"Zeroes" by Spacehog
from Resident Alien (1995)

tabbed by Jeremy Joseph (CheshirBat@aol.com)
----------------------

This majesticly hypnotic song is probably my favorite from
this album.  It's not too hard to play, either, I'm surprised
no one else has tabbed it yet.  Here goes...

It opens with an acoustic guitar:
e|-0-----0---0-----0----0-------0-------0-------0-------0--------|
B|-3--3--3/5-5--5--5/6--6--6\5--5--5\3--3--3/5--5--5/6--6--------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

e|------0-------0---------0-------0-------0---------------0--0--0|
B|-6/8--8--8\7--7--7/10--10-10\9--9--9\8--8--14-14-14-14/15-15-15|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

e|----0----0-0------0----0-0------0----0-0-----0----0-0----------|
B|----3----3-3------3----3-3------3----3-3-----3----3-3----------|
G|----2----2-2------2----2-2------2----2-2-----2----2-2----------|(x2)
D|-0--0----0-0------------------------------0--0----0-0----------|
A|---------------1-------------3---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|


The main riff for the verse is this:
e|-------0---------------------0------------0---------|
B|----------3---------------------3------------3------|
G|----2------------%--------2------------2------------|(repeat)
D|-0--------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------1------------3---------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

And the "zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.." melody fades in&out:
e|--14---12------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------15---14------12---12------15---14------12-------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------10--|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As a world falls openwide
Like a wounded soldier falls
Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time

My lost awakening
I've found the same as life before
When after me another lonely wounded soldier falls
like light fantastic
that falls around my shoulder
fall
don't fall upon my shoulder

She gave me a call
So I gave her a smile
When I asked for her love
And what should I dial

...she said 'Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero'

Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As a world falls openwide
Like a wounded soldier falls
Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time

I gave her a car
So she gave me a smile
When I asked for her love
And what should I dial

...she said 'Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero'
