Plastic Surgery
Leatherface
From Dog Disco
Leatherface�s music is many things: angular, guttural, complex, melody-
driven, rough, overlooked, amazing, layered, lyrical. But it is not, as a
general rule, beautiful. The exception is this song, far and away the
standout track on Dog Disco, and a world away from the serrated guitars that
animate Mush. With its minimal percussion and simple, slinky bass slides,
this song relies even more heavily than normal on Frankie Stubbs� lyricism
and raspy delivery. With Mush Leatherface can be credited with one of the
greatest punk albums of all time (no hyperbole � just the truth), and while
Dog Disco as a whole hardly reaches those heights �Plastic Surgery� itself
ranks as one of the band�s best moments.
Intro:
A F#m D A A F#m D-A-D-A-D-A*
*A note about this back-and-forth progression, since it�s important: this is
most easily (and probably correctly) played with first-position chords, and
is a very quick change that resembles a triplet beat on each chord. It�s
repeated throughout the song, so you have plenty of chances to hear it as
you listen. This tab doesn�t include any rhythm information, so you�ll have
to listen to the song anyway just to put things together correctly.
A___________________________F#m____________D____________A
My dear you said you sent a letter to me. Never got it anyway.
A___________________F#m___________D
Playin� that guilty game is all I want to do.
A F#m D
Now I lie awake with tequila sunrise, feeling like shit �
A
Surprise, surprise �
A F#m D-A-D-A-D-A
by your lack of impiety.
(Chorus) A Bm D
And there�s really never been a day-dream didn�t leave me smilin�.
A Bm D
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
A Bm D
And there�s really never been a day-dream didn�t leave me smilin�.
A Bm D
There�s never been a dream, not even a wet dream, left me for him.
(Etc.)
There�s something plastic surgery about this thing called a CD,
Something status quo �bout a rolled-up one pound note.
There�s something a bit false teeth, you say, never brushed them anyway.
There�s something credit note �bout the age that you can vote.
Now Dear, you said you sent a letter to me. I think I got it but I threw it away.
Something squeaky clean that makes me�.
(Chorus)
There�s really never been a day-dream didn�t leave me smilin�.
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
And there�s really never been a day-dream didn�t leave me smilin�.
There�s never been a dream, not even a dream, left me for him.
End slide (note names): D E F# A
