Date: 30 May 1995 20:20:43 -0500'Tractor Rape Chain' by Guided by Voicesfrom the album 'Bee Thousand'standard tuning (EBGDAE top to bottom)NOTE: I haven't tabbed the acoustic intro; if you want toexperiment, tune your guitar slightly flat from standardtuning and use variations of the verse chords.Also, I haven't included exact number of keystrokes in verseprogression; I tabbed it to show different voicings I use forsame named chords in the verse. If you have other voicings youprefer to use for these chords, be my guest (gee, thanks dude).verse progressionAsus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A A Asus2 A---0--0--0--0--------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-- ---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-- ---2--2--2--2--6--6--6--7--7--7--2--4--2--2--2--2--4--2-- ---2--2--2--2--7--7--7--7--7--7--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-- ---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-- ---------------------------------------------------------chorus chords (not in order)A A/G# Bm D E F#m--0-----0-----2-----2-----0-----2------ --2-----2-----3-----3-----0-----2------ --2-----2-----4-----2-----1-----2------ --2-----2-----4-----0-----2-----4------ --0-----0-----2-----------2-----4------ --------4-----2-----------0-----2------****** how it all goes together ******(acoustic intro not included)(play verse progression 2x no vocals....)(then continue to play verse progression while singing...)Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A A Asus2 Awhy is it everytime i think about youAsus2 A Asus4something that you have said or impliedA Asus2 A A Asus2 Amakes me doubt youAsus2 A Asus4then i look into your cynical eyesA Asus2 A A Asus2 Aand i know itAsus2 A Asus4as if it never meant anything to me(chorus)D A A/G#parallel lines on a slow decline tractor rape chainD Bm A F#mbetter yet lets all get wet on the tractor rape chainE Dspeed up slow down go all around in the end(again, play verse progression 2x no vocals....)(..and continue to play verse progression while singing...)Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A A Asus2 Ain the first place its probably just paranoiaAsus2 Abut theres a ghost in my roomAsus4 A Asus2 A A Asus2 Aand he says i better runAsus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A A Asus2 Aits a thing i know its a thing i believe inEwon't you tell it to go away?(repeat chorus)...questions, comments and corrections to jeffnmoe@mcs.com
