Missy The Airborne Toxic Event
This is my personal favorite song by my personal favorite band. I encourage you to buy
their stuff.
Some other tabs have said capo on the 5th, I use it on the 4th. I'll leave it up to you
which sounds better.
**********THIS IS A HUGE PART OF GETTING THIS TO SOUND RIGHT****************
For lack of a better term, I'll refer to this as C7, but I know it's not. Simply play a
C, but lift your first finger. Whatever the hell it is, play it like this:
[C7]e|--0--|
B|--0--|
G|--0--|
D|--2--|
A|--3--|
E|--0--|
Together the verse line will be:
[C] [C7] [Am] [G]
That being said, here it is:
[C]Missy got [C7]off the [Am]bus one [G]day
In a [C]crowded dep[C7]ot in down[Am]town L.[G]A.
She [C]looked ar[C7]ound as [Am]if to [G]say "I'm [F]home"
But I'm ho[C]me.
I find [C]someone to l[C7]ove and some p[Am]lace to d[G]rink
And some [C]time when[C7] I can just [Am]sit and t[G]hink
And I d[C]on't mind [C7]if I c[Am]atch the [G]stink of these d[F]rones
Lord of these d[C]rones
Said as [F]long as I'm never al[G]one
[F] [C]
[C]She had eyes as [C7]big as [Am]porceline p[G]lates
And [C]skin as [C7]thin as p[Am]aper d[G]rapes
And she [C]loved the [C7]lord the way an[Am] apostate [G]loves [F]songs
[F] [C]
And she'd [C]sing to [C7]him before she [Am]went to s[G]leep
"I [C]pray to [C7]you my [Am]soul to [G]keep
Your [C]shepard [C7]and I'll [Am]be your s[G]heep until d[F]awn
Oh until [C]dawn"
She said "[F]I'd follow you even if it was w[C]ro[G]ng[F]"[C]
[C]I met her one [C7]night at the [Am]coffee s[G]hop
Her [C]face so w[C7]ide my h[Am]eart just sto[G]pped
Hel[C]lo my [C7]dear I [Am]fear I'm [G]not what I s[F]eem
I'm not what I s[C]eem
I s[C]hould've [C7]been a [Am]better [G]man
I [C]should be m[C7]ore des[Am]erving th[G]an
The [C]beggar, t[C7]hief, and [Am]courtes[G]an I've be[F]en
Oh that I've b[C]een
[F]But I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dre[C]am[G]s[F] [C]
But I s[C]wear there's [C7]still some [Am]good in [G]me
If you [C]stuck arou[C7]nd I th[Am]ink you'd s[G]ee
All the h[C]onest att[C7]empts at int[Am]egrity I[G]'ve been h[F]ad
[C]Maybe if you h[C7]elped me I could g[Am]et it r[G]ight
I [C]lie aw[C7]ake [Am]every [G]night
[C]Staring at the [C7]cieling w[Am]ondering why I [G]feel so b[F]ad
Why I feel so b[C]ad
[F]But I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get s[C]ad[G] [F] [C]
End on C
That's about it. If it doesn't sound right, you're probably playing a real C7 instead of
lifting your first finger. Hope this helped.
