words and music the Jesus Lizard 1994

Here's another Jesus Lizard song, this one is even easier than Slaveship
and just as much fun to play.

chords you need to know:
    B5              A5               G5              E5      or     E5
(ii)      F#
EADGBe       EADGBe       EADGBe     EADGBe        EADGBe   EADGBe
x244xx        x022xx        355xxx      022xxx        x799xx    244322

     D5
EADGBe

Start with the chord progresion as shown:
B, A, G, E

Next comes the following:  (sort of like the chords but only playing the
fifth and adding "b"
e-----------------------------|

G----4----4----4-----4--------|
D---4----2--------------------|
A-2----0-----5-----2----------|
E------------3-----0----------|

Then comes:
    B B    D  B        F# F#  A   F#       BB      D   B    F#F# A F#
B B  D    B
e--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-4-4---7--4------------2---------4-4---7--4---------2-------4-4--7--4-----|
D-4-4---7--4----4--4---2--4------4-4---7--4---4-4--2--4----4-4--7--4-------|

E-----------------2--2------2---------------------2-2-----2----------------|

After this we have :
                        F# (x7)                F# (x7)
e-4-4-4-4-4--2--------4-4-4-4--2------------|
B-4-4-4-4-4--2--------4-4-4-4--2------------|
G-1-1-1-1-1--3--------1-1-1-1--3------------|
D--------------4------------------4---------|
A--------------4------------------4---------|
E---------------2------------------2--------|

That's the whole song, as usual Duane using the simplest things and making
them sound really cool.
