Notice that i am trying to line up notes with syllables
in the parts with words; however, listening to it is still
the best way to get your timing right.
Intro
riff 1
G|--9-8-7---------------------|
D|-------9-8-7-5---7------5---|
A|-7-------------5---5--3---3-|
E|----------------------------|
riff 2
G|--9-8-7----------------------|
D|-------9-8-7-5---7------10---|
A|-7-------------5---5--8----8-|
E|-----------------------------|
Practice these SLOWLY at first, then gradually speed up.
Play:
riff 1, riff 2 (twice)
E (seventh fret, A string)
D (fifth fret, A string)
B (seventh fret, E string)
Verse
Notes are: G# = 4th fret E string
A = 5th fret E string
B = 7th fret E string
E = 7th fret A string
G# A E
another song about how much t.v. sucks
G# A B
washes your brain of intelligence
G# A E
you sit around all night and day
G# A B
was life really meant to be this way??
Chorus
riff c
G|--------------------------|
D|-----------------5--------|
A|-5h7-7-7-5h7-7-7----7--5--|
E|--------------------------|
The timing on this one is debatable. Just listen and get it
so it sounds good.
riff c
t.v. sucks!
riff c
t.v. sucks!
etc. etc.
Then play:
(long means straight sixteenths, short means short)
G#(long) A(long) E(short)
G#(long) A(long) B(short)
verse dos
G# A E
watching your life go down the tube
G# A B
and you wonder why every day's a rerun
G# A E
nothing different happens nothing new
G# A B
your life's a show and the show is over
riff c
t.v. sucks!
(etc. etc.)
G#(short) A(short) E(long)
G#(short) A(short) B(long)
verse III
G# A E
a waste of time of a created mind
G# A B
star trek's been airing far too long
G# A E
can you sleep at night without sight and sound?
G# A B
whatever happpened to reality?
t.v. sucks! (yet again)
Bridge thingy
G|-------9-7--------------------|
D|----9------9------------------|
A|--7--------------6-6-9-9-6-6--|
E|-------------7-7--------------|
Play that riff four times, then go back to "t.v. sucks!"
Ending:
Thrash about a bit (whilst playing the chorus riff),
scream "t.v. arrgh" and then end on a big ol E.
FIN
When you are learning the riffs, play them SLOW, then
get faster a little bit at a time. Otherwise you will
hurt yourself and i will be forced to kick you in the head.

That's that, and apologies to him whom i ousted from RWTC,
i just hadda get this out there.

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 MXPX 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.
