Century
by +Live+
#4 on Secret Samadhi
transcribed by Andy Dufresne (dufresne@deskmedia.com)
This is one of the cooler songs on the new album. Tune down ½ step
to Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. All chords are written as they would be
played in standard tuning (ie- the F# is technically an F). I would
make a chord key, but that would take a while and you should all
know these chords anyway. Ok, now the song:
E F#
Everybody's here
E
puke stinks like beer
F#
this could be a city
E
this could be a graveyard
F#
you stole my idea
E F#
you stole my idea
E F#
everybody's anxious
E
for the coming of the crisis
F#
the collapse of the justice
E
I can smell your armpits
F#
you stole my idea
E
you stole my idea
F#
you stole my idea
CHORUS:
F# G
this puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G F# E G F# E
let's lay waste to this century
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G E
return to nothing
E F#
everybody's anxious
E
the crowd is all around us
F#
the followers of Aldous
E
are spinning with their mescaline
F#
a man behind the altar screams
E
you stole my idea
F# E
you were my idea
(CHORUS)
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G F# E G F# E
let's lay waste to this century
BRIDGE:
F# G A
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
Cm
dangled with tongue
F# G A
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
Cm
and won't stand tall
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G F# E G F# E
let's lay waste to this century
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G E G F#
return to nothing, and help me
G F# E
it's amazing what we can do with love
G F# E G F# E
with some matches and gasoline, do with love
G F# E G F# E
it's amazing what we can do with love

"Century" by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi
This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.
Transcribed by spider@olemiss.edu
Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.
This is real easy, but here's one of the main chords he uses:
F#7 sus4/E (F sharp 7 suspended 4 with an E bass, I know, I know,
it sounds a lot harder than it actaully is. It's
basically an open E chord moved up two frets.)
eb:---0----|
Bb:---0----|
Gb:---2----|
Db:---4----|
Ab:---4----|
Eb:---0----|
Verse:
(using Chorus)
E F#7 sus4/E
Everybody's here... (simply repeat these two chords for the verse,
and listen to the song to get the correct
strumming pattern.)
Chorus:
(using distortion)
B
this puke stinks like beer,
(B)
and everybody's here, so
A G
come on, come on, come on,
F# E
let's lay waste to this
B A B
century...
A G
come on, come on, come on,
F# E
return to nothing...
(again, listen for the strumming pattern; there's some chunk-a-chunk-a
muting on the A chord. Also, all the other chorus' all simply extended
versions of the first, so listen for those changes, too)
Bridge:
F# G A
On the edge, of a kiss, smack on the lips
D
dangled with tongue
F# G A
On the edge, of a peace, that can't stand low
B
and won't stand tall!
That's pretty much all the parts to this song; just piece them together
and have fun!
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 LIVE 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.
