["Cindy's On Methadone"]
[Intro]
A D B E
Cindy's on methadone, she's through with the syringe
A D B E (with slides from D#)
Cindy's on methadone, she's off of heroin
[Verse]
A D B E
Cindy is doing well, we're glad to have her home
A D B E
She slept in vomit, now she sleeps on methadone
[Chorus]
D A E
But she stopped ripping off her neighbors
D A E
Stopped taking change from strangers
D A E D E
Stopped shooting needles full of dreams into her arms
[Verse]
Cindy's on methadone, we see it in her eyes
Sounds so much better but it's just another high
[Chorus]
But she stopped calling at three-thirty
Stopped looking thin and dirty
Stopped screaming bloody murder when she got cut off
[ A / D / B / E ] x2 (with lead A)
D A E
Why don't you stop with your fake solutions
D A E
Stop covering up the truth and
D A E
Stop trying to make things smooth and
D A E
Stop acting like she's stupid
[ A / D / B / E ] x4 to end (with lead B)

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 SCREECHING WEASEL 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.
