From "Almost Killed Me"
"I always dream about a unified scene"

A
Payne avenue lives up to its name some nights it's painful and strange.
D
The whole city seemed sane in the day.
N.C.
But some nights it seems distressed and deranged.
A F#m
The east side is where we met with those guys
C#m D
that said they'd get us high but that changed.
E
Now they're down in the basement.
D
They're bashing out his brains.
A E
Kids are getting cut up with the motorcycle chains.

A
St. Paul had it all when we called.
D
They were maxing out on medicine.
A
A shaved head. The blood on the bed.
D
Those guys you'd recognize.
E
They had the same tattoos as gideon.
A F#m
Strong stuff and she had more than enough.
C#m D
She was slumping over smiling and sailing off with cherubim.
E D
the cityscape skins are kinda kicking it again.
A E
They're gonna show these kids some discipline.

F#m
Gideon's been living up in bay city, michigan.
N.C.
He's been workng at the michelin.
E E E E F#m
He got messed up with some messed up magicians.

We got so highsome nights michigan looked just like a mitten
E E E E F#m
some nights we got fried.

Strung out on residuals and visuals and laser shows.

Reach into the speaker and try to hold on to the quarter notes.

A
I always dream about a unified scene.
D E
I always dream about a unified scene.
A
There's james king and king james and james dean.
D E
At a table in the corner of my unified scene.
A
They want a double order of love and respect.
D E
They said they just got back from up in hostile, massachussetts.
A
Girl I've seen your friend,she looks nothing like jada pinkett.
D E
I think you got something in those cigarettes.

F#m A
Gideon was living up in south minneapolis.
E B
He was the cowboy on the crosstown bus.
F#m A E B
All the little phillies at the yukon club are gunning for the goldrush.
F#m A
We got tangled in electrical fences.
E B
We got wrapped up in the indian fringes.
F#m A E
All the little phillies at the yukon club are gunning for the goldrush.
B
They just can't get enough.

That's about 2/3 of the end solo. Quite frankly it's very difficult and tedious to tab.
may come back to it on a rainy day, but it's fairly easy to improve.
