================ i'm so bad ================ This is one of my favorite songs on the Farewell album, but then, I have a lot of favorite songs on the farewell album. :) it starts out with this: (Fig. 1) E -------------------------------- B -------------------------------- G -------------------------------- D ------------------------6---6--- A ----2-----2-4---2-----2-4---4--- E -3----3-3-----3---3-3----------- Then it goes into this bridge-type thing: (Fig.2) E ------------------------------------------- B ------------------------------------------- G ------------------------------------------- D -5----8-x-------------5----8-x-----5-6----- A -3----6-x--6-5-4-3----3----6-x--6---------- E -----------4-3-2-1--------------4---------- The verse is just a bizarre variation on Fig.1, basically just floats around G, B, and C#. It breaks to Fig. 2 every now and then. Then it goes into "Late at night..." : E --------------------------------------------------- B --------------------------------------------------- G --------------------------------------------------- D -5-5-5-5-----------------6-6-6-6---------6-6-6-6--- A -3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4--- E ---------4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3---------3-3-3-3----------- The only other part in the song is the "I was born inside a cage..." part: E ----------------------------- B ----------------------------- G -5------8------5-------8----- D -5------8-6----5-------8-6--- A -3------6-6----3-------6-6--- E ----------4--------------4--- Which goes into this at times: E ----------------------------- B ----------------------------- G --------6--------------6----- D -5------6------5-------6----- A -5------4------5-------4----- E -3-------------3------------- Anyway, that's just about the whole song. As always, correction and comments are appreciated.

It seems like their using a slide, so I tried to tab it out so that it's possible to play with a slide on your pinky, without detuning the guitar.(even though I don't have a slide and have to strap a lighter to my finger.) But you can play it without the slide, and move the notes around if it's easier. And don't look for Mr. Timing, he's not there. So, on with the show... INTRO(palm muted except on the last two notes) Repeat four times e----------------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig.1 G-------------------------------7-----------------------------7----7\--- D--------------------------7----7-----------------------------7----7\--- A-----------3---------5--------------------3--------3----5----5----5\--- E---4---4--------4--------------------4---------4----------------------- e----------------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig.2 G----------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------2----------------------------2---------------------------------- A---4-------4---0----------------4-------4---0-------0------------------ E-------------------4---3---2--------------------4---------------------- I can't seem to find my way... (this is done with the slide) e---4--4----2\1/2\1/2-------4--4---------------------------------------- B---4--4----2\1/2\1/2-------4--4---------------------------------------- Fig.3 G------------------------------------11\-------------------------------- D------------------------------------11\-------------------------------- A----------------------------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------- Repeat four times, play Fig.2, and do the same thing for the next verse. Then it plays the intro again. Late at night... (play as power chord if you want it to sound fuller) e----------------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig.4 G----------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------------- A--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--2--0--0--0--0--0--0--2--0----------------------- E--------------------------------------------------4--4--4--4--4--4--4-- e----------------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------------- A--4--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----------------------4--5--5--5--5--5--5-- E-----------------------------4--4--4--4--4--4--4----------------------- Alley way,... (the bassline repeats, and this is the slide) e--4/9-----9\5-----4/5\4------4/10-----10\4-----4/10-------------------- B--4/9-----9\5-----4/5\4------4/10-----10\4-----4/10-------------------- Fig.5 G----------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------------- A----------------------------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro plays again under "I'll get you" I was born inside a cage...(I've got the bass and guitar tabbed together, and you have to take off the slide for this part.) e-----------------------------4--------5-------4--------5--------------- B-----------------------------5--------5-------5--------5--------------- Fig.6 G-----------------------------6--------6-------6--------6--------------- D-----------------------------6--------7-------6--------7--------------- A--------------0--2--4--2--4--4--7-----7--4----4--7-----7--------------- E--4--4--4--4-----------------------5--5-------------5--5--------------- Never do anything but rage... e-----------------------------4--------5-------4--------5--------------- B-----------------------------5--------5-------5--------5--------------- Fig.7 G-----------------------------6--------6-------6--------6--------------- D-----------------------------6--------7-------6--------7--------------- A--2--2--2--2--2--0-----2--4--4--7-----7--4----4--7-----7--------------- E--------------------4--------------5--5-------------5--5--------------- Although I try so hard...Repeat Fig.6 Love is something... e--------------------------------------4--------2-------4--------2--- B--------------------------------------4--------3-------4--------3--- Fig.8 G--------------------------------------5--------2-------5--------2--- D--------------------------------------6--1--0--0-------6--1--0--0--- A--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0-----------6----------------6------------ E-----------------------------4--2--4--4-----------4----4------------ I take what I need... e-------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig.9 G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------2-----------------2----------- A--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0-----2--4-----4--0--------4-----2--0---0- E-----------------------------4-----------------4-3-2------------4--- Then it goes back to the Intro, and the rest of the song follows the same patterns.
