--------------------

this is a pretty good song off the sixteen stone album. it isn't that

hard to play but is really cool to play. here is my best try at it.

chords used for this song:

C# |--4--| B |--2--| G |--3--| F# |--2--| Bb |-----| A |-----|

|--4--| |--2--| |--3--| |--2--| |-----| |-----|

|--6--| |--4--| |--3--| |--2--| |-----| |-----|

|--6--| |--4--| |--5--| |--4--| |--8--| |--7--|

|--4--| |--2--| |--5--| |--4--| |--8--| |--7--|

|-----| |-----| |--3--| |--2--| |--6--| |--5--|

these next chords, i don't know what they are called, so I will make

my own names for them (they are correct, i just don't know what they are

called.

C#(I) |------| B(I) |------| G(I) |------| F#(I) |------|

|------| |------| |------| |------|

|--13--| |--11--| |------| |------|

|--11--| |--9---| |--12--| |--11--|

|------| |------| |--10--| |--9---|

|------| |------| |------| |------|

============================================================================

guitar parts:

-------------

=======

verse:

------

the verse very simply goes like this (this is also the first thing you

hear when you play the song. At times the other guitar comes in and

plays the same chord at a different spot on the fretboard. when that

happens, then you play the C#(I), the B(I), the G(I), and the F#(I)

progression while another guitar just plays the regular verse riff.

======================

verse riff: C#-B-G-F#

(you must play the C# and the C#(I), the B and the B(I), the G and the

G(I), and the F# and the F#(I) at the same time for the song to sound

right)

======================

when the other guitar comes in and plays the C#(I), the B(I) etc., you

could definately hear it in the begining and he plays this progression

at various places throughout the song.

Chorus:

-------

the chorus is pretty easy, it goes like this

F#-Bb-F#-Bb-A

rythem fill #1:

---------------

at .23 seconds, .47 seconds, etc. the guitar plays this,

it just slides down from a G to an F#:

it goes:

E|--------|

B|--------|

G|--------|

D|--5//4--|

A|--5//4--|

E|--3//2--|

**another part of the song that occurs at 3.01 seconds in the song has the

following progression

Bb-A-F#

the bass just plays the above progression (but if you wanted to you

could play along with the bass with an clean electric guitar). A guitar

plays the below part a couple of times.

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

B|---------------------|

G|----------15---------|

D|------15-----15--13--|

A|--13-----------------|

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

bass guitar:

------------

this is played during the verse (when just the bass, drums and vocals are

going) and is played when the guitar plays the C#-B-G-F# progression

verse:

G|----------------------------|

D|----------------------------|

A|--4-4-4-2-2-2---------------|

E|--------------3--3-3-2-3-0--|

lyrics:

-------

could not believe

came here today

helmet was on

you blew me away

house is on fire

we're naked again

maybe all we need

is water and friends

shackless and chains

won't keep me away

temple is you

and my brow is insane

i wanna be just like you

i wanna feel right through you

i wanna see just with you

i wanna live

i wanna die

thinning ice

14 hairdryers

swimming to you

flame on earth desire

poor on the rise

rich on the fall

the cripple's with you

fame is a whore

i wanna fit inside you

i wanna room inside you

if money talks i wanna buy you

i wanna die

i wanna die

i wanna live you

i'm not scared of you

gave up on drugs

if i make it through

the jaws of love

jaws of love

you give
