ROBOT - Nada Surf (from THE PROXIMITY EFFECT) Tabbed by: bmtran Email: http://scr.im/1mw Notes: I transcribed this from the live matthew caws video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lexJAO-1OiU . To my knowledge, it's completely correct (not that everyone doesn't say that about their tabs). I found that I couldn't find a tab or chords myself, so I thought I'd take a crack at writing one. This is my first set of tabs/chords. Hope you enjoy! Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Chords Used: Matthew uses pretty much every chord from Eb major in this song Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Bb Fm Gm e|--x-----x-----3-----4-----6-----x-----3--| B|--8-----8-----4-----4-----6-----9-----3--| G|--8-----8-----5-----5-----7-----10----3--| D|--8-----8-----5-----6-----8-----10----5--| A|--6-----5-----3-----6-----8-----8-----5--| E|--x-----x-----x-----4-----6-----x-----3--| Intro: Cm Ab e|------------------------------| B|----4---4---4---4---4---4---4-| G|-5---0---5---0---5---0---5----| x4 D|-5---5---5---5---6---6---6----| A|------------------------------| E|------------------------------| Verses: Cm Ab e||------------------------------------|| B||:------4---4---4---4---4---4---4---:|| G||----5---0---5---0---5---0---5-------|| D||----5---5---5---5---6---6---6-------|| A||:----------------------------------:|| E||------------------------------------|| [Verse] You're just walking round your little mazes figuring out how to get by, How to get laid and get famous, get yourself paid, impress the guys. You're taught to divide the world into buddies and wives, sluts and wimps; And ever since, you've kept a scorecard - how else to prove you're such the pimp. Eb Eb/D Cm Ab You are just a robot, executing a program. [Verse] You get on the train where the crowd is tightening to push yourself up against a girl, And when you're not getting play, you keep trying, you don't understand the consensual way. Eb Eb/D Cm Ab You are just a robot, an imitation of a man. [Verse] She told me one night when we were lying quiet and cold, something not right. It had been months since the good times, once there was sun, now there was night.
And she sBbaid to Abme as she Cmturned on the Eblight, "TheBbre's something you dAbon't know Cmthat keeps me from feeEbling right. I Bbonce knew a Abguy.Cm.. i'd seen him aEbround. He Bbknew all my AbfriendsCm... he came from Ebtown. FmOne night at a pAbarty..Fm. we both were Abthere, FmHe followed me into the Abbathroom..Fm. he grabbed my Abhair," And she said &Gmquot;i still remember just how the floor felt and hoAbw my head would hit the tub."
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Now where is that robot, is he alive or is he done? Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Does he breathe air that I breathe? Is he kept warm by the same sun? ===============================================================================
