Going Down

E
I crushed the world I was in
E
I'll destroy the world I will find
E
I'll work the tools with my hands
E
I'll stick the needles in my eyes

E5
And in my celebrations
D5
You were by my side
A E G E G
And now I'm going down

E5
And through the complications
D5
Something inside me died
A E G E G
And now I'm going down

E

E
Bring down the sky with tears
Dig up the earth with my hands
Take a look inside my head
Maybe then you could understand

E5
And in my celebrations
D5
You were by my side
A G D G D
And now I'm going down
E5
And through the complications
D5
Something inside me died



A E G E G E A E A
And now I'm going down

E
So long again, my friend, I guess its time that I should let you know
E
These they come around, I guess it just gets hard to let them go
E
We wait around a while, you'll never seem to find that faith in me
E
You close your eyes and smile, forever I will be.

E
Well I know the way and I will go
E
Well I know the way and I will find
E G E
Its all around me and I told you so
E G E G E
Whirl it around and hear goodbye

E5
And in my celebration
D5
You were by my side
A E G E G
And now I'm going down

E5
And through the complications

D5
Something inside me died
A E G E G
And now I'm going down

E5
And all the big decisions
D5
We never could decide
A E G E G
And now I'm going down


E5
And in my celebration
D5
You were by my side
A E G E
And now I'm going down

Arms So Real

Eb Ab

Eb
Folded into arms so real
Ab
There is something we can feel
Eb Ab
Life’s not horrible all the time
Eb
Smokes and cups and words of rhyme
Ab
Dripping ceiling, lemon lime
Eb Ab
I love you, and that’s all I have to say

Eb
Eyes of green, pavement green, wrap your arms around the scene
Take your love and hold it close the slightest suggestion
Eyes of green, pavement green, wrap your arms around the scene
Take your love and hold it close the slightest suggestion

Eb Ab

Eb
Spinning slightly round
Ab
My head hits the ground
Eb
A seed pops out, rows a thought
Ab
And a sin has falls on you
Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb
With love, with love, with loooooooooooooooooooooooooove, with love.



Gardenhead

B
There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
F#
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
B
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean
F#
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
E
And some you leave behind
B
It gets hard to explain
F# B
The gardenhead knows my name


Sleepy Time

A E
Go to sleep my darling, go to sleep my dear
A E
It’s late in the evening and sleepy is drawing near
A E
My mind is growing tired from December rains and wind
A E
So lets sleep by the fire of orange apple cinnamon

A E A
Don’t you know it’s hard to wait so long
E
And you will be waiting
A B5
I know it’s true
A B5 A
A dead dog will reveal himself to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

E A
A dead dog will save us all
E A
A dead dog will save us all
E A
A dead dog will save us all
E A
A dead dog will save us all


Say Goodnight

Ab Db

Ab Db
Say goodnight, like a ship at sea
Ab Eb
And walk away, from a world that does not believe

Ab Db
Say goodnight, and open up your arms
Ab Eb
It’s a beautiful life, and I’m sittin’ in a jarrrrrrrrr

Ab
So what was me
Db
I do believeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Eb
That my pants are all rolled up
Db Ab
And it’s time for me to give up, my sanityyyyyyyyyy






Props to Stormx, whom I stole the "Going Down" lyrics from. I don't own these songs, nor the lyrics, and they're all ear transcribed (except when I copied and pasted the gardenhead lyrics from nmh.net) and yadda yadda yadda. I think the chord placements towards the end of Going Down are a bit off (the E and G during the verse). And yeah. If you want to play pitch perfect to Arms so Real on this tape, play it like I wrote it. And that's about it. Comments??

EDIT: Looks like my chord spacings and shit aren't as I spaced them here. But I think you've got enough to work with. If not, I'll upload the word doc to rapidshare or something.

This is stellar! But i think garden head is actually Gb (F#), maybe I just suck at transcribing though

sellout, very nice. if you want to email me the word doc, i could probably break them up into txt files and add them to the song index of my site.

stormx, i kinda don't want to post the full tracklist until more of the unconfirmed titles can be confirmed. but one of these days i'll add it to the discography, along with the alfred_hybrid tapes.
