ISRAEL'S SON by silverchair
Transcribed by Braamo (bpsmith@socs.uts.edu.au)
Repeated baseline on introduction:
E---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D---------------------------------|
A--5--5----------5-------------5--|
E--------0--(3)-----3--0--(3)-----| () = hammer
then guitar with distortion:
E------------------|
B------------------|
G---7--7--7--7-----| x 3
D---7--7--7--7-----|
A---5--5--5--5-----| followed by C power chord
E------------------|
then verse:
D C C
E----------------------------------|
B----------------------------------|
G--7--7----------5-------------5---|
D--7--7----------5-------------5---| repeated
A--5--5----------3-------------3---|
E--------0--(3)-----3--0--(3)------|
chorus:
D D C B C
E------------------------|
B------------------------|
G--7--7-----5-----4--5---| x 3
D--7--7-----5-----4--5---|
A--5--5--0--3--0--2--3---|
E------------------------|
then the chords Bb and Eb
Verse again
Chorus (x2)
D chord hold for many bars
Introduction baseline again
Verse as baseline only
Chorus (x2)
Then this baseline is played:
E----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
A----------------0--(3)--5---|
E--3--1--0--(3)--------------|
The chords to some of this baseline (ie. G F E C D) are
then played as the singing becomes shouting. The song
quickens in pace a bit at this stage and it becomes a
prick to play all the chords in time -
my advice, do ya best!

Verse Chords: A / / / G / D / C G A repeated until over-drive sets in:
A G D C G
The water out of the tap is very .... hard to
A B C

Following each C chord in this leadin to the chorus, this riff is played:
E---------------------------|
B---------------------------| Parentheses indicate hammering
G--------------3-(5)-0-2--|
D--------3-(5)-------------|
A--3-(5)-------------------|
E---------------------------|
This riff is closely followed by the A chord in the next series of
chords whether its the A-B-C of the leadin or the chorus itself (A-D-C-D)
after the second verse. The exception being in the first verse where the
song goes into a soft interlude:
E---5-5-10--12-10-----------8-10--12-10------------|
B---5-5-10--------10-12-10--8-10--------10-12-10-|
G---------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------|
As mentioned above, the chorus is simply A to D to C and back to D.
And thats the whole song:

FAULTLINE by silverchair
Transposed by Braamo (bpsmith@socs.uts.edu.au)
Not much tablature to speak of, just a shit loada chords:
A A6
E-------0-----------------------0---------------
B-------2-----------------------0---------------
G-------2-----------------------2---------------
D-------2-----------------------2---------------
A-------0-----------------------0---------------
E-----------------------------------------------
These are the two that are important, others such as C6 and Bb6 are
just the A6 chord on the 3rd and 2nd frets repectively.
Verse:
D D6 D C6 C C6 C C6 C C6
Unsuspecting brother .... doesn't know what to do
Bb6 Bb G
When everything just falls to the ground...
(same again)
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found.
Bb C Bb G
When he's been told, that he....
Chorus: [Over-drive/distortion]
F F F D F D#
Will never see the boy, will never see the boy,
Bb G
Will never see him open his eyes.
D F D
We'll never see the boy, we'll never see the boy
Bb G
We'll only hear his heavenly cries
Bb C Bb G F F F
Ooh yeah, ooh.
D A Bb G D A Bb C
Ooh! Ooh!
After second chorus, the interlude repeats:
D / A G F / / /
Chord progression before the song holds on C is
D / A G F E D C
In case you haven't figured it out, after the power C which holds for
8 beats a power D is played and held for 8 beats.
The song finishes with an indecipherable sequence which seems to be just
C and D in no particular order. I just play this by repeating:
E-----------------------------------------------|
B---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
G---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
D---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------|
The same chord progression described above is played (a little quicker)
after this little interlude and finishes like this:
C / / / / / / D

