Intro: Main Riff x2 (clean)
Main Riff x4 (distortion)
w/Verse Riff (clean):
Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It’s fun to lose
And to pretend
She’s overboard
Myself assured
And now I know
A dirty word
w/Hello Riff (distortion & phaser):
Hello (x 16)
Chorus w/Main Riff (distortion):
With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah!
Hey Riff x2
Verse Riff x2
w/Verse Riff:
I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
w/Hello Riff (distortion & phaser):
Hello (x 16)
Chorus
Hey Riff x2
Solo: Main Riff x8
Tacet 2 Measures (bass only)
w/bass only:
And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
w/Hello Riff (distortion & phaser):
Hello (x 16)
Chorus w/no “yeah” at the end
w/Main Riff x4
