G# C#m A Oooonnnnnn.... BRIDGE (4 bars): G# - C#m - G# - A - VERSE 2: E G# C#m A Your bad toast is almost home E G# C#m A Your bad clothes, or so you boast E G# C#m A That's not to say that you don't have E G# C#m A Time to do your time everyday CHORUS: E To be on G# On a tip C#m A E G# C#m A That you call in to be on BRIDGE VERSE FADE
There’s a 16-bar breakdown at the end, where Doug squeals on some barre chords. I imagine it’s a lot of G#. It might be the same E-G#-C#m-A pattern, just whammied and distorted. But you get the general idea.
