The Front Bottoms - Twin size mattress

Written for the electric guitar version of the song, not as a stand-alone version. [Intro] [Verse 1] This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends' bodies When the floodwater comes, it ain't gonna be clear, it's gonna look like mud. But I will help you swim, I will help you swim, I'm gonna help you swim. [Verse 2] E (power chord - E A D strings) E (all strings) (Palm Mute) e|--0-0-0-0-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0|--0-0-0-0-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5| B|-0-0-0-0-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-|-0-0-0-0-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| This is for the snakes and the people they bite.
