Hey everyone!
Believe it or not, I've just recently discovered "Niandra Lades and Usually Just a
T-Shirt" and immediately wanted to go ahead and attempt to tab Mascara. This is my first tab
but I hope you guys find that it helps you out. Enjoy your playing!
[Gm]There's a belt of sun dripping through a p[A#]orthole
[C]In a set de[Cm]sign
[A#]Can you read your na[F]me?
It's been so l[Cm]ong since we blew from the in[Gm]side
[G#] [Cm] [C#] [D#]
[E]So whe[F#]re have you been since you fell off the flat edge
[G#]Of the world under an ugl[E-F#m]y sky
[G#m]You've been lying[E-F#m] by
[G#m]They came in you, dance under t[E-F#m-E]he moonlight[F#m]
[G#m]Do what you think is the sum
Of the[E-F#m] flesh and bloo[G#m]d
Above there's small birds gone to tre[E-F#m]mbling
[G#m]In for thousands of [E-F#m-E]your years
