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

Thought we could use a little more Austin artists 'round here.

Ian uses his old strat through a wah and some very heavy distortion.

b = bend up a half step

a-----7--5-----5-----7-----7--5-----------2--------1--------0------b-------|
E--0--------7-----------7--------7--0--2-----0--2-----0--2-----0--3--3-----|

that's how Ian plays it, but I play it a little differently; just feels a

little more natural.

that's the riff he plays all through the tune. you can figure out the

little wah fills; they're pretty basic blues licks. he also plays the same

lick in A, so just move it up a string. during the verses it's lightly palm

muted.

lyrics:

hey look at me now

high wire trapeze, no net beneath

i'm the one that you should know

come let me grope you

just let me know

smile - collect my disease

just give me a smile

cause you sure are pretty

i feel so strong

you could be mine (whispered - wouldn't that be nice)

so have another drink (pause - ahhhhhhhhhh)

and i'll give you pity

just one more drink and you'll be mine

you'll be mine

smile - collect my disease

it does as it please

your flesh your lips your skin

the life you hold within

dizzy i'll twist your round

crazy i'll pull you down

so sweet i'll taste your sin

on down i'll pull you in

make you mine

that's it. if you don't own this album, change that.
