Jesus Christ For Dinner by Modey Lemon
Jesus Christ For Dinner
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: F#
Standard tuning
A lot of this song is made up of indescriminate guitar noise (palm muted picking, raking the strings,
a little feedback) sandwiched between a few key riffs, so this tab is a loose interpretation.
[Intro/Chorus/main riff]:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|-----------------2-----|
A|--x--x--x--------0--x--|
E|--2--2--2--0h2h3----3--|
[Verse]:
sounds like muted strums:
e|----------------------------|
B|------x-x-----x-x-----x-x---|
G|------x-x-----x-x-----x-x---|
D|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
A|--x-x-----x-x-----x-x-------|
E|----------------------------|
At 1:38 there is a drum roll and what sounds like fast pull-offs:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-4p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p0------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------2------|
A|-------------------------------------------x--x--x--------0--x---|
E|-------------------------------------------2--2--2--0h2h3----3---|
And at 1:54 a slight variation of the above with a bend:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-4p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p04p3p0-4b--------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------2------|
A|-------------------------------------------x--x--x--------0--x---|
E|-------------------------------------------2--2--2--0h2h3----3---|
At 1:58 a variation on the main riff:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------2--------------x-2-------------x-4--------------2--|
A|--4--------------0-----4--------x-0------4------x-2------4-------0--|
E|--2--------0h2h3-------2-----------------2---------------2----------|
At 2:07 we have basically an interlude of noise (think Sonic Youth if they had been a dirty blues band or
one of Kurt Cobain's noiser, unstructered moments) so you have pretty free reign to get creative.
Around 2:32 something resembling a structure fades back in:
e|--------------------------------------------------- --------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------- --------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------- x4 --------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------- --------------|
A|--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x-x- --------------|
E|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-0- --2br---------|
Worth noting each time you hit the note above you are releasing the pressure on the string to cut it short
to give it a bouncy feel. The bend and release at the end should resemble a gentle, melancholy cow. Moooo.
2:59 "Did you hear about your baby daughter?"
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------2--2----------------2--2----------|
D|--------------2--2-----4--4--4----2--2----------|
A|--4--4--4-----0--0-----2--2--2----0--0----4-----|
E|--2--2--2---------------------------------2-----|
Finally, play the moo cow part again, then the main riff before the big finish:
[Outro] 3:59
