Debaser

===============================================================
[I've included the bass part as it is kind of vital to this
song. Beginners -- you can emulate it on guitar by ignoring
your high E and B strings]

[Also, any further requests for Pixies songs, let me know --
I'm in a groove, it may not last long.]

Wave of mutilation
The Pixies

Here are the chords to this song:

F A Bb G7 Bb-A-G7-F
Ceased to resist, given my goodbyes
F A Bb G7 Bb-A-G7-F
Drove my car into the ocean
F A Bb G7
You think I'm dead but I sail away
F A Bb F A Bb F A Bb
On a wave of mutilation wave of mutilation wave of mutilation
F Bb
Wave
F Bb
Wave

If you're playing the U.K. Surf Mix, turn to a mellow reverby setting and play
all the chords. On the _Doolittle_ version, the chords during the verse are
not played; get a bass-playin' friend to play just the roots of the chords,
or have another guitarist fake it on the bottom strings. [NOTE: I'm just
talking about the chords that go on while Francis is singing-- the four-chord
runs at the end of each line of the verse should always be played. If you've
heard the song you know what I'm talking about.]

The verse chords should all be played in an E-barre shape. For the chorus,
play the F as before, but play the A open and the Bb as an A barred up one
fret.

On this true hormos a night

Ed is dead (4x)

She's just rotting in stupid bliss
With music on her bars uh
Her face burning in the L.A. sun
She got no got no fear of cars
I better kick my strand cruiser
To the friendlier oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ed is dead (4x)

Ed is dead ...

why do you come so far and she said

everything i needed and i wanted
used to be that in my head was haunted

and all these sirens they make me mad
and all this violence it brings me down
i feel strong
i feel lucky


trying to get to you

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Put it on when I go lonely
Am C D E5
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you di-i-ie

Sitting here wishing on the cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Head On

As soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catching sparks of you

I get a little 'lectric charge from you

A second hand living it just won't do

F G
And the way I feel tonight
C F
I could die and I wouldn't mind
G
And there's something going on inside

C
Makes you wanna feel

Makes you wanna try
F G
Makes you blow the stars from the sky

C
And I can't stand up I can't cool down
(F) (G) C F G
I can't get my head off the ground

C
As soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catching sparks of you

And all I ever got from you

Is all I ever took from you

F G
And the world could die in pain
C F
And I wouldn't feel no shame
G
And there's nothing holding me to blame

C
Makes you wanna feel

Makes you wanna try
F G
Makes you blow the stars from the sky
C
And I'm taking myself to the dirty part of town
F G C
Where all my troubles can be found
F G
I say yeah, yeah, yeah

The Holiday Song
Pixies


intro: c-d-b-c with high e drone

that little nifty melody line that begins each verse is : c b a g eg eg a /
c b a g eg e b c...

the chords for the verse go:
A C F C A C F C
well sit right down my wicked son and let me tell you a story
A C F C A F C F
about a boy who fell from glory and how he was a wicked son

chorus:
G F A C F C

this ain't no holiday no, no
G F
but it always turns out this way

D f# g a g f#

here i am with my hands

i guess that pretty much sums it up; i would not want to desecrate any
one's interpretation of the other verse(s) or the solo by documenting
them here. oh yes, the chords at the end go A C F A instead of ACFC.

Monkey Gone To Heaven

D-B
D-E-F#-A-D

It goes:
D:/ /// B:/ ///
D:/ /// E:// F#:/// A:/ D:begin again
Nimrod's Son
Pixies


Still not sure what this one means (of course, that goes for
most every Pixies song) but you could certainly guess that
Black Francis isn't too crazy about his parents. And of course
I've murdered the lyrics again.

One night I upon my motorcycle

The joke is not upon me


In my motorcycle mirror
I think about the life I've had
And how my soul's in pink[?]
and the holes where I had bled

My image spoke to me
Yes to me and upped and said
'You are the son of incestuous union'
One two three

Now my head is clear
My <something> bought
My daughter's pure
My son is whole

Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's Son

Oh bury me far away please
Bury me

The joke is not upon me

I had to play it tapping, but a faster player could do it with the
left hand...

The middle instrumental is based on the intro...

U-mass
Pixies


G F C D

and the rhythm figure is basically

eight sixteenth sixteenth eighth half-tie-eighth
G G G G F
C C C C D

the chorus is slightly different:

F G Bb C
F C C F

and all the chorus chords are quarter notes.

Broken Face
The Pixies


I got a broken face
I got a
I got a broken face

A
I got broken face *2

A
There was this boy who had two

Children with his sisters
A
They were his daughters
C G
They were his favourite lovers

A D B E A
I got no lips, I got no tongue
D B E A
Where there were eyes there's only space
D B E A
I got no lips, I got no tongue

A
I got a broken face, uh-hu, uh-hu
I got a broken face

There was this man who snapped his poke
In little pieces
And then they drilled holes
And then they put 'em back in there

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face

The little thing who loves my mother
Speaks no English
But if you saw her
You'd say "Hey isn't she lovely"

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue


As far as I can tell all the chords are Emaj and Amaj bar chords, although I
could easily be convinced that this is not the case.

F-F#-Bb-B

I get lost a bit after that until.....

Please, if anyone can...help fill in the missing parts.
THis is a great song to play and sing. Very fun and twisted.
