1*****ALCOHOL*****
TABBED BY:J. T. Foust  ([email protected])
I Have Never Written A tab before nor will this look as pretty as yours
do on the Tab page but this is how I think Alcohol Off of Becks single
should go. Beck is actually in tune for this! I strongly suggest trying
to read what I have written and listen to the song while playing!
Verse:
chords until the end when you pluck it. You'll understand when you
listen to the song)
Chorus (if that's what you want to call it this part is hard to
explain):
pluck F# and then play B7 chord             
pluck B string play B7 chord
pluck F# string then play B7
pluck G then play G chord
pluck F# play B7                                  
Pluck G string play G chord string
pluck E string release and let open D resonate  
pluck B let open A resonate
go back and pluck B string play B7 chord
pluck F# then Go Back into the Verse chords
Well that was a Bitch to explain and I hope you understand. Take my
advice and listen while you play this will help on learning this
wonderful song!
Here are the lyrics:
Alcohol leaving me dry
now it is time for pie
taking them as they come
Alcohol please give me some
2*****ASSHOLE*****
TABBED BY: John Vettese ([email protected])
This one was a pain to figure out since it is tuned way the hell down.
Tuned down one and a half steps to be exact. I have seen him do this live
and he doesn't tune down so you don't really have to either but if you
want to play along with One Foot In The Grave it's kinda neccecary.
Chord Voicings:
C: 0 3 2 0 1 0
E: 0 2 2 1 0 0
A: 0 0 2 2 2 0
F: 1 3 3 2 x x
Your brains went black when she took back her mouth
and put it out into the sun
The birds did fly when the heavens all went dry
And the cigarettes are smokin by themselves
CHORUS
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole
Call her name she looks the same as you
question mark stretched across the skin
She dangles carrots makes you feel embarressed
to be the fool you know you are
(Chorus)
That's basically it!
Later!
JOHn
3***** BLACKHOLE *****
TABBED BY: John Vettese ([email protected])
OK this song is in an alternate tuning but I think I have it figured out.
maybe down a couple steps or so...I can't tell. The intro basically strums
open strings. The verse goes like this:
1: 0   0    2/4 0  2/4 0   0  /7 7 7 7  5  4
2: 0   0    2/4 0  2/4 0   0  /7 7 7 7  5  4
3: 0   0    2/4 0  2/4 0   0  /7 7 7 7  5  4
4: 0   0    0   0  0   0   0   0 0 0 0  0  0
5: 0   0    0   0  0   0   0   0        0  0
6: 0   0    0   0  0   0   0   0        0  0
1: 0   0    2/4 0  2/4 0   0  /7 7 7 7  9  4
2: 0   0    2/4 0  2/4 0   0  /7 7 7 7  9  4
3: 0   0    2/4 0  2/4 0   0  /7 7 7 7  9  4
4: 0   0    0   0  0   0   0   0 0 0 0  0  0

6: 0   0    0   0  0   0   0   0        0  0
Then I think there's another part like this:
1: /12  12  12  12  10  10  10  10  4  4  4  4  7  7  7  7
2: /12  12  12  12  10  10  10  10  4  4  4  4  7  7  7  7
3: /12  12  12  12  10  10  10  10  4  4  4  4  7  7  7  7
4:   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0
5:   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0
6:   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0
1: 0    0  0
2: 0    0  0
3: 0    0  0
4: 2/4  5  5
5: 0    0  0
6: 2/4  5  5
That's basically it. Don't worry about wether or not your guitar is exactly
in tune when playing this. Beck's never is. :)
4*****BOGUSFLOW*****
TABBED BY:[email protected]      [email protected]  (my "permanent" address)
Here's the song off of the DGC rarities CD....the song is called Bogusflow
(duh)
Monkey see monkey die        
                                               
Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
Cause it's squallin' and it's solid and it's          
Completely rancid and beautiful
Like a forcefield of multiplying meat
Cut a hole in the floor just to see
Just how close to hell we're standing.                          
Time shoots forward in your skull
Scattered to the four winds trapped in a bucket
Riding lamposts moldy toast
Excitement level.....zero      
Rock the casba (sp?) bring the noise
Amplified dishwashers exploring the boring to the core
people with cordless personalities
runnin round in new wave bionic jogging suits
California....white boy sound
Rocket powered and nailed to the ground
New age old age totally lame
Straight to the middle of the road
Rewind the tape play the whole thing backwards
with the sound completely turned off
Every once in a while....when i play the G chord (it sounds best to play the
standard chords not power chords)  i  strum it a few times then hammer on
the note on the A string....listen to the song and maybe you'll understand
what i'm talking about.  It's not critical but it adds to the song.
A lot of times i suck at guitar tabs so if i've got anything wrong write me
and tell me or if ya just wanna say "good job here's 5 bucks" you can do
that too.  :^)
later                        
5*****BURNT ORANGE PEEL*****
TABBED BY:  Alan Tapper ([email protected])
For the the chords on this song I find it best to play the chords by
I play the A chord up the neck.  I do the same on the E string except
when I play the normal G chord.  I don't know whether it's tuned up or
down.  Some of the lyrics are probably wrong but then you never know
with Beck.  (I've put the lyrics that I'm pretty sure are wrong but
can't work out anyway in brackets.  If anyone knows them then lucky
you.)  Most of chords last for one bar where they only last half a
bar I've put (1/2) after them it probably just makes things more
confusing.
4 bars of A# (listen to the song to get the rythm)
(Of all the golden) things to be
I got a garden hose and a colour TV
I got time   on my hands
I got time   on my hands
Nobody cares            
What I do               
(Of all the golden) things to do
                                          
I got burnt orange peel (and fish in stew)
I got work   to get done       
I got work   to get done
Nobody knows             
Where to run                               
I got a quart of milk and some (sound advice)
I got trees (like bacon) but they smell so nice
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Don't give   me the blues          
Nobody knows                
(What we give)                                    
Back and forth dodge and fly
Like vender in the sky
Might be   out of change         
Give me   all your cash
Nobody knows              
So let's just go home               
(ends with lots of different chords and mutes)        
6*****CANCELED CHEQUE*****
TABBED BY:Michael J Cahill ([email protected])
Main cords
I hate to do this but you're a pain in the neck
I thought you knew this you're handing me a canceled cheque
And you've been moanin' you're girlfriends think you're a saint
I'll give you a quarter I'll keep my judgments to my self
I get caught up in the moonlight
reaching out for a rotten egg
I don't wanna bay it's crystal clear you're time is nearly gone
You're building your mansion it's something you ought to avoid
You've got momentum building out in the void
The stormy weather the kid's are makin a racket
You got some magic conjuring your chaos too
I get......(same)                                     
7*****CYANIDE BREATH MINT*****
TABBED BY: Lysbeth Guillorn ([email protected])
Cyanide Breath Mint by Beck can be found on the disc One Foot in the
Grave.                                           
 It's tuned down to D so it's
            
