Ionizes And Atomizes by Modest Mouse
Ionizes And Atomizes
Song opens with Riff A twice then kicks into VERSE 1
Riff A plays through the whole song
Play Riff B once at the end of each VERSE
The Solo is after VERSE 3, followed by Riff C
only notation I used
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
/ = slide down

VERSE 1
She ionizes and atomizes
then she turns into sunlight.
VERSE 2
He realizes and itemizes
pulls harder than gravity.
VERSE 3
She ionizes and atomizes
then she turns into sunlight,
for as sun lightbulbs will
make an absence of dark
but the light just ain't there still,
and she said,
"I am feeling emp-ty-he-he-he,
the real lights can make you hea-vy-y-y.
But never ever really empty."

Good song, really easy and not too much riffs to remeber.
She ionizes and atomizes
Then turns to sunlight
He realizes and itemizes
Pulls harder than gravity
She ionizes and atomizes
Then turns to sunlight
Flourescent lightbulbs will make
An absense of dark, but
The light just aint there still and she said
"I'm feeling empty,
The real lights can make you heavy but
Never ever really empty
Flourescent lights will always equal empty."
