Mars by Television
Mars
There are 2 main bits; the verse is based around an E D C# B
progression (I think), but playing those chords sounds a bit
weird.
The chorus is 4 repeats of G G G Em Am C B7, with the last B7
ringing out for a bar, big and wobbly.
There are 3 chunks to this transcription; the intro, the
verse and the chorus. The intro is virtually the same as the
verse; the end of each bar is different:
(Intro):
e-|--------------------|--------------------|
B-|--------------------|--------------------|
G-|--------------------|--------------------|
D-|----------------5-4-|------------------4-|
A-|----------4-3-2-----|----------4-3-2-----|
E-|-0------3-----------|-0------3-------3---|
(Verse): (Repeat this 4 times for each verse)
e-|-------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------|
G-|-------------------------------|
D-|-------------------------------|
A-|----------------4-3-2----------|
E-|-0-----------3----------3-2----|
| |
(Verse Bass) |
|E D C# B |
G-|-------|-------|-------|-------|
D-|---5---|---5---|---5---|-------|
A-|-7---7-|-5---5-|-4---4-|-------|
E-|-------|-------|-------|-3-2---|
(Chorus) - the bass just follows the main chords here:
I play the chords open - they're not actually done like that,
but it's too complicated for me to work out. A second guitar
playing the same chords further up the neck would improve it.
G G G G Em Am C B7
e-|-3-3-3-3-0---------------------------|
B-|-0-0-0-0-0-------------1-------1-----|
G-|-0-0-0-0-0-----------2---2-------0---|
D-|-0-0-0-0-2---------2-------2---------|
A-|-2-2-2-2-2-------0-----------3-----2-|
E-|-3-2-2-2-0---2-3---------------------|
^-^-these 2 damped
Repeat this 4 times, and let the last B7 ring out, long &
loud.
And here's how you put them all together:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(No apologies made for the lyrics, & I'm sure they're well wrong anyway)
(Intro)
(Verse 1) (4 x Verse part)
Guess I need some education
Grab some whilst I have the chance to free
Twice upon a time hear yea hear yea hear yea
Plastic bow wow no can't remember... can't remember No.....!
(Chorus) (4 x chorus part)
In my arms she's warm and smooth
All the bones in heaven will...
I'm just a dipstick yes I like that frying but...
That cop, that cop, hey! that cop's from
That cop's from MARS! Aaaaaaough baby
Ha. Mars. Mars
(Verse 2) (4 x Verse part)
Fried bones, in the air (?????who knows, it might be right)
Fried bones, everywhere
Hot bones, made of light
Someone's pulled my skin on my, on my oh Oh OH
(Chorus) (4 x chorus part)

(Chorus) (4 x Chorus part)
(Chorus) (4 x Chorus part)
Finally after the last B7 of the last bit of the chorus,
end with a REALLY BIG trembly EMaj7
