Afghan Whigs - Crime Scene Pt 1 guitar tab
crime scene pt. 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: The bass seems to be in dropped D (from low to high DADG). Although I have never heard of the whigs using this type of tuning I’ve tabbed it in that tuning anyway. The guitar is in normal tuning.
The song begins in Bb major, then in chorus it goes to F major

lyrics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
guitar and bass enter at 1:04 with riff 1
Riff 1
Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everyone who loves me
Stick it to my enemies, tonight
Then I disappear
Bathe my path in shining light
Set the dials to thrill me
Every secret has its price
This one's set to kill
Riff 2
Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one should I use?
If the lie succeeds
Then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets
To attend
Riff 3
Do you think I'm beautiful?
Or do you think I'm evil?
Will you take me for a ride?
The one that never ends
Riff 4
Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one shall I use?
If the lie succeeds
Then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets
To attend
Riff 1
Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
Riff 3
To everything that thrills me
As I throw the chains
I forged in life
To shatter on the floor
Riff 4
As I dream all the evidence
Is piling up against me
As I breathe all the essence rare
Is falling off the vine
And if you knew, just how smooth
I could stop it on the dime
You could meet me at the
scene of the crime
End with riff 1...
