Flower Gardens

guitar tabs lyrics

Chad VanGaalen

This is my first tab. It's not exact, but there aren't any videos of him playing this
live, and it's a very noisy song with a lot of clutter and effects on all of the instruments.

Bass Intro is just the first fret repeated with distortion
G----------------------|
D----------------------|
A----------------------|
E-1111111111111111-----|

Bass + Guitar play the same thing for the main verse riff, just in different octaves

E-------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------1-1-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------|
A--------1-1-3-3----------------------------------------|
E-1-1-4-4-----------------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------1-1-------------------------------|
A---------1-1-3-3-----3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3-3-----------|
E-1-1-4-4-------------------------------------------|

Chorus - I'm not sure this is entirely correct, but this part is hard to hear. There
are two guitars and the other is making a lot of noise with feedback and really low
dischordant notes, which I can't figure out. I've tabbed out two different ways to play
it which sound like they fit (even if they aren't necessarily the correct way to play it)

1st way
E----------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------|
G----------------------------------------|
D-15/17-15-------------15-15-17-17-------|
A----------15-15-18-18-------------------|
E----------------------------------------|

2nd way
E-----------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-10-10-8-8-8-8-8-8-10-------------10-10-10-10--|
E----------------------11-11/13-13--------------|

Lyrics:

If you wanna get close to it
You'll have to p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pay
Just don't bother getting used to it
If there's no t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time

Chorus
I know it's all gonna end (x4)

If you wanna get inside of it
You'll be swimming through the p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pipes
You know we just make the most of it
If there's no t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time

Chorus

If you wanna get close to it
You'll have to p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pay
Just don't bother getting used to it
If there's no t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time
