Steal My Body Home Beck
Track: 9. STEAL MY BODY HOME
Here is a fairly simple and very underrated song off of Beck's Mellow Gold CD.
Main Bassline (most of the song)
1:----------------------------- 2:----------------------------- 3:-3---5---0---1-------1------- 4:-----------------1-------3---
There is some weird sitar stuff in the back of this, but feedback works
just fine in place of it. :)
Guitar Solo
(actually played on synth but it sounds cool on a guitar w/heavy flanger)
1:-------------------------------------0------------------------1-------- 2:-----------5--------7-------------2----2-------3----------------------- 3:--------5---5----------7-----2-------------3------3-------2------2----- 4:---5------------7--------7--------------------------3-------3------3--- 5:-3---5--------5---5--------0---0---------1---1--------1--------------3- 6:--------------------------------------------------------1-------------- 1:-----------3----------- 2:----------------------- 3:-----4-------4-----4--- 4:-------5--------5------ 5:---------5------------- 6:-3--3------------------
Play twice, then the outro is just F Bb G Bb
The End!!

Put me in a hole in the ground
With the money and the towel
And the woman Annabel
Can't complain about the mess
Momma killed her only dress
Now she's longin' for the pants
Watch my troubles all unwind
Drinkin' gasoline and wine
Catchin chill up the storm
On the train they cannot feel
Lost my head beneath the wheel
Now she steals my body home
The trees are fake, the air is dead
The birds are stuffed with poison lead
And the ground is much too clean
And if it's only me who's scared
Strap me into the 'lectric chairs
Ring the moon like a broken bell
When she drags you from the hill
Daddy's gonna burn down the still
We can watch it from the rooftop
Ooh... (etc.)
guitar break
(C# D# A# B F# B G#)2x
Lay into the fryin' pan
Now she kisses her own hand
With the fiddle on the fire
I took a leap into the fog
Sleepin' on a hollow log
Now I'm coughin' with no mouth
You can keep yourself inside
But you know you cannot hide
When the devil's your only friend
outro:
[F#]ove[B]r [G#]and[B] over with kazoo & sitar, fade
