"Rattlesnake" by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi

This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.

Transcribed by spider@olemiss.edu

Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.

Builds up with keyboards or something, then kicks in with this...

Intro:
(using heavy distortion)

Dm Dm Dm Dm


Verse:
(using chorus)

Dm
Let's go hang out in a mall,
A
or a morgue,
G Dm
smorgasbord...


Chorus:
(using heavy distortion)

Dm A G Dm
It's a crazy, crazy mixed up town...
C G Dm
It's the rattlesnake I fear...


Bridge:

Bb C F
(ahhh.... ahhh...)
Bb C Dm
Bb C F G G

Solo to the chorus chord progression.

That's pretty much it; just listen to the song to figure out where
everything goes. Oh, and the outro is the same as the intro.

Enjoy!
