Blaming the Baby
Tabbed by Robert Tabb


C             F            G
I don't wanna give you the time that you give me
C               F       G
I don't want to go to a be in with you
C           F           G
Put me in a box and cut into my psyche
C                 F           G
You will find I'm done before starting with you

[chorus]
  G5        E5                  G5
I know that daddy's reached his prime now
     E5             G5
It's cradle robbing crime but
F#5
I'm too old for Whine

Just get it over with!

[Second verse is just like the first.]
I don't wanna give you the time that you give me
I don't wanna go to the islands with you
Put me in a box and make love to my skeleton
We can snuff my soul and smoke after we're through

[chorus]

[It plays the main riff a couple of times]

[CHORUS]

G                 C  F
    Good boy gone sour
G                 C  F
    Locked in the tower
G                 C  F
    Good boy gone sour
G               C  F
    Paid by the hour
G                 C  F
    Good boy gone sour
G                 C  F
    Good boy gone sour
G                 C  F
    Good boy gone sour

I've got the intro to Butch figured out finally
I'm still working on the rest of it.

    E        G#  A   E        G#  A   F#
e|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------|
G|--1--1--1--5---6---1--1--1--5---6---3---3--3--3--|
D|--2--2--2--6---7---2--2--2--6---7---4---4--4--4--|
A|--2--2--2--6---7---2--2--2--6---7---4---4--4--4--|
E|--0--0--0--4---5---0--0--0--4---5---2---2--2--2--|

The verse is really simple:


E
You eat your heart out, I'd eat it too
A
It burns and blisters, you want it to
E
I never swallow, I chew I chew
A
The darker berry, spit back at you
E                   A
you can't take what I won't need it
E                 A
Takes too long to hear you scream it
[I'm a little unsure about the chorus still]

A5           F#5
    He was a troubled teen
    He read a magazine
    The prince wants to be a queen
E5
Suddenly!

[all the other verses are the same.  The
Whole song is basically E + A over and over again
Just in different ways.

That's really all there is to know.

There is another guitar in there that plays a
different variation of the chorus riff.  It's higher pitched.
I usually play it as:
e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--4--4--4--4-------9--9--9--9--9-------------------|
D|--2--2--2--2--2. . .--7--7--7--7--7. . .--------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|

There is a simple lead part in the beginning but when I
play it I just improvise, I don't know how it actually goes.
It doesn't matter too much I've found, it's basically just noise.

If you have comments or corrections email me above.

I licked the lap of luxury
Bit off enough to chew

That I can spit at you

I feel bad to be good and so misunderstood
About bad and what's good and what's misunderstood
To be had is too good to be misunderstood
It's just sad that I don't have a friend

I crashed the family limousine
  A5                F#5

The chouffer's dead my momma said

Song: The First
Artist: Imperial Teen
Album: On (2002)


Someone oughta do a tab of the lead parts, but until I figure 'em out, this should do.
It appears to be just a straight-up two-chorder.


[Intro]

C...F...
C...F...
C...F...


[Verse 1]

    C
The first

       F
Is the best

        C
And the best

     F
Is a curse

    C
The taste

       F
Of the last

   C
Is sour

         F
But it's blessed...yes, it's blessed


[Chorus 1]

              C
It's the best that you did

              F
It's the best that you did

              C
It's the best that you did

              F
It's the best that you did


[Verse 2]

    C
The taste

       F
Of the past

     C
Is a curse

          F
That will last

        C
And the best

          F
When it's past

     C
Is a curse

       F
It's a curse...such a curse


[Chorus 1]


[Chorus 2]

              C
It's the best that you did

              F
It's the best that you did

              C
It's the best that you did

               F
It's the best, it's the best, it's the best, it's the best, it's the best


[Solo]

C...F...
C...F...


[Verse 3]

    C
The best

     F
Is a curse

    C
The best

     F
Is a curse

    C
The best

     F
Is a curse

    C
The best

     F
Is a curse

    C
The best...


[Coda]

F...and end on C
