The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread

[drewjoh]

LeLouch: This is the official tab request thread for Daniel Johnston songs on the Daniel Johnston forum... you might be better off finding Zebrahead tabs in a Zebrahead forum. 

[Lelouch]

I merely misunderstood. I followed a random link for the tab to the song I wanted and it lead here. Seeing the words" Tab request thread" I didn't think anything else of it. My mistake.

Lyrics
Every time I think and I do get by
And I have all my friends and I do get high
But every time I can't deny
I'm already dead and I already died
You think that its soup and that its your friend
But its already gone and poop in the end
There's nowhere to go and no way to win
Then you start to fantasize again

Mean girls give pleasure
Its my greatest treasure
Mean girls give pleasure
Its my greatest treasure

You can't really live and you can't really send
And all of your dreams are probably pretend
And nothing makes sense and its over again
And you're already dead and you're dying for sin
Too blind to see and too weak to think
And the angel of death has taken you for a walk
Nothing to say but just small talk
And your head is in a block

Mean girls give pleasure
Its my greatest treasure
Mean girls give pleasure
Its my greatest treasure

You can't really love and you can't really hate
And all of your problems are probably fake
And she tastes just like ice cream and cake
Then you know its not too late
The more that you live the less you know for
And love could wash up on the shore
And it drives you to tears after all of these years
And being rich is better than being poor

Mean girls give pleasure
Its my greatest treasure
Mean girls give pleasure
Its my greatest treasure



**Note syntax and if a line starts with "and" varies slightly from performance to performance**



If anyone has/could work out the chords to "Mother Mom" I would be really grateful (I'm not very good at figuring out piano on guitar).

Is there a good Worried Shoes chords/tab page out there?  There is one on rejected unknown but it doesn't seem to be quite right.

I can't put it on your tab -- you have to pay cash!

Seriously, just FYI, the riff you mention may well have been played by Bill A. (most recently a member of the Meat Purveyors) but the band Texas Instruments as a whole also played on that track, which was one of the notorious demos produced by Kim Fowley (see Modern Lovers; Runaways, etc.). You probably noticed the rather prominent sample from The Runaways' "Cherry Bomb" repeated towards the end of the track!

As I recall, the guys in TI nearly strangeld Dan for insisting on that weird change at the "Hey, Elvis" part -- Bill A. can probably tell ya more about the track if he still pops in here these days...

(If someone can point me to a page that shows chords and their names, I can give you tabs for some songs me & Dan co-wrote. Otherwise, I have no idea what I'm playing half the time!)

[connor0103]

hey i thought of a request- I Know Caspar, off Artistic Vice. anyone know it?

[connor0103]

uh nevermind    i just realized how simple it is.. different request- The Sun Shines Down on Me, off Welcome to my world.

[connor0103]
