@SONG: * DROWNING

(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu,

 and Paul Hutchinson )



(intro): |G   Fadd9|  x8



G                Fadd9	            G	           Fadd9

Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right

Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?

Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate

Time to make the world a better place



Why must we hate one another?

Well no matter what we gotta live together

Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see

When we pass on the street what do you wanna see?



Am-C-Am-G-Am-C-D



Peace coming is all I gotta say

Wanna turn and run away

They're just telling you how they see it

Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit



Am-C-Am-G-Am-F-G



  C        F     G            F

   Drowning in a sea of tears

   Hatred trying to hide your fears

   Living only for yourself

   Hating everybody else

   Cause they don't look like you



|G   Fadd9|  x4



Nancy singing it's a hard life wherever you go

About some fat racist living in Chicago

Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone

Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?



Am-C-Am-G-Am-C-D



Why must we hate one another?

When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother

You don't walk like a redneck, you don't talk like redneck

Go back to Africa, I just don't understand



(chorus)



(solo): |G   Fadd9|  x8



(C-F-G-F)

(Drowning) I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but

(Hatred)   When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see?

           I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man

(Living)   No I'm not like you

           Why do you hate me so?

           I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

(Hating)   Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you

................

There are two rhythm guitars here. A clean electric (mixed left) strums

chords throughout the song. Note that Fadd9 is played as 1x3213 (playing the

bass string with your thumb). An acoustic (mixed right) is played with a capo

on the fifth fret - to convert the chords:

 G becomes D, Fadd9 => Cadd9 (x32033), Am => Em, C => G, F => C, D => A



There are also two lead guitars in this song, which play the solo and the

links between the verses. They play power chords for the Am-C... things.

If you only have one lead guitarist in your band, you can loosely approximate

both guitar parts with a pitch shifter by playing the right channel guitar

(the one on top) with pitch shifter set to a perfect 4th (5 frets) above- use

your ears and change the bits which end up sounding particularly daft.
