leaves you hollow and unkind

"Static" - Beck
from the album Mutations

tabbed by Jeremy Joseph (CheshirBat@aol.com)
----
This is probably my second favorite song on Mutations,
mainly because the chorus hits so hard.

Opening riff:
(Strum up: hit the A string first)

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--0----------------0---0-----------0--0--0---------------------|
E|--12------12--12--10---9-----9-----2--2--2---------------------|

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-0-----------12--14b=(16)------12--14--12----------------------|
E|-12--12--14----------------------------------------------------|

The verses are A to D

A D
It's so easy to laugh at yourself...

There's a couple lead guitars piddling around during that..
And even though this part isn't in the song, I thought I'd TAB
the melody just for fun:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---5---5---5h7---5----3--5--7-7--5---7--5--3-------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

The rest of the chords are pretty simple:

A D
It's so easy to laugh at yourself
When all those jokes have already been written
Seems like another vain attempt
To let yourself fall out of the oven

E D
Holy mountains They look so tired
E D A
And it's a perfect day to lock yourself inside

A D
Who you fooling if the fools are right
It's the same thing but it's almost as different
Hard to tell when it pacifies your mind
Leaves you stranded with a broken engine

E D
Lazy desert looks so mangled
E D A
Let me drown in a convalescent bliss

G D A
Get up from your bed of rest
It's been a long time since you've lived
F#m G A F#m
And the static in your mind Leaves you hollow and unkind
G D A
With a shock electric wave Turns you on

You've flunked out of the devil's house

A D
Delinquent hygiens are so abrasive
Some distortion that's never been known
On the treadmill you'll be running forever

E D
Holy mountains They look so tired
E D A
And it's a perfect day to lock yourself inside

A G# G F A
