The intro is played twice the speed (tempo) of the actual verse! Intro: (besides Shannon's "do do do" thingy) E | G | D (after the D chord, he strums the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings open through-out the song for about a quarter of the timing) E Underlying G D Oh, so more important here E Any kind G D Oh, what ever shakes your thrill E Mark my face G D The air is really heavy now E (let ring) I pledge allegiance so God why don't you come over here The other change of the song is between the 2nd and 3rd verse, like this: C E | C D | C E G (ring) | E G | E G D Continue with E G D for the 3rd verse That's basically the song! I'm not too sure if it's all right, but sounds okay. The D chord in the verse sounds like it has a hammer-on (being Dsus4 000233) but sounds better with the open playing. Enjoy! Thanks for creating a brilliant webpage devoted to some brilliant people!! Lyrics: Underlying Oh, so more important here Any kind Oh, what ever shakes a thrill Mark my face The air is really heavy now I pledge allegiance So God why don't you come on over here D- I- E- D Oh, that's what has happened to you G - R - E - E - D Well, there is nothing more to take Pour the red wine Watch the news, maybe ventilate I pledge allegiance So laddy why don't you come on over here Letters from the porcupine They'll stick straight through you So read one anytime You think you've made mistakes Now we'll wait for later Maybe the next in line will be Someone who's Daddy's blood Ran out next to Bush and to be him ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a paper scratchings tab, please do not post it or link to it on your site, just add a link to my page.