D---7-----7----5-----7---5---3---3---5---7---|
A---5-----8----3-----5---3---1---3---5---7---|
E--------------------------------1---3---5---|
Distorted Second guitar basically repeats the following
during the verse:
D5 / D5/F D5 / D5/F D5 C5 D5
D5 / D5/F D5 / D5/F D5 G A
The G and the A could probably be left out and you could just repeat
the first line over and over, and noone's really gonna notice.
For the chorus, repeat (including the beginning C (may be a
C5 if you can't be bothered) when repeating):
C G F G Bb
Pure Massacre!! Pure Massacre!!
D5 / D5/F D5 / D5/F D5 C5 D5
D5 / D5/F D5
The lead out of the chorus takes you
straight back into the verse chords.
There is an interlude:
D Bb C G D Bb C G
There's people crying ..... there's people dying.
D Bb C G D Bb C5
But someone's taking ..... it all...
These chords are also used at the end:
D Bb / C G

UNDECIDED by silverchair
Transcibed by Braamo (bpsmith@socs.uts.edu.au)
The boys may tune their guitars down a step
ie. D-A-F-C-G-D - but that's too much of a bugger
when you can "get away" with normal tuning:
There are various rhythms to the main riff in the song,
but if you stick by this and then adapt it to the
drumbeat, you won't go wrong:
E-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G---1__2--1--*----------*-----| * = silence
D---2__3--2--*--2--0--2-*-----| _ = slide
A---2__3--2--*--2--0--2-*-----|
E-----------------------------|
Change at end of verse:
G A Bb
-----
Chorus:
E G F Bb
Undecided,
E G D A
can't make up their mi-i-i-i-ind
E G F Bb
Her parents were lying,
E G D A
they've left you behi-i-i-i-ind...

Bridge:
F# / / / B / A E x 4

End:
E---------------------------|
B---------------------------|
G---------------------------| x 3
D--2--0--2--0--2--3--2--0---|
A--2--0--2--0--2--3--2--0---|then E chord to finish

* = every second repetition this adds a riff on the 9th and 11th
frets on the second string which is a little indecipherable,
no one notices the riff anyway, so just do anything.
Following the riff, the song reverts to the C#/C combo and then
into the chorus before finishing on a Bb.

ISRAEL'S SON
Hate is what I feel for you,
And I want you to know that I want you dead.
You're late for the execution,
If you're not here soon, I'll get a friend instead.
All the pain I feel, you're wounds start to heal.
All the while I like it, oh.
I hate you, I've no apathy
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here.
I'm there in this pantomime,
But I don't see a show and the signs of "fair".
All the pain I feel, you're wounds start to heal.
All the while I like it, oh.
This time I'm for real, my thinking of you,
You will be there when I'm there, oh.
Hate is what I feel for you,
And I want you to know that I want you dead.
You're late for the execution,
If you're not here soon, I'll get a friend instead.
All the pain I feel, you're wounds start to heal.
All the while I like it, oh.
This time I'm for real, my thinking of you,
You will be there when I'm there, oh.
Hate and execution.
Put your hands in the air!
Put your hands in the air!
Yeah...
Aaaah!!!
I am I am Israel's son, Israel's son I am.
Put your hands in the air!
Put your hands in the air!
I am I am Israel's son, Israel's son I am.
Put your hands in the air!
Put your hands in the air!
Aaaah!!!
Yeah!!!!!!!!
TOMORROW
It's twelve o'clock and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway...
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town?
The only way to get there is to go straight down.
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very...
Hard to drink...
Very hard to drink...
Ooh! Wait till tomorrow
Ooh! Wait till tomorrow
You say the money isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Ooh, babe well I strongly doubt it
Very hard to drink...
Very hard to drink...
You gonna wait till, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait till tomorrow.
You gonna wait till, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait till tomorrow.
Ooh! Wait till tomorrow
Ooh! Wait till tomorrow
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait till tomorrow.
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait till tomorrow.
ooh...

