Lyrics by Andy Chaos
Guitar parts by Ben Shuber

032010 022000 000232

C D E minor
Also Ben uses them up an octave right after the second chorus, so just move them up to the
same place an octave higher. When strumming the full chords, strum 2 strings at a time
starting from the low E to the high E. When playing power chords during the chorus, attack
the strings it has to sound pissed off and mean! Also, during the second verse, while
playing the C and E minor chords, slowly slide the notes you’re holding up an entire octave,
then down and continue to the next chord. You want a rise-and fall effect while playing
it.
I don’t know if this song will ever be released, but we got copyrights so don’t steal it.
For the first verse, play through your amp clean and strum C for 2 measures then E minor
for 2 measures (song is in 4/4 time). When it gets to the chorus, kick on your distortion
pedal and hit the strings for a machine gun sound in this pattern- CCCCC CCCCC CCC CCCCC
CCCCC CD EEEEE EEEEE EEE EEEEE EEEEE E you kinda get it from that.

Also I forgot to note an the second chorus right before you go up an octave, instead of