I just wrote the chords down as if the guitar were in E.  This seems
to matchup pretty well with the CD so just listen and strum as you see fit.
A           F         D               G
Definitely this is the wrong place to be
  F      C
there's blood on the futon
  E     A
there's a kid drinkin' fire.
Goin' down to the sea      
they got people to meet
F C
shakin' hands with themselves
            E    F-------->slide to Gflat
lookin' out for themselves.
 C      F                  G
When they ask you for credit
F         C
give them a branch.
C       F         G
When they want you to get it
F           C
chew on the grass.
I know I know   
'cause they  told me to tell you
there's nothing to tell you
there's nothing to sell you.
(Same chords as first part)
In the afternoon riding the scapegoat
burning equipment decomposing.
Cool off your jets
take off your sweats
I got a funny feeling
they got plastic in the afterlife.
(Same chords as second part:)
When they want you to cry                                          
leap into the sky.
When they suck your mind
like a pigeon you fly.
I know I know
it's the positive people
running from their time
looking for some feeling.
8*****DEVILS HAIRCUT*****
TABBED BY: Lithium Radio/Michael Gill([email protected]) or (Lemon [email protected])
Tuning: Standard (although Drop D works good too)     
Intro
A---------------3------------- x 4
E---0-----0--5----------------
There's not really any chords just the bass playing the intro =
but this is how i play it:         
Verse 1:                         
Somethings wrong cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look theres a dead end waiting
Temperatures droppin at the rotten oasis
stealing kisses from the lepers faces
Intro 4x
Heads are hangin from the garbage man trees
mouthwash jukebox gasoline
pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets =
smiling eyes whipping out of their sockets
for that little synth. part do this:                            
e---3/8----------------------------
B---3/8----------------------------
G---3/8----------------------------
w/bass doing intro in background
Chorus                
Got a devil's haircut in my mind (x 4)
the little ending figure at the end of the chorus goes something like this:
B-3--2--1----0-1-2-3-4-3----3--2--1--0--2-0-2-----------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 2:
Lovin' machines on the sympathy crutches
discount orgies on the dropout buses
hitchin a ride with the bleedin' noses
comin to town with the brief case blues
the synth part:               
B---3b-----------------------------
G---3b-----------------------------
Chorus                                                
then for the little interlude do this for awhile:
B----------9/4-------0--------9/4-----------
for the 3rd verse you can just play the =
intro along with the bass or the synth part:
(you have to listen real closely to hear the synth)
for the 1st 2 lines of the verse play this
----------------------------------------
--2-----2-------2-2---------------------
for the 3rd line play the same thing on the D string
for the 4th line go back to A string =
you really have to listen to get a feel for this
play the chorus chords over the feedback              
back to chorus
w/ending figure
End
play intro along with ending figure for first 2 bars =
then drop the ending figure while he's screaming
the last time he screams drop the guitar
And that's it!
I play open chords throughout this songs
9*****FUME*****
TABBED BY: John Vettese ([email protected])
I just love tabbing obscure Beck songs! Here's one off of the Loser single
and IMHO one of the best Beck songs ever...     
Tune your bass to Drop D and tune your guitar down 1 whole step.
"My friend picked me up..."           
Bass                                           
1:                                                   
2:                                                    
3:
4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 /5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
play that 3x then                     
1:                                                          
2:                                   
3:                                          
4: 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2        
That was pretty much the bassline for this entire part...the guitar plays
feedback during that part then for the chorus it does this:
"There's a Fume"
The Heavy part is pretty much this:
with the corresponding bassline.

TABBED BY: Jarrett Frankel ([email protected])
with assistance from John McCain
Yet another beautiful acoustic Beck tune from his essential independent
release One Foot In The Grave. It's a simple tune so learn it quick and
impress the one you secrectly love(you can substitue "girl" with "boy" if
that's your gig y'know?).  Maybe they'll love you for it.
(Standard tuning will work for this one though I think it might be tuned
down a step. Try what ever works best.)
You're just the girl of my dreams
But it seems my dreams never come true                
You're just the girl of my dreams
But it seems my dreams never come true         
I first met you down on Lover's Lane
The birds were insane  flapping all about
Softly you would sing swinging in your swing
It wasn't night it wasn't day

