MOIST - "underground" Tablature
Official MOIST Tablature & Sheet Music »
UNDERGROUND (Radio Mix)
Moist
from the album “Machine Punch Through” (2001)
transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)
NOTE:
Although the original album version from “Mercedes Five and Dime” has
a longer and more mysterious intro, there aren’t really any guitar parts
until the first verse. The radio mix version which I’ve transcribed here
has an acoustic intro, but the rest of the song is basically the same
as the album version. All chords are listed at the bottom.
INTRO: C(add9) G A7sus4 Em7 (x4)
VERSE:
C(add9) G
Sitting by a Judas mantel
Bm Em
Underneath where I can tell
C(add9) G
Found the places I’m destroying
Bm Em
Only hoped you’d be there still
C(add9) G
Could not find a way to be it
Bm Em
I don’t even mind this time
C(add9) G
Here we’d like to get things over
Bm Em
Life, love, anything at all
CHORUS:
C(add9) G A7sus4 Em7
And when the morning comes we’ll sit here
C(add9) G A7sus4 Em7
And when the atom breaks we’ll just stare
C(add9) G A7sus4 Em7
And my life goes underground
C(add9) G A7sus4 Em7
And my life goes underground
VERSE:
Sitting by a Judas mantel
Underneath, well I’ve been there
Could not right the only pieces
Test out anything you will
CHORUS:
And when the morning comes, we sit here
And when the atom breaks, and we stare
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground
VERSE:
Sitting by a Judas mantel
Very well what we define
Counted up the broken pieces
Here we want to redefine
All dementia memory brought for
All the weakness we can’t tell
Understood that I discover
Right here everything is well
C(add9) G Bm Em (x4)
CHORUS:
And when the morning comes, we’ll sit here
And when the saddle breaks, I’ll stand still
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground
(switch to VERSE chords):
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground...
If I left it all the same, well it doesn’t mean
No it doesn’t mean that it’s not personal
And I never understood why the faces fade
It’s so irrational
As the atoms start to phase
And I knew it couldn’t mean that much to me
And I never understood where the friends all go
No it’s not so personal
(end with CHORUS chords):
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground
And my life goes underground....

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 MOIST 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.
