A Boy And His Machine Gun


Song: A Boy And His Machine Gun Band: Matthew Good Band Album: Beautiful Midnight Tabbed by: Devil Monkey This whole song is tuned down a half step, so keep that in mind. You won't be able to actually play along unless you tune down, cause it's not possible, you'd have to play a half-step up. Anyway... Verse: B5 B5/ Bb? B5 B5/ Bb Don't move, stay right where you are B5 B5/ Bb B5 B5/ Bb Talking can only give you away E5 C#m5 And there's so nothing to say (Same pattern) The voices say hello Imprisoned, they're invisible E5 C#m5 But we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike This is boring, all we talk about is you C'mon give me a reason E5 C#m5 A boy and his machine gun Chorus: E B Abm F# If you're fi-nished strugglin' E B Abm F# Are ya fr-ee tonight? E B Abm Did they stick you in here F# E (let fade) Cuz you weren't workin right? Verse: Don't move, stay just like you are You look sane, motionless like that So very flat It's amazin what velocity can do When human beings are in season E5 C#m5 A boy and his machine gun E5 C#m5 If you're quiet we might see some Chorus: When you're finished strugglin' Are ya free tonight? Did they stick you in here Cuz you weren't workin' right? E, B, Abm, F# (same pattern) There's a TV in every room And it's free, even pay-per-view Which you'll need if no one's Gonna visit you E Animal C#m Fuckin' Animal E C#m E F# B C#m I know who you're waiting for E F# B C#m no one's comin' though Now it changes to this: ------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------| --6-6-6-9-4-4-4-9-2-2-2-9-4-4-4-9---------| --6-6-6-9-4-4-4-9-2-2-2-9-4-4-4-9---------| --4-4-4s7s2-2-2s7s0-0-0s7s2-2-2s7---------| (over that): So fuck you and your principals And fuck whatever made me Perhaps you think I'm evil What does it matter if we're crazy?
