Hello, this is a tablature for the chords to the song "Merry Go Bye Bye/Nothing" by Mr.
Bungle. After seeing the only other tab on the site for this song (which only had the
intro with incorrect chords) only having 3 stars, I tried it out and decided to redo it
by completing the rest of the song.
I was not sure on how to tab the noise parts because they are seemingly completely
random, and in live shows Mr. Bungle would usually play something different and random during
those parts. I'd say put whatever loud noise you want there.
Thanks, and give me a comment/correction if'n something's wrong. Have a good one.

And you have to pDlay...

-heavier sound-
Bring back the pDainG of a god that's never bDlue,
You're in contGrol of the whFole damned uCniversDe!
Bring back the shDameG and the bright lights on a fDew,
It keeps me coGmming back to yDou!
Verse 3 (SONG TIME: 00:53):
-voice distortion-
DThe deaths were faked, the laughs were cries,
D7The resurrections are doing fF#mine,

You got me walking into sGuicide...

DWe reached for an outside point of view

To beam my mGessage into spAace as I dDie

Bring back the shDameG of a man who follows thrDough,

It keeps me coGming baAck to yDou...
Song ends at 6:17 on the chord D, then proceeds into the hidden track "Nothing".

NOTHING by MR. BUNGLE ("written" by Danny Heifetz and Theo Lengye)
For "Nothing" there isn't any guitar to speak of, but, like the noise sections from
"Merry Go Bye Bye", you can pretty much go wild on it near the end.
The drums have a semblance of a rhythm until the vocals start screaming.
-drum hihat and snare-
-crashes heard in background-
"IT'S ALL ON TAPE"
-noise- -multiple expletives-
-trumpets everywhere-
Thanks for reading my tab. Have a nice day.
