SCREAMING SKULL
>VERSE: theres just that one chord, C5, then rake in rhythm as kim says
>the werds. by C5 i mean the root note on the E string (8th fret) plus
>the fifth on the A string (10th fret) and possibly the octave on the D
>string (10th fret) if yr not too lazy. by rake i mean release the action
>a little so that the strings are muted, then strum up and down. with the
>right distortion this will sound like the album.
> C5 rake rake rake
> society
> C5 rake rake rake
> screaming skull etc.
>CHORUS: same idea, but with A#5 and G#5, alternately.
> A#5 rake rake rake
> i'll go there
> G#5 rake rake rake
> but i don't care
> A#5 rake rake rake
> i'll go there
> G#5 rake rake rake
> it's just to stare etc.
> C5 rake rake rake rake A#5 A#5 A#5 (do that once)
> pat smear
>SOLO: im so off on this. it really may be two guitars playing off each
>other by a fifth. dunno. the bass plays the verse/chorus structure through.