12*****Heartland Feelings*****
TABBED BY: Jarrett Frankel ([email protected])
with much help from John McCain.
Here's a sprawling yet immensely jolly epic from the current "Slack
Laureate" of these United States: Beck. If you liked "Mexico" this one's
for you. You can hear this cut on his cassette-only release from a few
years back Golden Feelings released on the independent label Sonic Enemy.
This will have to do until the new DGC album hits the streets huh? By the
way I've placed the chords over the lyric that marks the progression.
However the last time I uploaded a file to Nevada things shifted out of
place. Beware and enjoy.
Spoken word intro:
What we're talking about here is kind of a...it's a...Heartland Feeling.
Mellencamp you know kind of a Mellen-feeling.
Ok. What you gotta get together is a Heartland folk singer:
John Couger Mellencamp Bruce Springsteen Bob Seeger;
That type of feeling: a Mellen-feeling.
You know a real powerful approving music
Of a Heartland quality just powerful straight-forward music.
And if you can't get just the right type of feeling
Find someone who will pass and change them.
Old Man Johnson got his head in his hand
Makin' his way across state in a fiddlin' band
With his hair all down in his eyes
And the microphone all covered with flies.
When he gets done playin' goes back to his room       
Climbs into bed in his cowboy boots
And he picks up a magazine turns on the TV
Lights a cigar as he's fallin' asleep.
Well he's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
Yeah nothing happenin'...that's about it.
Yeah......
Well little Rosanna came from Texarkana
Had fourteen dollars wrapped in a bandana.     
Came into town not lookin' for much
Well she found a hound dog and she named him "Dutch."
She got a job at the arcade takin' quarters
But she was never too good at takin' orders
So one night she stopped givin' out change
She kicked the boss in the chin and unplugged the games.
She's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
Nothin' happenin'...That's about it.
Ooh ooh.  Yeah yeah yeah.
Sam got canned at the cannery
He punched out the clock that night.     
His knuckle was bleeding as he walked home
He was cold and he had a headache.
Well his wife was cookin' canned beans
He took out all the money out of his jeans
And he set it on fire in the kitchen sink
As his wife handed him a drink.
He was only a person...who didn't know shit.
Nothin' happenin'...that's about it.
Uh yeah oh.  Wooh ooh ooh ooh...
Smiley was lookin' for handouts
sleepin' in a abandoned lighthouse.
Down at the mini-mall shakin' his hat
Washin' windows with his bare hand.
He found a sports car with the keys
In the ignition it just seemed so easy.
He took a joyride drove into a hedge
Came out with the steering wheel wrapped around his head.
Well he's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
Nothin' happenin'...that's about it.
Ooh ooh yeah yeah.
Well Jane was born in a small town
Everybody just standing around.
They had bingo games and a raffle
everybody chewin' tobacco.
Well she grew up kinda restless
All her boyfriends wanted to be dentists(dead-ass?).
And she got a job at the truck stop
And she got all fast and never did what she wanted
And she's only a person...who doesn't know shit.
Nothing happenin'...that's about it.
Yeah yeah yo...
Oh yeah...oh yeah yeah yeah oh.
Woo ooh ooh....

13*****I`VE SEEN THE LAND BEYOND*****
TABBED BY Tom Mallon([email protected])
(Note: for the words I used the main voice and ignored the background
       one which sings something slightly different here and there.)
Intro:
>From these shores where we belong
I have seen the land beyond
Where the lord is strange and strong
I have seen the land beyond
There's no telling who'll be dead
When the pale horse is turning red
And their tongues will burn in vain
And everything will feel the same
There's no patience there's no peace
I have seen the land beyond
Where the gravestones never cease
I have seen the land beyond
Through the troubles of the years
A heavenly apparition appears
And we're haunted by our own minds
And the spirit calls in the skies
 From these shores where we belong
I have seen the land beyond
I'll be there and I'll be gone
I have seen the land beyond

TABBED BY: John Vettese ([email protected])
This was kinda a spur of the moment type thing but I was listening to One

The second solo is just a variation on that random arpaggiations on the

Hell I'll even give you the drum transcription! The entire thing is played
on the bass drum so it is relatively easy...

Well there aint nobody left to impress
and everyone's kissing their own hands
its 666 on the kichen floor
aint no fire in the pan
i get lonesome (4x)
so glad to be a slab
stiff as a stick on a board
i get thoughts and dirty socks
piled in the corner
i get lonesome (4x)     
Getting fat on your own fears   
bring that beer over here
i stomp on the ground      
just to make a sound      
i get lonesome

and hes talking to me
and i can not believe
and i wanted to be

16*****JACK-ASS*****
acoustic guitar
basically just two chords....
I been driftin' along in the same stale shoes
Loose ends tyin' the noose in the back of my mind
If you thought that you were makin' your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
Put it together
It's a strange invitation
that should give you the idea. when you listen to the part with just vox
and guitar you can hear it well.

