Petrol & Chlorine (live) - Silverchair

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: JoHN Nicholas 4/6/07

Email: john37steve@hotmail.com

Tuning: Db Ab Db Ab Db Db

To get this, tune your low E down 1.5 steps, A and D strings down 0.5 steps each, G

up 0.5 a step, B string up 1 step, and high E down 1.5 steps.

Ok, before I get started, let me explain this was the first song I ever figured out for

just from listening and watching Daniel on the Live From Faraway Stables DVD. It’s also

the second tab I’ve ever written. As far as I’m aware there are no other tabs around for

song except for shitty versions in standard tunning. I know it still isn’t perfect

it sounds close enough. This sounds pretty good acoustically too that’s how I play it.

thing, the recording on Freakshow is done with every string tuned down half a step from

this is, however this is the tunning it is played in for live performances (at least on

From Faraway Stables).

The chord formations will be there, listen to the song to get the strumming…

Shouldn’t be too hard if you get the tuning right and know the song…

Sinking through dark black holes

It's never going to end

Open gash in my ribcage

Is never going to mend

Take another picture off the wall

Sinking deeper every time I fall

Each day ends quicker

And my mind gets slower too

As my life just fades away

I wouldn't have a clue

Take another drawer out from the shelf

I'm too weak to do it by myself

Though you had the world at your feet

You could see it, I was blind

Had the perfect job called life

You didn't like it, you resigned

Brain's a square of grass

Growing on petrol and chlorine

With petrol and chlorine

You could see it, I was blind

Had the perfect job called life

You didn't like it, you resigned

With petrol and chlorine

You know just what I mean

With petrol and chlorine

You know just what I mean
