Group: Faith No More
Song : Digging The Grave
Album: King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime

Transcribed by: Martin van Aert (email: mvaert@iaehv.IAEhv.nl)

I may have messed up the Interlude-part, but the rest is pretty accurate.
Just use loads of distortion and a slight delay (aprox. 100 ms). Enjoy it!
Any suggestions and/or comments on this piece are welkom. I'm also still
looking for a good version of the Smashing Pumpkins version of Landslide.

SONG TEXT:

It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes on inside
Is only half of what comes out
Isn't that what it's about?
To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big, black hole
Comfortable
Digging the grave, I got it made
Let something in, or throw something out?
You left the door open wide
I know you have a reason why
That knot is better left untied
I just went and undid mine
It takes some time
And the shadows so big
It takes the sun out of the day
And the feeling goes away
If you close the door
Comfortable
