This song is just a few simple chords. The beginning picking pattern doesn't ne
cessarily have to be followed.
Just play around with it for a while to get used to it. After the solo then you play
the bridge again and alternate those two different parts 8X. Then end on the
intro.

Lyrics:
need to ask a question
calling out my name
nothing seems to bother me
wish i had a clue
C'mon abuse me more i like it
well i don't think you like me
well i hate you as well
no one seems to like you
wish i couldn't tell
C'mon abuse me more i like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause its true
Throw the sailors overboard
Throw the sailors overboard, overboard

Abuse Me
--------By Silverchair, Written By Daniel Johns, Tabbed by Abe Gibson
Off of the CD Freak Show, Live Performance, and MTV.
In Dropped-D like every song of theirs.
I tried many times to figure out this awesome song but I had no luck
for some reason. Finally I saw them live in Seattle, which rocked, and
saw some kind of MTV production that had them in concert. I taped the
MTV thingy and watched it about 20 times to get it right and then I used
my ear, which isn't great, off the CD to get it 100% right. I think it
is pretty accurate. But anyways:
INTRO: I think they're using a phaser.
