SONG NAME: Perfectly Still
ARTIST: Gin Blossoms
ALBUM: Congratulations I'm Sorry
YEAR: 1996
TABBED BY: Malvolio
"Perfectly Still" -- Gin Blossoms
Note: This tab is in power chords, because A) It's easier to tab that
way, and I'm a lazy ass; and B) at the time I tabbed it, I was
alternating between listening to the Gin Blossoms album and a Screeching
Weasel album (talk about variety!) so the tab is a little weird. I think
I've got it about right; just slip in a few minors or 7ths or something.
D G
It's our call
D G
It sways, it stalls
D G A D
I need a little extra time alone, I'll maybe take the long way home
D G
Just enough to get it wrong
E F# G
Nothing like a bad decision says who you are
D G B A D
Fools rush in for the grist* in my, for the grist in my mill
G B A D
Can't you see when you're perfectly, when you're perfectly still
(* - What the hell is grist anyway? god, I'm such a dumbass)
Verses:
One big rout, all sold out
(??) we'll pay
Price tags on every other day
We're bankrupt here for now
But they can't take my anger, it can't be touched
Faded maps, pull out ramps
I won't contribute to our own demise
Pass up the consolation prize
It starts from here from now
Nothing like a bad decision...
And I'll be damned if I know the solo. Somewhere near the end it changes
key, I think to E.
Later, E. Hulka

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 GIN BLOSSOMS 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.
