Century
by +Live+
#4 on Secret Samadhi

transcribed by Andy Dufresne ([email protected])

This is one of the cooler songs on the new album. Tune downstep
to Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. All chords are written as they would be
played in standard tuning (ie- the F# is technically an F). I would
make a chord key, but that would take a while and you should all
know these chords anyway. Ok, now the song:


[E]Everybody's here[F#]
puke stinks like[E] beer
this could be a [F#]city
this could be a graveyar[E]d
you stole my ide[F#]a
you stole my ide[E]a[F#]

[E]everybody's anxio[F#]us
for the coming of the cr[E]isis
the collapse of the just[F#]ice
I can smell your armpits[E]
you stole my ide[F#]a
you stole my ide[E]a
you stole my ide[F#]a

CHORUS:
[F#]this puke stinks like be[G]er and everybody's here
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]let's lay [F#]waste to this [E]century[G][F#][E]
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]return to nothin[E]g

[E]everybody's anxious[F#]
the crowd is all around [E]us
the followers of[F#] Aldous
are spinning with their mesc[E]aline
a man behind the altar s[F#]creams
you stole my ide[E]a
you were my idea[F#][E]

(CHORUS)

[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]let's lay wa[F#]ste to this [E]century[G][F#][E]

BRIDGE:
[F#]on the edge of a[G] kiss, smack on the lips[A]
dangled with ton[Cm]gue
[F#]on the edge of a[G] peace that can't stand [A]low
and won't stand [Cm]tall

[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]let's lay wa[F#]ste to this [E]century[G][F#][E]
[G]come on, come on, come o[F#]n
[G]return to not[E]hing, an[G]d help [F#]me
[G]it's amazing what w[F#]e can do with lo[E]ve
[G]with some matche[F#]s and gas[E]oline, [G]do wi[F#]th love[E]
[G]it's ama[F#]zing what we can d[E]o with lo[G]ve[F#][E]

"Century" by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi

This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.

Transcribed by [email protected]

Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.

This is real easy, but here's one of the main chords he uses:

F#7 sus4/E (F sharp 7 suspended 4 with an E bass, I know, I know,
it sounds a lot harder than it actaully is. It's
basically an open E chord moved up two frets.)

eb:---0----
Bb:---0----
Gb:---2----
Db:---4----
Ab:---4----
Eb:---0---- 

Verse:
(using Chorus)

[E] Everybody's he[F#7]re..[sus4/E]. (simply repeat these two chords for the verse,
and listen to the song to get the correct
strumming pattern.)

Chorus:
(using distortion)

this puke stinks like beer,[B]
[(B)]and everybody's here, so
[A]come on, come on, come on,[G]
let's lay[F#] wast[E]e to this
century.[B]..[A][B]
[A]come on, come on, come on,[G]
return to[F#] noth[E]ing...

(again, listen for the strumming pattern; there's some chunk-a-chunk-a
muting on the A chord. Also, all the other chorus' all simply extended
versions of the first, so listen for those changes, too)

Bridge:

[F#] On the edge, of a kiss, s[G]mack on the lips[A]
dangled with tongue[D]
[F#] On the edge, of a peace, [G]that can't stand low[A]
and won't stand tall![B]

That's pretty much all the parts to this song; just piece them together
and have fun!