FAULTLINE
Unsuspecting brother, doesn't know what to do,
When everything just falls to the ground.
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue,
That his friend will never be found,
When he's informed
That he...
Will never see the boy,
Will never see the boy,
Will never see him open his eyes.
We'll never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
We'll only hear his heavenly cries...
ooh yeah ... ooh.

Thinking of the past, it's all over now
Will mother nature strike once again?
It happened oh so fast, now the question's how...
How could they let that building descend?

Will never see him open his eyes.
You'll never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
You'll only hear his heavenly cries...
ooh yeah ... ooh.
oooooohh ... ooooohhhh

While still you're alive, I live, I'm dead,
Leaving me all through the night.
Once he's born again, I need you to fight!
Need you in the fight, what he is!
PURE MASSACRE
River, dying, for no reason.
It is no difference, or if you're large or small.
Families been torn apart,
Doesn't have to be this way.
Some people just have no heart,
It's happening every day...
Pure Massacre!! Pure Massacre!!
Pure Massacre!! Pure Massacre!!
Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping,
Death is all around.
People crying for freedom,
Noone hears a sound.
Pure Massacre!! Pure Massacre!!
Pure Massacre!! Pure Massacre!!
There's people crying,
There's people dying.
But someone's taking
It all...

Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping,

SUICIDAL DREAM
I dream about, how it's gonna end,
Approaching me quickly.
Living a life of fear,
I only want my mind to be clear.
People making fun of me,
For no reason but jealousy.
I fantasise about my death,
I kill myself from holding my breath...
My suicidal dream...
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream...
I'm sure you will get your's too...
Help me, comfort me,
Stop me from feeling, what I'm feeling now!
The rope is here, now I'll find a use,
I'll kill myself, I'll put my head in the noose.
My suicidal dream...
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream...
I'm sure you will get your's too...
Dreamin' about my death,
Dream...
Suicidal! Suicidal! Suicidal Dream.
My suicidal, suicidal dream!
UNDECIDED
Ooh, There's no time to choose for yourself,
It's like the candle's lit at both ends now,
Did Syria rain in filth?
Parents breaking up. Wish they would decide
Whether the two of them together,
Can make up their mind.
They wonder why you need someone,
You get no freedom at all.
They want you to drop down and conform,
They make your self-esteem fall,
Undecided. Can't make up their mind.
Her parents were lying, they've left you behind.
If there's a lock to their minds, can you tell me please?
I wanna stay, stay to get the keys.
Undecided. Can't make up their mind.
Her parents were lying, they've left you behind.
Her mother doesn't even know her name, undecided.
If there is trouble she just gives up yeah, but denies it.
Undecided. Can't make up their mind.
Her parents were lying, they've left you behind.
Undecided, undecided.
Undecided, undecided.
ooh!
CICADA
When he was just a little boy,
He only had one favourite toy.
And he had nothing on his mind,
He never left anything behind, no...
As he got older things got worse,
Like he'd been born under a curse.
Things started to fall apart,
Well would life be well at the start? no...
It's like a civil war,
Growing up! It's like a civil war,
Don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore,
Growing up - it's like a civil war!
And now that he was in his jeans,
He started to live what life means.
Problems still appearing,
They didn't look like disappearing, no...
It's like a civil war,
Growing up! It's like a civil war,
Don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore,
Growing up!
Growing up! It's like a civil war,
Don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore,
Growing up! It's like a civil war,
Don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore,
Growing up - it's like a civil war!
FINDAWAY
You've been locked up, and needed to escape,
You proved to all it was a first offence.
A drug addiction subtracting all your priviliges,
Giving up just makes no sense.
We'll findaway
We'll findaway
Don't give in, don't give in.
Don't give in, don't give in.
All you can think about is breaking free,
You can make it on your own.
You're thinking negative, nothing can go right,
It's eatin' you down to the bone!
We'll findaway
We'll findaway
Don't give in, don't give in.
Don't give in, don't give in.
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We'll findaway
We'll findaway
Don't give in, don't give in.
Don't give in, don't give in. ooh!!
