What I meant to say was: "Why is your life a joke?" Then I went down to that ugly bar and I clicked my heels three times just like you said And I climbed that road to your empty house The anticipation was a turn-on...but you let me down 'Cause I stood on that empty street alone I said, "I'm ready for my close-up now, Mr. Demille." I waited for the light but it never shone Well I wonder what you do with that expensive piece of land that overlooks a billion years of history (I have a sneaking suspicion) You will never understand Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky & Bullwinkle and we can talk to that charlatan psychic and she can paint a prettier picture of your future. 'Cause that day in my life... That day in my life... I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch? You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right." 'Cause that day never should have taken place 'Cause this day in my life still cannot explain Why I listened in the first place to you Oh yeah, something else... I hope one day you call up your father and you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you and he made you hurt another 'cause it makes me sad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 2 tabbed by Mr. Elusive (Matt Hall) with many thanks to the original tabber I've changed the tuning to accomodate the use of the lower notes that a cello can make. The lowest note a cello can produce is a C. That's two whole steps, (four notes) lower than a guitar in standard tuning can produce. But since that note isn't used in this song, it's much easier to tab it out in Dropped Db. This makes the fill in the chorus a lot easier. Tuning is dropped D, down a half step (dropped Db) h = hammer on p = pull off b = bend up (cello arr. for guitar) *sounds best on an acoustic Eb------------------------------------------------------------- Bb------------------------------------------------------------- Gb---------------6--------------------------------------------- Db----------------------------------------------------2h4p2---- Ab----------7---------7------------7--------------4------------ Db----7--------------------7--6----------6---4----------------- Eb------------------------------- Bb------------------------------- Gb------------------------------- Db---------------5b-------------- Ab-----7---------------5---7----- Db----------9-------------------- repeat the above til the chorus (Distorted cello\guitar) repeat this measure once, then play the fill Eb-------------------------------------|--------------- Bb-------------------------------------|------ ------- Gb-*---------------------------------*-|---- fill ----- Db-*--4-x--4/7--7----7\--0--x-0h3--3-*-|------ ------- Ab----4-x--4/7--7----7\--0--x-0h3--3---|--2h3-5p3-2p0-- Db----4-x--4/7--7----7\--0--x-0h3--3---|--------------- Try playing this on a distorted acoustic if you don't have an electric cello cuz, damn! It sounds best if you can get a good, wooden tone and play it with emotion. Get the sliddes right so it doesn't sound like you have frets (cellos don't).
