Antonin Artaud -Bauhaus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Transcribed by: John Mc Donagh(mcdonghj@unix2.tcd.ie)

The basic Chords for this song are

F(I) 1-3-3-2-1-1 B(VII) 7-9-9-8-7-7 F(XIII) 13-15-15-14-13-13

I play the main riff something like this(I haven't the LP here)..

e|---13--13--------13\--7--7-----7/--

B|---13-----13-----13\--7----7---7/--

G|---14--------14--14\--8------8-8/-- repeat adlib...

D|---15------------15\--9--------9/-- / = slide up, \ = slide down

A|-----------------------------------

E|-----------------------------------

You play this for the intro, and the verses, but where you see the chords

Strum the chords something like down-up-down for each chord!

The young man held a gun to the head of God,

Stick this holy cow,

Put the audience in action,

Let the slaughtered take a bow

F(XIII)/// B(VII)/// F(I)/// B(VII)///

{Repeat until lyrics start up again}

The old mans words, white hot knives

Slicing through worm butter

The butter is the heart

The rancid pealing soul

Chords:

For the next verse just Strum F(I) twice, pause and repeat.Listen to the album.

Scratch pictures on asylum walls

Broken nails and match sticks

Hypodermic, hypodermic, hypodermic, red fix

Back to Riff...

One mans poison is another mans meat

one mans agony another mans treat

Artaud lived with his neck placed properly in the noose

Eyes black with pain, limbs in clamps(vamps) contorted

The theatre and its double, the void and the aborted

For this outro, I think you alternately strum the B chord and strum deadend

strings, whilst the tempo increases...

Those indians wank on his bones... (Repeat until end)

Lyrics from Italian Lyric Book.
