@SONG: * DROWNING(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu,and Paul Hutchinson )(intro): G Fadd9 x8G Fadd9 G Fadd9Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all rightWhy is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hateTime to make the world a better placeWhy must we hate one another?Well no matter what we gotta live togetherJust that you don't look like me, tell me what do you seeWhen we pass on the street what do you wanna see?Am-C-Am-G-Am-C-DPeace coming is all I gotta sayWanna turn and run awayThey're just telling you how they see itRight or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quitAm-C-Am-G-Am-F-GC F G FDrowning in a sea of tearsHatred trying to hide your fearsLiving only for yourselfHating everybody elseCause they don't look like youG Fadd9 x4Nancy singing it's a hard life wherever you goAbout some fat racist living in ChicagoTrying to teach his kids to hate everyoneWell tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?Am-C-Am-G-Am-C-DWhy must we hate one another?When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brotherYou don't walk like a redneck, you don't talk like redneckGo back to Africa, I just don't understand(chorus)(solo): G Fadd9 x8(C-F-G-F)(Drowning) I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but(Hatred) When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see?I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man(Living) No I'm not like youWhy do you hate me so?I don't know, I don't know, I don't know(Hating) Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you................There are two rhythm guitars here. A clean electric (mixed left) strumschords throughout the song. Note that Fadd9 is played as 1x3213 (playing thebass string with your thumb). An acoustic (mixed right) is played with a capoon the fifth fret - to convert the chords:G becomes D, Fadd9 => Cadd9 (x32033), Am => Em, C => G, F => C, D => AThere are also two lead guitars in this song, which play the solo and thelinks between the verses. They play power chords for the Am-C... things.If you only have one lead guitarist in your band, you can loosely approximateboth guitar parts with a pitch shifter by playing the right channel guitar(the one on top) with pitch shifter set to a perfect 4th (5 frets) above- useyour ears and change the bits which end up sounding particularly daft.Intro:+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ++-------
