Century
by +Live+
#4 on Secret Samadhi
transcribed by Andy Dufresne (dufresne@deskmedia.com)
This is one of the cooler songs on the new album. Tune down ? step
to Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. All chords are written as they would be
played in standard tuning (ie- the F# is technically an F). I would
make a chord key, but that would take a while and you should all
know these chords anyway. Ok, now the song:
E F#
Everybody's here
E
puke stinks like beer
F#
this could be a city
E
this could be a graveyard
F#
you stole my idea
E F#
you stole my idea
E F#
everybody's anxious
E
for the coming of the crisis
F#
the collapse of the justice
E
I can smell your armpits
F#
you stole my idea
E
you stole my idea
F#
you stole my idea
CHORUS:
F# G
this puke stinks like beer and everybody's here
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G F# E G F# E
let's lay waste to this century
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G E
return to nothing
E F#
everybody's anxious
E
the crowd is all around us
F#
the followers of Aldous
E
are spinning with their mescaline
F#
a man behind the altar screams
E
you stole my idea
F# E
you were my idea
(CHORUS)
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G F# E G F# E
let's lay waste to this century
BRIDGE:
F# G A
on the edge of a kiss, smack on the lips
Cm
dangled with tongue
F# G A
on the edge of a peace that can't stand low
Cm
and won't stand tall
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G F# E G F# E
let's lay waste to this century
G F#
come on, come on, come on
G E G F#
return to nothing, and help me
G F# E
it's amazing what we can do with love
G F# E G F# E
with some matches and gasoline, do with love
G F# E G F# E
it's amazing what we can do with love

"Century" by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi
This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.
Transcribed by spider@olemiss.edu
Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.
This is real easy, but here's one of the main chords he uses:
F#7 sus4/E (F sharp 7 suspended 4 with an E bass, I know, I know,
it sounds a lot harder than it actaully is. It's
basically an open E chord moved up two frets.)
eb:---0----|
Bb:---0----|
Gb:---2----|
Db:---4----|
Ab:---4----|
Eb:---0----|
Verse:
(using Chorus)
E F#7 sus4/E
Everybody's here... (simply repeat these two chords for the verse,
and listen to the song to get the correct
strumming pattern.)
Chorus:
(using distortion)
B
this puke stinks like beer,
(B)
and everybody's here, so
A G
come on, come on, come on,
F# E
let's lay waste to this
B A B
century...
A G
come on, come on, come on,
F# E
return to nothing...
(again, listen for the strumming pattern; there's some chunk-a-chunk-a
muting on the A chord. Also, all the other chorus' all simply extended
versions of the first, so listen for those changes, too)
Bridge:
F# G A
On the edge, of a kiss, smack on the lips
D
dangled with tongue
F# G A
On the edge, of a peace, that can't stand low
B
and won't stand tall!
That's pretty much all the parts to this song; just piece them together
and have fun!
