A Boy And His Machine Gun by Matthew Good Band
A Boy And His Machine Gun
This whole song is tuned down a half step, so keep that in mind. You won''t be
able to actually play along unless you tune down, cause it''s not possible, you''d
have to play a half-step up.
Verse:
B5 B5/Bb? B5 B5/Bb
Don''t move, stay right where you are
B5 B5/Bb B5 B5/Bb
Talking can only give you away
E5 C#m5
And there''s so nothing to say
(Same pattern)
The voices say hello
Imprisoned, they''re invisible
E5 C#m5
But we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike
This is boring, all we talk about is you
C''mon give me a reason
E5 C#m5
A boy and his machine gun
Chorus:
E B G#m F#
If you''re fi-nished strugglin''
E B G#m F#
Are ya fr-ee tonight?
E B G#m
Did they stick you in here
F# E (let fade)
Cuz you weren''t workin right?
Verse:
Don''t move, stay just like you are
You look sane, motionless like that
So very flat
It''s amazin what velocity can do
When human beings are in season
E5 C#m5
A boy and his machine gun
E5 C#m5
If you''re quiet we might see some
Chorus:
When you''re finished strugglin''
Are ya free tonight?
Did they stick you in here
Cuz you weren''t workin'' right?
E, B, G#m, F#
(same pattern)
There''s a TV in every room
And it''s free, even pay-per-view
Which you''ll need if no one''s
Gonna visit you
E
Animal
C#m
Fuckin'' Animal
E
C#m
E F# B C#m
I know who you''re waiting for
E F# B C#m
no one''s comin'' though
Now it changes to this:

--4-4-4s7s2-2-2s7s0-0-0s7s2-2-2s7---------|
(over that):
So fuck you and your principals
And fuck whatever made me
Perhaps you think I''m evil
What does it matter if we''re crazy?
Then that part repeats, and you end on G#m
