time tabbing this

Armatage Shanks (aka "Claustrophobic Mind")

Green Day

With some additional research, I uncovered this. Here are the real lyrics to

the song I thought was

called "Claustrophobic Mind". It's real title is "Armatage Shanks" and I

guess it was performed at

the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards. Sorry about the goof up. -Adam

Stranded

Lost inside myself

I always have been my own closest enemy

Well I'm branded

Maladjusted

Never trusted anyone out of myself

Why am I a sensation

Being a pesimist

I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Erected

Feel rejected

I'm prepared to silence all 3 in a year

Well I'm branded

Maladjusted

Never trusted anyone out of myself

I must insist

On being a pesimist

I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Branded

Lost inside myself

I always have been my own closest enemy

Well I'm branded

Maladjusted

Never trusted anyone out of myself

Why am I a sensation

Being a pesimist

I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Well I'm taking pressure for other pessimists

I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Claustrophobic Mind- GREEN DAY

tabbed by Adam Peiken

Here's a tab for only the truest of Green Day fans. This song is only played

at concerts,

and as of August '95, I have never seen it in release (even on imports). With

some luck,

this song will show up on Green Day's new album, along with "Geek Stink Love",

another great rarity. The lyrics (and the title) are guesses.

INTRO:

(downstroke 8'th notes) (into verse, fast succession)

Eb-------------------------------- Eb-C#-C-Bb

VERSE:

G# C#

Stranded,

G# C#

Lost inside myself.

F C# Eb

I always had my emotions in demand.

G# C#

Tragic,

G# C#

A rejection.

F C# Eb

I never trusted anyone besides myself.

CHORUS:

C# G# Eb G#

I must have said something to get in this mess,

C# G# Eb X2

I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind.

BRIDGE: X2

G# F

Yeah, yeah

G# F

Yeah, yeah

C# Eb

There is another verse using the same chords.

The first verse is repeated again later in the song.

End on an Eb. If you download this, take a minute

write me. I'm curious how many people have

heard of this or know where to find it. Thanks.

-Adam

BTW- My mail program doesn't always work right, and the spacing

might be a bit off. Sorry.
