Cm: x 3 4 4 5 3
G : 3 4 4 5 3 3
G*: x x 5 4 6 3
 
Intro: (each chord is only strummed once)
Cm
Back in the summer of '91
   G
An angel with a lizard's tongue
    Cm                         G    G*
Was screming for a holy broken nose
Cm
Linked to every class of men
G
Sprung out from the sparkling sins
Cm                           G
Leaning on the cold electric stove
 
Chorus 1:
             Cm     G              Cm
On a country road I swerved to the side
                  G       Cm
Trying to avoid a country bumpkin
                      G             Cm
Everyone's in line to meet with the man
                           G   Cm
Who blatantly inspired his generation
 
Bridge 1:
                    Fm
When they shake his hand and their fingers explode
                  G
Breaking both our necks by the tips of our toes
                  Fm                      Cm
Then they turn to me, cause you died I suppose
                    G
But I can't seem to glance fast enough to be sure
 
Chorus 2:
               Cm         G            Cm
Back to summer days, cold hands on the beach
                      G         Cm
Memories of thrills designed to please you
                         G                   Cm
Down the fragrant path I strayed towards the bath
                    G       Cm
Suddenly I lived to learn to feed you
 
Bridge 2:
               Fm
Down on bended knee, where I've been for a while
               G
Set the record straight in the old fashioned style
               Fm                              Cm
Never took too much, though I should have made more
                 G
You are still my friend, though you were not before
 
 
Instrumental
End on Cm

nice tab, but: for that riff 1, try this: e|---3---3---3---3--- B|------------------- G|-0----------------- D|-----3---1---0----- but i think it's actually played with a capo on 3rd fret: e|----0---0---0---0-- B|-/5---3---1---0---- G|------------------- then the other chords would be: Am x02210 instead of Cm E 022100 " " G Dm xx0231 " " Fm E7 022130 " " G* (aka G7) and the chords for the instrumental ending are: Cm G G* riff1 x2 + Cm or with capo 3: Am E E7 riff1 x2 +Am thanks for your tab.