(play open E chord).      
intro: hang on B chord        
verse:
  You only got one finger left and it's pointin' at the door
And you're takin' for granted what the lord's laid on the floor
So I'm pickin' up the pieces and I'm puttin' them up for sale
Throw your meal ticket out the window put your skeletons in jail
chorus:
    Cuz lord only knows it's gettin' late  
    Your senses are gone so don't you hesitaeeyaeeyate
To get yourself a job
Let your bottom dollars fall
Throwin' your two-bit cares down the drain
(little drum break)
hammer-ons and pull-offs on the fifth and seventh frets of the B string
ending up with a slide to the ninth fret.
(repeat verse diff. lyrics)
(repeat chorus diff. lyrics)
interlude:
        
Aurele  aurele aurele aurele
do that a few times then:
(this part is a little incomplete)
D --0-2-0-0-2-4-2
-2-----2-------
and while one guitar does that start doing this:
-5-5-5---5-5-5--
G --------7-------7 (repeat and fade)
goin' back to houston....
I think that the fuzzy guitar you hear in the front throughout the song is
just playing the root notes of the chords. I didn't really try to figure it
out though.

TABBED BY:[email protected] (Richard T. Eppink)
A fairly simple song nonetheless there was a request so:
It's in drop D so do all that.                      
The intro/verse part is played with a slide and goes as follows
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
D---0-0--12-0-12---12\------0-0--12-0-12---12\------------------
A---0-0--12-0-12---12\\-----0-0--12-0-12---12\\-----------------
D---0-0--12-0-12---12\\\----0-0--12-0-12---12\\\----------------
That continues over and over through out.      
The other part that is played over the slide part is as
follows:                  
B-----------7-7-7-5-5-----------7-7-7-8-8-----------------------
---7-7-9-7-------------7-7-9-7---------------------------------
And that is also repeated over and over at different parts.
19*****MEXICO*****
Ok this is a simplified version of "mexico" beck's song on the Rare on Air
compilation album.  It's missing the cool little solo parts in it but i'm
not THAT good at guitar yet.  if anyone knows them please post em!!!
                                                     
Come gather round me people here's a story you never heard
Bout me and my friends and some things that occured            
                                              
Thought we'd get some money we thought that me might go
Spent the weekend pleasant down in mexico           
I was workin at Mcdonalds doing the late night run              
when a car pulled up the drive thru and pointed out a gun                
said gimme all your money and three big macs to go                   
I stuffed them all in a sack and i ducked down below             
Well the boss was angry when he found out that i didn't  call the police
I guess i was kinda nervous there was a warrant out on me
concerning some jaywalkin tickets i couldn't afford to pay
needless to say i got the axe that same day
Well me being outta work just then i couldn't afford to go home
mom said if i lost this job i've have to go out on my own
so i went over to dave's house and i got really stoned
called up some girls but none of them were home
Steve came over and he brought some alcohol
we all got really depressed just staring at the wall
we thought we'd get some money we thought that we might go
spent the weekend pleasant down in mexico
Steve's dad had a huntin rifle and we went and picked it up
we stopped at a 7-11 to try out our luck
we pulled out that huntin rifle but the counter guy just laughed
as he pulled out an uzi we turned and hauled ass.
We ran so fast till we came to the Mcdonalds where i used to work
we walked up to the drive thru and gave my boss a jerk
said give us all you money and 3 big macs to go
and suck on this you weasel we're going to mexico
When we got there we got really wasted dave got a case of the runs
we all got hungover and we were getting low on funds
steve and dave called there parents and took the bus back home.
me I got a job at Mcdonalds.....down in Mexico
I suck at tabs so if this is wrong tell me.

Tabbed by:Soapsteak  ([email protected])
Most chords last 1 bar where they only last 1/2 a bar I've put (1/2).
Starts with 4 bars of G        
You came you went  
My mind it got a dent
I couldn't make my rent   
'Cause all my cash was lent              
This town is filled
With thousand dollar bills  
Laminated songs
Contaminated loans          
Well we eat about fifteen times a day                 
Staring through a bag of fritolet              
And I play with the fire in the stove            
                                                                  
When my eyes peel out and my fingertips get cold
           
Well it's real and it's fake
And it's flaming like a steak
And she's puttin' out my face    
With the rake          
Oh honey you knew
    That you were
My one and only blur                     
Unglued depressed
The meatloaf in my chest  
Personality test
I failed with the best             
And I stomped and I stormed
And I passed out in your dorm     
When you hussled me outside        
I couldn't catch a ride           
Will the subway train speak to me now                     
I'm browsing through the supermarket town                    
And the girls don't talk when I'm around                 
                                                              And
I'm feeling bad even though nothing's wrong.                       
                       (1/2) (1/2)                        
              choking on a breathmint

I'm going to put lyrics in here just so that you know where the chords
are supposed to go. I'm not saying these are the actual lyrics just
the way I hear them.
I'm not sure whether this is played on guitar or on distorted bass. I'm
guessing there's probably a little bit of both. Play everything as power
chords and distort as much as much as possible. Have fun.                                     
Because I matched the chords with the words it may be a little hard to
follow along with (and may be off too) so here's the tab for how these
parts go.

