The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
Tabbed by Jack Jutson
The intro is a bit strange, i think there are 2 guitars playing it. But heres the
basic chords to get you going. Just power chords F-C-C#. You work out the timing
for yourself, its pretty simple.
F C C#
E|---x----------x-----------x-----
B|---x----------x-----------x-----
D|---2----------5-----------6-----
G|---3----------5-----------6-----
A|---3----------3-----------4-----
F|---1----------x-----------x-----
Once the distorted intro is through, Phils acoustic comes in and plays the
following three chords.
Em Em11(7) A7 (sus2)
e|--0-------x--------x---|
B|--0-------x--------x---|
G|--0-------0--------2---|
D|--2-------4--------5---|
A|--2-------0--------0---|
E|--0-------2--------3---|
Emi took my Em11shirt off in the A7yard/no one Emsaw that the Em11skin on my shoulder was A7golden
now it's Emnot, my shirts back Em11on/i forgot my A7songs/the glow is gone
Em11my Emgliding Em11body A7stopped
(Here, the guitar stops playing, but you can still strum the chords, or play it
however you want. Or you can get a big organ and do it that way. Up to you.)
Emi could not get through sepEm11tember without a A7battle
i Em11face Emdeath, i went Em11in with my arms A7swinging
but i heard my own Embreath, and i had to Em11face that i'm still A7living
i'm still Emflesh, i hold Em11onto awful A7feelings
i'm not Emdead, there's no Em11end, my face is A7red
(And this bit here where phil does the really long notes is just crazy ambient
organs that dont fit into the guitar. Im sure there is a way, but not in my head,
so someone else come up with something.)
my blood flows harshly/my heart beats loudly
my chest still draws breath, i hold it, i'm buoyant
there's no end.
(heres the intrumental part at the end. Its only the really basic form, he mucks
around a bit, and has another guitar and a bass i do believe. This should just
get you going.)
