^AAnother sub^C#m7urban family m^Dorning. ^Dsus2 ^AGrandmother s^C#m7creaming at the w^Dall. ^Dsus2 ^AWe have to s^C#m7hout above the d^Din of our R^Dsus2ice Crispies ^AWe can't hear a^C#m7nything at a^Dll. ^Dsus2

A Bm7/11/nr B7/11/nr Bm7/11/nr Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration, A Bm7/11/nr B7/11/nr Bm7/11/nr But we know all her suicides are fake.

D^F/Aaddy only s^Dm6tares into the d^F/Aistance ^Dm6 There's o^F/Anly so much m^Dm6ore that he can t^Eake.

^Esus4Many miles a^Fmaj7way something c^G6rawls from the slime ^Fmaj7 E E? E At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake.

^AAnother ind^C#m7ustrial ugly m^Dorning ^Dsus2 ^AThe factory belches f^C#m7ilth into the s^Dky. ^Dsus2 ^AHe walks unh^C#m7indered through the p^Dicket lines t^Dsus2oday, ^AHe doesn't t^C#m7hink to wonder w^Dhy. ^Dsus2

A Bm7/11/nr B7/11/nr Bm7/11/nr The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street, A Bm7/11/nr B7/11/nr Bm7/11/nr But all he ever thinks to do is watch.

And e^F/Avery single m^Dm6eeting with his so-c^F/Aalled superior ^Dm6 Is a hum^F/Ailiating k^Dm6ick in the crotch. ^E

^Esus4Many miles a^Fmaj7way something c^G6rawls to the surface ^Fmaj7 E E? E Of a dark Scottish lake.

( Play the intro again 4 times singing "Yeee-ooo-ooo" ) Another working day has ended. Only the rush hour hell to face. Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes. Contestants in a suicidal race. Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance, He knows that something somewhere has to break. He sees the family home now looming in the headlights, The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache.

^Esus4Many miles a^Fmaj7way there's a s^G6hadow on the door ^Fmaj7 E E? Of a cottage on the shore E E? E E? E?? E? E E? E E? E+11 Of a dark Scottish lake

Opening riff is the same but riff into verse I us e: E ----------------- B ----------------- G -------5-7------- D ---7-7----------- (or could use 2 2; 0 2 up a string) A ----------------- E ----------------- For the verses I use the riff: PM........| PM...........| -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ----2-----2----4-4-4-4-2-----4---4-4-4-4-2-- -------------------------------------------- --0-----4----------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- 2nd part of verse ------------------------- ------------------------- --6-6---7-7---8-8---7-7-- --7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-- repeat --0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-- ------------------------- 3rd part of verse PM.....| PM..........| PM..| ------------------------------------- ----------5-5--------------5-5------- ------4-4-----4-4------3-3-----3-3--- --0-0--------------0-0--------------- repeat ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------- --9-9-9-7---9---9-9-9-7-- --9-9-9-7---9---9-9-9-7-- --9-9-9-7---9---9-9-9-7-- ------------------------- ------------------------- chorus lightly palm muted ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ----2---2-2------2---2-2------4---4-4------2---2-2--- --2---2-----2-/3---3-----3-/5---5-----5-/3---3-----3- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ----1---1-1------2---2-2------1---1-1------2------5-7- --2---2-----2--2---2-----2--2---2-----2--2----7-7----- ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ I usually just bend 17 on the B string followed by sliding the pick up and down the A and D strings for the solo break back into the intro riff. There is an extra 999/777 riff before the final chorus. The outro riff I just play the chorus chords as full chords ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- --2---------2---------4---------2- --2---------3---------5---------3- repeat and fade --0---------0---------0---------0- ---------------------------------- This was from memory so I might have screwed a couple of numbers up. Hope this helps. Chad
