Generator(Tabs)

	        Versão 1
========

I think this is one of the best songs from the album. 
Tabbed by Dan Aldridge  
(check out my band's website at www.geocities.com/rockband_2000) 
  
Dave uses a Heil Talk Box for the guitar effect, but using a wah pedal  
gets you  
halfway there

(let chords ring out on every verse)  

A5                         E5 
Lately I'm getting better 
F#5 
Wish I could stay sick with you 
D5 
But there's too many egos left to bruise 

RIFF D 

A5                                  E5 
Call it a sin you call it what ever 
F#5 
Eating deep inside of you 
D5 
Well if were me it's all I'd ever do 

RIFF E

RIFF C 

A5                       E5 
Stealing now and forever 
F#5 
I'll steal something good for you 
D5 
But the criminal in me is no-one new 

RIFF E (x2) 

A5                            E5  
Til you find something better  
F#5 
When there's nothing left to use 
D5 
And everything starts going down on you 

RIFF E (x2) 


chorus 

E5  
I'm the generator,  
                    F5 
Firing whenever you quit, 
                 F#5 
Yeah whatever it is, 
                    RIFF F 
You go out and it's on, 
A5 
Yeah can't you hear my motor heart, 
D5 
You're the one that started it. 

RIFF B 
RIFF C 
RIFF B 
RIFF C 

A5                       E5 
Standing out on a tether 
F#5 
Swing me around I'll spin your news 
D5 
You let it down I'll hang around with you 

RIFF E (x2) 

A5                            E5 
Til you find something better 
F#5 
And there's no-one left to use 
D5 
And everyone keeps going down on you 

RIFF E (x2) 

CHORUS 

Play an E chord for 16 beats then.... 

RIFF G (x4) 

CHORUS 

I'm the generator,  
I'm the generator, 
I'm the generator,  
I'm the generator you're on, 
Yeah can't you hear my motor heart, 
You're the one that started it.
