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

Subject: TAB: Freaks by Live
"Freaks" by +Live+
from the album Scret Samadhi
tab by Andy Adelewitz (ada108@psu.edu)
I tabbed this in standard tuning instead of down a half step, as they play
it. It's just as easy either way. If you tune down a half step, just move
all the tab up a fret to play along with the album.
Verse riff:
G#5 E5 D#m G#5 E5 D#m E5
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------| B-|-----9-------------7--------------9----------------------------| G-|---8---8-----9-------6----------8---8-----9----------------9---| D-|-6---------9------------------6---------9--------x3-then---9---| A-|---------7-----6----------------------7-----6--------------7---| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Will you call them Freaks?
D#5
E-|-----| B-|-----| G-|--8--| D-|--8--| A-|--6--| E-|-----|
Just repeat this chord over and over the first time, then go back into verse.
The second time and all after it, follow it with:
Or will you call them gods?
G#5 Bb5 D#5
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G-|---------------8-----------------------------------------------------------| D-|-6---6-6-8-8---8-----------------------------------------------------------| A-|-6---6-6-8-8---6-----------------------------------------------------------| E-|-4---4-4-6-6---------------------------------------------------------------|
The last riff has three chords:
G5 G#5 C#5
E-|---------------| B-|---------------| G-|-----------6---| D-|--5---6----6---| A-|--5---6----4---| E-|--3---4--------|
Play like so:
G5 G#5 C#5
You never looked so high
G5 G#5 C#5
To ever find her so low
G5 G#5 C#5
You did not have to go that far
G5 G#5
To show her you were holy
The little guitar lick behind what comea after that part:
1/2 step bend and release
D-|------/\---------| A-|---10----8--10---| E-|-----------------|

Transcribed by spider@olemiss.edu
Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.
Intro:
(Using a slight tremolo effect)
(This is kind of an arpeggio with Am F and Em7)

If a mother goes to sleep...
Am F Em7 Am F Em7
eb:------5---------|-----------3-----|------5---------|-----------3-----| Bb:--------5-------|-------------3---|--------5-------|-------------3---| Gb:----------------|-----------------|----------------|-----------------| Db:--------------3-|-----------------|--------------3-|-----------------| Ab:----7-------3---|-----------------|----7-------3---|-----------------| Eb:--5-------1-----|--0--------------|--5-------1-----|--0--------------|

1st Chorus:
(Using heavy distortion)
E
Will you call her a freak...
E
Will you call them freaks...
2nd Chorus (and the rest):
(Using heavy distortion)
Here's the riff that's played with the E chord on "gods" and the asterisk:
eb:------------------| Bb:------------------| Gb:------------------| Db:---6--7--6-----6--| Ab:------------9-----| Eb:------------------|
E
Will you call her a freak...
E
Will you call them freaks...
A B E*(riff)
or will you call them gods...
A B E*(riff)
...will you call them freaks...
A B G#
you know your sperm is weak...
Refrain:
G# A D
You never looked, so high
G# A D
To ever find her, so low
G# A D
You did not have to go, that far...
Am F Em7
Am F Em7
That's pretty much all the pieces to this "freaky" song;
just listen to the CD and put it together; it shouldn't be too hard.
