Subject: CRD: Cyanide Breath Mint by Beck
Cyanide Breath Mint by Beck can be found on the disc One Foot in the Grave.
It's tuned down to D, so it's
D G C F A D
I just wrote the chords down as if the guitar were in E. This seems to match
up pretty
well with the CD, so just listen and strum as you see fit.
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-------->slide to Gflat
lookin' out for themselves.
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.
(Same chords as first part)
In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,
burning equipment, decomposing.
Cool off your jets,
take off your sweats,
I got a funny feeling
they got plastic in the afterlife.
(Same chords as second part:)
When they want you to cry,
leap into the sky.
When they suck your mind,
like a pigeon you fly.
I know, I know,
it's the positive people
running from their time
looking for some feeling.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BECK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
