"Zeroes" by Spacehog
from Resident Alien (1995)
tabbed by Jeremy Joseph (CheshirBat@aol.com)
----------------------
This majesticly hypnotic song is probably my favorite from
this album. It's not too hard to play, either, I'm surprised
no one else has tabbed it yet. Here goes...
It opens with an acoustic guitar:
e|-0-----0---0-----0----0-------0-------0-------0-------0--------|
B|-3--3--3/5-5--5--5/6--6--6\5--5--5\3--3--3/5--5--5/6--6--------|

D|-0--0----0-0------------------------------0--0----0-0----------|
A|---------------1-------------3---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
The main riff for the verse is this:
e|-------0---------------------0------------0---------|
B|----------3---------------------3------------3------|
G|----2------------%--------2------------2------------|(repeat)
D|-0--------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------1------------3---------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
And the "zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.." melody fades in&out:
e|--14---12------------------------------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------------10--|

Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As a world falls openwide
Like a wounded soldier falls
Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time
My lost awakening
I've found the same as life before
When after me another lonely wounded soldier falls
like light fantastic
that falls around my shoulder
fall
don't fall upon my shoulder
She gave me a call
So I gave her a smile
When I asked for her love
And what should I dial
...she said 'Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero'
Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As a world falls openwide
Like a wounded soldier falls
Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time
I gave her a car
So she gave me a smile
When I asked for her love
And what should I dial
...she said 'Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero'

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 SPACEHOG 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.
