------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A History Of Bad Men - Melvins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: FenderMaster Email: joemickkelly@yahoo.com Artist: (the) Melvins Album: (A) Senile Animal Song: A History Of Bad Men This is my first tab, it’s pretty easy, but a badass song, and really fun to play. The intro solo isn’t complete, it’s just a rough idea of what to play, so mess around with and have fun! At the end (outro) there’s some weird scratching, it sound’s like Buzz’s guitar is speaking, if anyone can tell me how to play that part it’d be great. Tuning: drop D Intro (roll the bass and midd down) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-8b-7-5-7/8-10-8-7---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| d|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse (half bend) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--3b-0-0-6b-0-3-5-3-0--0-6b--0-3-5-3-0--0-6b--0-3-5-3-0--------------------| A|--3b-0-0-6b-0-3-5-3-0--0-6b--0-3-5-3-0--0-6b--0-3-5-3-0--------------------| d|--3b-0-0-6b-0-3-5-3-0--0-6b--0-3-5-3-0--0-6b--0-3-5-3-0--------------------| Bridge (Dire, Dire, Dire, its fleeting) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-6p5h6p5h6p5---------------------------------------------------------------| d|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Outro (towards the end, you should palm mute slightly) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-3-3h5-0-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-3-3h5-0----8-8-8-8-7-5----------------------------------------------------| d|-3-3h5-0-------------------------------------------------------------------| Lyrics (my interpretation) (Verse) Wake up, you never looked so glum, how'd you know, they can't hear us coming? , its easy for me, I got a head-start, running away Keep up, your disease spreads quick, how'd you learn to be sick so cunning, it's easy to sing, but you just keep on humming along Do you hear that? I've got a real bad feeling. How many bones, do you suppose they're keeping? Don't make a sound, they're not dead, just sleeping (bridge) Dire, Dire, Dire, it’s fleeting Dire, Dire, Dire, it’s fleeting Dire, Dire, Dire, it’s fleeting Dire, Dire, Dire, it’s fleeting Dire, Dire, Dire, it’s fleeting Dire, Dire, Dire, it’s fleeting (Verse) Wake up, you never looked so glum, how'd you know, they can't hear us coming? , Its easy for me, I got a head-start, running away Keep up, your disease spreads quick, how'd you learn to be sick so cunning, It’s easy to sing, but you just keep on humming along Do you hear that?
