Swallowed, sorrowed, I'm with everyone and yet not

Im with everyone and yet not

In the middle of a world on a fish hook,

your the wave, your the wave, your the wave

*chorus*

Swallowed, borrowed, happy bout everything and yet not

Swallowed, hollowed, sharper bout everyone but yourself

Swallowed, I know, Im with everyone and yet not

Im with everyone and yet not

Im with everyone and yet not

Im with everyone and yet

Heres some, self-esteem enough

for words, busted me

sick head, blackened lungs and Im a

Simple, selfish son

*chorus*

Swallowed, borrowed, happy bout everything but my love

Swallowed, I know, Im with everyone and yet not

Im with everyone and yet not

Im with everyone and yet not

Gotta get away from here

Gotta get away from here

Gotta get away from here

Gotta get away from here

Miss the one that i love alot

Miss the one that i love alot

Miss the one that i love alot

I love

"Swallowed" by Bush

Transcribed by Pat Robison

>From the CD Razorblade Suitcase on Trauma Records

I assume the words and music are by Gavin Rossdale and Nigel Pulsford

(Lyrics as according to the CD)

****

I saw them play this song on SNL last week, so this is pretty close to

exactly how they do it

I haven't even seen the version of this in Guitar World, so I guess it could

be a wee bit different from that

KEY:

(V) - do a little vibrato baby!

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

* - play me muted

{Standard tuning}

Begins with Gavin doing this little strum thing using these chords

(So you can call this the verse)

G#maj C#maj C maj F maj

|--4-------------------------------------|

|--4---------------------------------8---|

|--5------------10-------------------10--|

|--6------------11---------------10------|

|--6--*-----11------------*---8----------|

|--4--*---9---------8--8--*--------------|

Warm sun feed me up . . .

Anyhow you do that four times and then launch into the chorus

The guitar's on a whole bunch of loud distortion, POUND THEM STRINGS DAMMIT!

(This is what Gavin's playing)

G#maj C maj C#maj A#maj

|----4-------------8-------------9-------------6------|

|----4-------------8-------------9-------------6------|

|----5-------------9-------------10------------7------|

|----6-------------10------------11------------8------|

|----6-------------10------------11------------8------|

|----4-------------8-------------9-------------6------|

Swallowed . . . Followed . . . Heavy bout everything etc.

Meanwhile back at the fort Nigel is playing some little whiny thing over

those chords that goes something like this...he uses at least a little

wah-wah effect

|-----------------------------------------9---9---------|

|---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-\-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-/-9---9---9-------|

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

|-------------------------------------------------11-11-|

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

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

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

|---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9\8-8-6-6-5---|

|-----------------------------5-|

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

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

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

Then it goes into a quiet part and I guess Gavin just hits the roots of the

intro chords...

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

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

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

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

|------------------------8-8-8---|

|-4-4--4-/-9--9-9--9-8-8---------|

plays that a couple times then says uh . . . "Just wanna be myself"

stops playing while bass plays on

then he goes "He said you would love to try some" and plays

G#maj C#maj

|---4-4----*----4-4-4-|

|---4-4----*----6-6-6-|

|---5-5----*----6-6-6-|

|---6-6----*----6-6-6-|

|---6-6----*----4-4-4-|

|---4-4----*----------|

He says something and does that again, then goes into the chorus

After that you get a little Jimmy Page mixed with Tom Sholes riff from Nigel

BUT FIRST! Gavin does this gradual bend with a pained look on his face

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

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

|----9-9-9-9-9b10-10-10-10-10-10b11-11-11-11-|

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

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

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

Then the riff...

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

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

|------------------8-9----9----9----------------------8-9----9----9---------|

|-/(V)6-6-6-6-6/10-----10---10---10-10--(V)6-6-6-6-6/10-----10---10---10-10-|

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

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

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

|-9---9---9--9----8---8---8--8-------------------15b16-16-16----------------|

|-11b-12b-13-13---10b-11b-12-12---/16b17-17-17----------------/16b-17-17----|

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

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

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

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

|-15b16-16-16-|

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

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

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

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

Oh yeah and Gavin is playing these back and forth under Nigel:

G#maj C Maj

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

|--4--------5---|

|--5--------5---|

|--6--------5---|

|--6--------3---|

|--4------------|

Then Nigel slides down I guess...

and the verse part starts up again, and they turn up the bass for part of it

Then it's back to the chorus!

They go to the riff part again, this time with Gavin singing over it and

Nigel kind of mixes a part of the riff with what he plays during the normal

chorus

Then everything just kind of calms down and Gavin hits a couple notes in the

verse chords and it ends with him playing this over and over:

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

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

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

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

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

|-4-4-*-4-4-4-*-4-4-4|

Unless, of course, that's the bass!!

LYRICS:

Warm sun, feed me up

I'm leery, loaded up

Loathing for a change

and I slip some boil away

Swallowed! Followed!

I'm heavy bout everything but my love

I'm with everyone and yet not

I'm with everyone and yet not

Just wanted to be myself

Hey you said you would love to try some

Hey you said you would love to die some

in the middle of a world on a fishhook

you're the wave, you're the wave, you're the wave

Swallowed! Borrowed!

Heavy bout everything but my love

Swallowed! Hollowed!

Sharp about everyone but yourself

Swallowed . . . oh no I'm with everyone and yet not

I'm with everyone and you're not, I'm on everyone and yet

Piss on self-esteem forward busted knee

Sick head, blackened lungs and I'm simple selfish son

Swallowed! Followed! Swallowed!

Oh no I'm with everyone and yet not

Got to get away from here

I miss the one that I love a lot

I miss the one that I love a lot

Lyrics

------

Warm sun, feed me up.

I'm leery, loaded up.

Loathing, for a change,

And I slip some, boil away.

Swallowed, followed.

Heavy about everything but my love.

Swallowed, sorrowed.

I'm with everyone and yet not.

Just wanted to be myself

Hey, you said you'd like to try some.

Hey, you said you'd like to die some.

In the middle of the world on a fishhook.

You're the wave.

Swallowed, borrowed.

Heavy about everything but my love.

Swallowed, hollowed.

Sharp about everyone but yourself.

Swallowed, oh no.

I'm with everyone and yet not.

Piss on, self esteem.

Foward, busted knee.

Sick head, blackened lungs.

And I'm simple, selfish son.

Swallowed, followed.

Heavy about everything but my love.

Swallowed, oh no.

I'm with everyone and yet not.

Got to get away from here,

I miss the one that I love a lot,

I love her.

These are the corrections to the song Swallowed, the other tab was quite a ways

off. Here is my rendition. This is my first tab.

Douse with Distortion!

Repeat a few times.

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

---------------6-----------------10-----|-----------------------------

---6--------6---------------10----------|-----------------------------

---6----4---------------8---------------|-----------------------------

---4---------------6/8------------------|-----------------------------

This is the next part where Gavin sings "Swallowed, Followed."

Gavin and Nigel use an effect that mixes a flanger and distortion.

Thats what gives it that neat "wohhhohhoh" sound.

"Swallowed" 3rd track off "Razorblade Suitcase"

By Bush Written by Gavin Rossdale

I saw this tabbed out by Marc Zeitlin , but it

was wrong. Except for the chorus, which I simplified down to power

chords. My tab also has a first guitar part, which is actually what

most of this file is.

So far all of the intros submitted for Swallowed by Bush have been pretty

sketchy so I decided to send in one that is very close to being down to

the note correct. It will make a nice addition to the tabs currently posted