For the distorted part just play the same things but with a
distorted bass playing the root notes an octave lower.
When the bridge is over a little keyboard (maybe guitar?) comes in
and plays this:

B ---------------------------------------------------
G ---------------------------------------------------
D -10---------8---------6----------------------------

Repeat the intro riff then make a lot of noise.
I'm not going to tab out the synth bit at the end but if anyone else
wants to feel free to add it.
25***** OUTCOME*****     
 TABBED BY:Tom Mallon (tsm[email protected])
I'm only going to do two of the parts here the main riff and what the
bass is playing during the chorus. I'm not going to try to figure out
the slide bits I would just screw around in B for those parts and see
what you get. Here's enough to get you started though.
MAIN VERSE RIFF                                                
E ------------------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------------------------------
D -------7-6-----------4-3------------------------------------
A ------------------------------------------------------------
E ---7-------------5------------------------------------------
During the chorus the bass plays descending from the 7th fret
each and the B like 15 or 16. At the end of the song the bass just
moves up the neck from B. Enjoy.
26*****OZZY*****
TABBED BY: Taylor Skidmore ([email protected])
This CD is wicked cool.  If you like Beck BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!
    This is one of the best songs on the CD IMHO.  The guitar is
    acoustic and in the background.  This sorta sounds wrong when you
    play it along with the CD but I think Beck might tune down or
    something like that like he usually does.  Anyway if anyone
    knows a better way to play this please post it!
    Ozzy ozzy ozzy ozzy..
And you just play that for the whole song.  If anyone knows the
   lyrics please e-mail them to me or post them.

27*****PAINTED EYELIDS*****
TABBED BY: Zak Watson  [email protected]
This song comes from the One Foot in the Grave album on K records.  
If you don't have it I would highly recomend its immediate purchase.  
These chords are played by hitting the lowest note first followed by a
few strums and that pattern is repeated.  Your best bet is to listen to
the CD for the exact rhythm.  Also there may be some pulloffs/hammerons
around the A chord (Perhaps a second guitar?).  Anyway this is pretty
much it. Any corrections or additions will be greatly appreciated.
Intro:
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
The world is your oyster and the trashbags are your kids
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin through the sky
and every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
Chorus(kind of):
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
the buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
There's a police siren singin like a tiger with no skin
the sewer drain is glowin and I don't know what state I'm in
And the river is on fire and there's chemicals and debris
All the roads are blocked off  it's just too hard to see
So cancel my appointment and set up a whole new show
'Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
(Harmonica solo over verse chords 1x)
                                 
So get me plate of money and get me blanket and chair
The limitations are limitless they're floating through the air
'Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
And there's nothin that I wouldn't talk about with the clearest
dream that ever drifted by...
Fade on verse chords with harmonica and sounds
Hope you enjoy it                                     
-Zak Watson    
28*****PAY NO MIND*****
TABBED BY: [email protected] (Mario Gagnon)   ?????
The guitar on the album is a little bit off standard tuning so you'll
probably have to retune if you want to play along.  I think it sounds
better to tune the whole guitar down a whole step so you can play the
-- in open position (as --).
ton[]ight the []ity is []ull of whores    
and []ll the toi[]lets are overfl[]owing
there's sho[]pping ma[]lls coming o[]ut of the w[]alls
as we w[]alk out []ong the ma[]nure
[]that's why   [][]
I pay no mind  [][][]      
give the finger to the rock and roll singer
as he's dancing upon your paycheck
the sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
like a giant dildo crushing the sun
that's why
I pay no mind
I sleep in slime
I just got signed
so get out your lead pipe pipe dreams
get out your ten-foot flags
the insects are huge and the poison's all been used
and the drugs won't kill your day job
that's why
I pay no mind

32*****SATAN GAVE ME A TACO*****
TABBED BY: MR JOHN M VETTESE ([email protected])
This is a cool song off one of Beck's indie albums Stereopathetic Soul
Manure. If you don't have it I suggest getting it. The chord progression
is the same throughout the song except they add a banjo at some point.
Since I don't play banjo or have any desire to I will just give you the chords.

Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard
I was getting kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard
There was aphids on the lettuce and I ate every one
And after I was done the salsa melted off my tongue
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
And the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat
My stomach was tremblin' and I broke out in a rash
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash
So I went and found a hose tore off all my clothes
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose
Some old lady came along and she flat out was a freak
So she beat me with her handbag 'til I could hardly speak
I was lying there naked my body badly bruised
In a pool of my own blood unconscious and confused
When the cops came and got me and threw me in their van
And I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand
They took me to the judge his eyes were glowing red
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead
The sheriff was a hell-hound with fangs and claws
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls
The air was getting thick the smoke was getting thicker
The judge read the verdict said Cut off his head
Well they placed me on the altar they raised up the axe
My head was about to explode when I noticed the Marshall stacks
I noticed all the smoke machines cameras and lights
Some guy with a microphone runnin' around dancin' in tights  and I noticed
The crew and the band playin' down below
And I realized I was in a rock'n'roll [video]
So I went and joined the band and I went out on tour
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure
I made out with the groupies started fires backstage
Made a lot of money and I gave it all away
Well the band got killed so I started a solo career
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell
Cookin' with the devil fryin' down in hell

36*****THUNDER   PEEL*****
TABBED BY: John Vettese ([email protected])
This isn't as difficult as it sounds since even though a slide is used it
is played in standard tuning.
The intro has two guitar tracks and numerous vocal tracks. I tabbed it for
one guitar since the two parts are pretty much the same.
Intro (w/slide):
3:    14         7         14\      7   (7)/(14)   14\       (14) 14
4: 14    14\(7)    7/(14) (14)\  7 (7)  (7)/(14)   14\(7)  7/(14)   14\ (7)
3: /(14)  14\       /(14)  14\      /(14)  14\      /(14)  14\      /(9)~~~
4: /(14)  14\(7)   7/(14)  14\(7)  7/(14)  14\(7)  7/(14)  14\(7)  7/(9)~~~
(turn on destortion get some feedback make noise then)
Rest of song (w/out slide):   
4: 7  7  /12 12 12
5: 7  7  /12 12 12
6: 5  5  /10 10 10
play 8x then:
3: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
4: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
5: 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
The song completely falls apart at 1 minute 28 seconds. Make noise from
there out.

its a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
its an everlasting its a ghettoblasting
on the wonderwheel i got my thunderpeel
i made an effort to get just what i deserve
i got on my strap i got fatso belt
i was jumping around it was your mother coming down
in the flick of a chick i got to take my pick
I'm taking morphine!!!         
now im rolling in sweat with a loaf of cold bread
and a taco in my jeans on the ??? it glides
its got such a good thighs i got taken by surprise
with the flavored flavored donuts
its a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
its an everlasting its a ghettoblasting
on the wonderwheel i got a thunderpeel
i made an effort to get just what i deserve
THE END!!           
37*****TRUCKDRIVIN NEIGHBOURS DOWNSTAIRS (YELLOW SWEAT)*****
TABBED BY: S. Brown (shawn[email protected]))
Note: The guitar on this is tuned down one step as it is on a lot of songs
on this album.  Is anyone has transcribed any more Beck songs let me know.
The first guitar part on the verses is as follows
The second guitar part is just kind of improvised

Acid casualty with a reposessed car
Vietnam vet playin air guitar                                  
Chorus:
Its just the shit kicking speed takin truck drivin
neighbors downstairs
Whiskey stained buck toothed back woods creep
Grizzly bear motherfucker never goes to sleep
Belly floppin naked in a pool of yellow sweat
Screamin jack ass with a wet cigarette
Psychotic break down double edged axe
Growin hair like a shag rug on a greasy back
