Thick ~~by Tonic from Lemon Parade
Transcribed by Tom Frank @ Unsheated@aol.com
This song is played with pretty heavy distortion, but there is also an
acoustic guitar thrown in there by Hart like he does in mostly all of Tonic's
songs. It's fine to play without an acoustic guitar, which is actually the
third guitar used anyway in the song, because it doesn't make much of a
difference when playng it.
The song is played in standard tuning. All chords are played as power chords
except for Dm as shown below...
F G C D Dm
(E) -1----3----3----5----1-|
(B) -1----3----3----5----3-|
(G) -2----4----5----7----2-|
(D) -3----5----5----7----0-|
(A) -3----5----3----5----x-|
(E) -1----3----x----x----x-|
symbols used for tab: ~ = hammer down, p = palm mute,
/ = slide up, \ = slide down, ^ = bend half step
Here's the order it's played in:
Intro

When you're down and feelin' low
Not quite paid for; not quite sold
And they all have got you tricked
And the world has left you thick
**** Play this exactly for the first line, but for the rest of the **** lines
after it, slide up from F to G instead of just playing G. You can see what i
mean if you play along with the song. Also, only palm mute while playing F
and G...play C znd D clearly and fully open.

Cold water runs deep when she sleeps with broken faces

The outro is just basically the intro played heavier and with two guitars. I
have a feeling tht it might not be the same Dm played, because i think i can
hear a higher note sometimes. So for the outro you can try playing 56775x
instead of 1320xx. That's the whole song for ya.
Lyrics:
Oh my sugar she won't bend,
Fly with me
On your love she will depend,
Fly with me
When you're down and feelin' low
Not quite paid for; not quite sold
And they all have got you tricked
And the world has left you thick
My love, she dreams
when she sleeps with broken faces inside
Cold water runs deep
when she sleeps with broken faces
I can wonder, she can see
I roll over, she will breathe
All the others will make you smile
Just lay back girl, don't drive for a while
