[Verse 1]
Em D5 C G
Shell of an engine, unexplained
C G D/F#
Burst to fire engulfed in flames
Em D5 C G
Breathing exhaust, a heatwave mirage
C G D/F# Em
Nothing to lose till everything's really gone
D5 C G
It's worse than death that life
C G D/F# Em
Compressed to fill a page in the Sunday paper
D 5 C G
I had the shuddering thought
C B N.C.
This was gonna make me late for work
Em D5 C G C G D/F#
Em D5 C G C G D/F#
[Verse 2]
Em D5 C G
Biting a chain, free like a lame
C G D/F#
Oh can you be healed?
Em D5 C
Scratch my knees on the gravel
G C G D/F#
Say it's all part of the deal
Em D5 C G
Coverеd in scars a canyon deep
C G D/F#
It's not like what I thought it'd be
Em D5 C G C Cm G
The gruеsome beauty of your face in everyone I meet
[Outro]
C G
I was on a long spiral down
D C G
Before I make it to the ground
D C G D
I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck
C D G
And kick the chair out
C G
I was on a long spiral down
D C G
Before I make it to the ground
D C G D
I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck
C D G
And kick the chair out
C D G
And I'll kick the chair out
C Cm G
Kick the chair out

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
*For the [4h5-4*] and [9h10-9*], I usually play it as a singular trill.
For example, I pluck the 4, and while keeping the 4 held down, hammer on the
5,
and then pull off the 5 without plucking it. You can decide to pluck the 5 or
not; it sounds fine either way.
I do this same motion with the [9h10-9*].

version 3
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:no capo
Note: I tabbed this riff before there were any live performances of Heatwave,
and after watching live
versions that have come out since then, I realize that this isn't exactly how
Mariah (Julien's
guitarist) plays the intro. Instead, she plays it slightly differently,
starting on the high e and b string
instead of the b and g. I find no difference in the sound of the riff between
my tab and the recorded/live
version, and I find it easier to play this way.

Shell of an engine, unexplained
Burst to fire engulfed in flames
Breathing exhaust, a heatwave mirage
Nothing to lose 'til everything's really gone
It's worse than death, than life compressed
To fill a page in the Sunday paper
I had the shuddering thought
"This was gonna make me late for work"
Biting a chain, free like a lame
Oh, can you be healed?
Scratch my knees on the gravel
Say it's all part of the deal
Covered in scars a canyon deep
It's not like what I thought it'd be
The gruesome beauty of your face in everyone I meet
I was on a long spiral down
Before I make it to the ground
I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck
And kick the chair out
On a long spiral down
Before I make it to the ground
I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck
And kick the chair out
And I'll kick the chair out
Kick the chair out
