No capo
Intro and Chorus:
G D7 G
And the band played on
G C5 D
As the helicopters whirred
C A7 G Em
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
G D G
My senses finally blurred
Verse:
D7 G C5 G
He was a rock, to the end a solid reminder
Am D7
Couldn't deny a friend
D7 G C5 G
We lived in the noise and the sweet amber posion
Bm C
Peekin' up the skirt of the end
D7 G C5 G
And we'd drink, two gnarly dudes and some records
Am D7
Much like plates of black food
D7 G C5 G
We filled up our faces, saw some far places
Bm C D7
Stood on the roof in the nude
-Chorus-
Verse:
Between poles, he said "we're like cows in the grass"
Brushing off flies
Chaise lounging around standing up, falling down
'Till we no longer opened our eyes
And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war
Cup 'o' troops o'er the gums
To the end of our health a campaign 'gaisnt myself
Armed with bourons and scotches and rums
-Chorus-
Verse:
Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster
Whether it's right or it's wrong
We opened the window, played some Nintendo
Sang a few bars of some pretty old song:
G C G D G
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
G G7 C
Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene
G D7 G D7
I'll see you in my dreams
Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction
Flying graceful and free
None but the best cause the man cannot rest
'Till he's finally beaten his me
-Chorus-
Verse:
'Till the end, he passed out on the sun deck that morning
Quietly saying goodbye
But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered
Told him he couldn't just die
He was a rock, went straight for his own armageddon
Face froze in a grin
Ambulance flyin' in I never drank again
Can't really call that a loss or a win
-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 MOXY FRUVOUS 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.
