This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse I:
F Dflat
I've got nothing to say,
I've got nothing to do,
F Gsharp
all of my neurons are functioning smoothly
Dflat Eflat F
yet still I'm a cyborg just like you.
F Dflat
I'm one big myoma that thinks,
my planet supports only me,
F Gsharp
I've got this one big problem will I live forever?
Dflat Eflat f
I've got just a short time to see.
Chorus:
F Gsharp Eflat F-Eflat-F
Modern man - evolutionary betrayer,
modern man - ecosystem destroyer,
Modern man - destroy yourself in shame,
F Gsharp Dflat Eflat
modern man - pathetic example of earth's organic heritage.
verse II(same as above):
When I look back and think, when I ponder and ask "why?"
I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon assuming eternal supply

Modern man - evolutionary betrayer
Modern man - ecosystem destroyer
Modern man - destroy yourself in shame
F Gsharp Dflat Eflat
Modern man - pathetic example of earth's organic heritage,
Dflat Eflat
just a sample of carbon-based wastage
Dflat Eflat F
just a f***ing tragic epic of you and I . . .

Chords:

In the solo, (b) = bend.
So there it is. The solos aren't quite right, I don't think, but they
should be pretty close. Enjoy. --Geoff.
