This should have all the correct chords to the song with the main intro riff.
I didn't tab the lead part that comes in halfway through the song.
I play the chords as simple power chords, which gives more of a low-fi sound than
open or full bar chords.
Tuning: Standard
Main Riff/Intro:
e---------------------------|
B---------------------------|
G---------------------------|
D---------------------------|
A--0-0-2-0--0-5--0-4--0-2-0-|
E-0--------0----0----0------|
Verse 1:
Ei am a scientist - iD seek to C#understand me
Eall of my impurities andD evils yet C#unknown
Ei am a journalist - i Dwrite to you C#to show you
Ei am an incurable and Dnothing else C#behaves like Eme
Chorus:
Aand i know what's right
Gbut i'm losing sight of the clues
Efor which i Dsearch and choose to abuse
Eto just unBlock my mind
Eyeah, and just unlock my mind
Verse 2:
i am a pharmacist
prescriptions i will fill you
potions, pills and medicines
to ease your painful lives
i am a lost soul
i shoot myself with rock & roll
the hole i dig is bottomless
but nothing else can set me free
Chorus 2:
and i know what's right
but i'm losing sight of the clues
for which i search and choose to abuse
to just unlock my mind
yeah, and just unlock my mind

End with a offbeat version of the Intro Riff
