Big Long Now
(by Kurdt Kobain)


This depressing song is off of -Incesticide-. I think it was cutely and
perfectly written not just for simplicity but for the feel of it. I do
not know. The verse riff is:


E ---------------
B ---------------
G -------------0- this is played over and over again. The unopen strings
D -----0--------- are played palm muted while the open string are played
A ---8---8---8--- normally.
E -9-------9-----


The song goes:

(Riff)
It~s not cold enough
Please put his side up
She is moon gray

Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff)
Can we show our faces now

I~m not in a string
She~s not turning gray
Simple as it seems

Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff)
Can we show our faces now

D5 C#5
Endless climb!
D5 C#5 G5
I am blind
D5 C#5
Why canUy I eat
D5 C#5 G5
Call a lie
D5 C#5
Speaking a phrase
D5 C#5 G5
Instantly grown
D5 C#5
Lord I~m blind
D5 C#5 G5 F#5 F5 F5
Waiting in line

(Riff)

This continues on for another verse and chorus and that is basically the
whole song.
