Tabbed by Grant Joyce

This song is in 4,4 timing.
The intro, although may sound daunting, is piss really.
I watched Chris play it on the weekend, so I knew where
to play the lead, and then I figured it from there...so there !!

Military Strongmen - Jebediah
hurl abuse by way of cc (auto@labyrinth.net.au) or daniel
(ceawa@iinet.net.au)... thanks be to andrew loch for corrections.. yup
andrew.. now everyone knows you’re a closet jebediah fan...
The basic format for any Jebediah song is a recurring riff over some power
chords. So here’s the riff...
e------------------------
B--4---------------------
G----5------5-----5------
D------4-6----4-6--------
A------------------------
E------------------------
This is played over a few times before the rest of the band kick in and
it’s played during the chorus too.
Ok.. and here’s the chord progression:
Bb/F C# G# F#
e--1--|--4--|--4--|--2--|--
B--1--|--4--|--4--|--2--|--
G--3--|--6--|--5--|--3--|--
D--3--|--6--|--6--|--4--|--
A--1--|--4--|--6--|--4--|--
E--1--|--4--|--4--|--2--|--
That’s played for the verse and the chorus
VERSE
I'm on parade, you don't say
Why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay
Why can't you see that, when
CHORUS
When you're around
You just get me down
I'm better off without you
VERSE
All of the years add up to
Why can't you see that
Something has happened to you
Why can't you see that, when
CHORUS
G# F#
It's not me
G# F#
It can't be
G# F# Bb
I'd rather leave
G# F#
Its getting hard
G# F#
To be a part
G# F# Bb
Of what is around
C# G# Bb C#
C# G# Bb C#
Is this the situation of the time?
C# G# Bb C#
If so then you can have yours I want mine
C# G# Bb C#
I know there's something better you could be
C# G# Bb C#
Now I am past caring completely
CHORUS
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 JEBEDIAH 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.
