FLOOD-->seBADoh

By Jason Lowenstein

===================

I don't have the original transcription that I made to

this song awhile back, so the verse guitar part is a

guess at best. It sounds okay though. The chorus is

right. The lyrics are from memory. So suggestions not

insults would be nice. Also, when I find the real verse

tab I'll send that too.

(with heavy distortion)

VERSE:

e------------------------|

B------------------------| '^' -> Full bend

G------------------------|
D------------------------|
A---------------------3--|
E-0-0-1-0-3^-0-0-1-0-3---|

CHORUS:

e-------------------|

B-------3-3-3-3-2-0-| As with my other seBATabs, the 1st

G-----2-3-3-3-3-2-0-| 3 chords in the chorus are played in

D-2-5-2-------------| a pattern more than once, and are

A-2-5-0-------------| only written once to save time.
E-0-3---------------|

LYRICS:

The cap comes off the 40oz

The boring cat comes out to pounce

Uncap the joy, I love control

The nightcat flows within my soul

Yeah, all right

Gonna ride with the flood tonight

The girls, the boys(?)

were smoking joints in the car

100 mph through the meadow

I'm ????????? drunk from the get go

Yeah, all right

Gonna ride with the flood tonight

Yeah, all right

Gonna uncap the flood tonight

The nightcat makes me wanna sing

Because I don't feel a thing

Except all the joy in the world

Come on get in the car let's go

Chorus again

The he yells what ever the last line of the second verse is a few times

(I'm so fucking drunk from the go?)

(I'm stoned.......Drunk from the go?) Anyone???

This song is almost as cool as Mike Flood himself!!!
