I've taken the liberty to change one bit that I thought was wrong,
(the hammer on bit at the end of the main riff) otherwise, this
is an excellent tab of a bad ass song!
Main Riff (Clean)
h
e|----------------------------------------|
B|o-----3----2------------1----0---------o|
G|--------0----0------------0----0--------|
D|----------------2-------------------2---|
A|o--------------------------------0-2---o|
E|---0-----------------0------------------|
This riff is repeated through the first two verses, with a clean C
then A played at the end of the first verse, and a distorted C and A
at the end of the second verse.
Verse 1:
When you laugh, it just makes me cry,
When you cry, it just makes me smile,
When you smile, well that makes me mad,
C A
When you're mad, it just makes me laugh.
Verse 2:
When you're high, it just makes me low,
When you're low, it just picks me up,
You feel up, well that gets me down,
C A
When you're down, it makes me feel high.
The Chorus is played in powerchords (fifths), with distortion.
Chorus:
G A F# B C
And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less,
D
Blame it on the Bad Actress.
G A F# B C
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess,
D B E B E
Blame it on the Bad Actress.
Verse 3 is played the same as verse 2, then is followed by the chorus.
Verse 3:
If you leave, that means I'll stay,
If you stay, I'll just have to go,
When you go, then I'll have to wait,
C A
If you wait, I'll just have to leave.
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 TERRORVISION 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.
