Plastic Surgery Leatherface
Leatherface
Leatherfaceâ??s music is many things: angular, guttural, complex, melody-
driven, rough, overlooked, amazing, layered, lyrical. But it is not, as a
general rule, beautiful. The exception is this song, far and away the
standout track on Dog Disco, and a world away from the serrated guitars that
animate Mush. With its minimal percussion and simple, slinky bass slides,
this song relies even more heavily than normal on Frankie Stubbsâ?? lyricism
and raspy delivery. With Mush Leatherface can be credited with one of the
greatest punk albums of all time (no hyperbole â?? just the truth), and while
Dog Disco as a whole hardly reaches those heights â??Plastic Surgeryâ?? itself
ranks as one of the bandâ??s best moments.
Intro:
A F#m D A A F#m D-A-D-A-D-A*
*A note about this back-and-forth progression, since itâ??s important: this is
most easily (and probably correctly) played with first-position chords, and
is a very quick change that resembles a triplet beat on each chord. Itâ??s
repeated throughout the song, so you have plenty of chances to hear it as
you listen. This tab doesnâ??t include any rhythm information, so youâ??ll have
to listen to the song anyway just to put things together correctly.
A___________________________F#m____________D____________A
My dear you said you sent a letter to me. Never got it anyway.
A___________________F#m___________D
Playinâ?? that guilty game is all I want to do.
[A]Now I lie awake with tequila [F#m]sunrise, feeling like [D]sh*t â??
[A]Surprise, surprise â??
[A](Chorus) [F#m] [D-A-D-A-D-A] A Bm D
And thereâ??s really never been a day-dream didnâ??t leave me smilinâ??.
And as I get old[A] all I see makes l[Bm]ess sense to me.[D]
And thereâ??s really never been a day-dre[A]am didnâ??t leave[Bm] me smilinâ??.[D]
Thereâ??s never [A]been a d[Bm]ream, not even a wet dream, left[D] me for him.
(Etc.)
Thereâ??s something plastic surgery about this thing called a CD,
Something status quo â??bout a rolled-up one pound note.
Thereâ??s something a bit false teeth, you say, never brushed them anyway.
Thereâ??s something credit note â??bout the age that you can vote.
Now Dear, you said you sent a letter to me. I think I got it but I threw it away.
Something squeaky clean that makes meâ?¦.
(Chorus)
Thereâ??s really never been a day-dream didnâ??t leave me smilinâ??.
And as I get old all I see makes less sense to me.
And thereâ??s really never been a day-dream didnâ??t leave me smilinâ??.
Thereâ??s never been a dream, not even a dream, left me for him.
