Face Pollution

Tuning - DADGBE

I don't know much of this song except that it is hard to figure out.

Pentatonic scales in this song are great though.

Intro:

|-0-0-0-0-0--0-0--0-000-00--|-0-000-00-0-00-0--0-0-0--0-|
|-5-5-5-5-5--5-5--5-555-55--|-5-555-55-5-55-5--5-5-0--0-|
|---------------------------|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|---------------------------|

Verse: (Gtr. 1)

|---------------------------|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|---------------------------|
|--7-7-7-6--5--5-6p5-6p5-0--|--7-7-7-6--5--5-5-5-5-5-0--|
|--7-7-7-6--5--5-6p5-6p5-0--|--7-7-7-6--5--5-5-5-5-5-0--|
|--7-7-7-6--5--5-6p5-6p5-0--|--7-7-7-6--5--5-6p5-6p5-0--|

*Play around with the G5 chord.

Verse: (Gtr. 2)

|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|---6----5--4~~~-----------|---6----5--4~~~-----------|
|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|--------------------------|

Chorus: (I dont feel like feelin')

|--------------------|--------------------|
|--------------------|--------------------|
|--------------------|--------------------|
|--12---15p12-15p12--|--12---15p12-15p12--|
|--12---15p12-15p12--|--12---15p12-15p12--|
|--12---15p12-15p12--|--12---15p12-15p12--|

For the break just play the intro part once and conclude it with some

scaling like below...

Here's some scaling:

|----------------5-7-5-|---------------------------------------|
|--7-5-------5-7-------|--7-5---5-7-----------5-7--------------|
|------7-5-7-----------|------7-----7-5-----7-----7--5~~~------|
|----------------------|----------------7-5--------------------|
|----------------------|---------------------------------------|
|----------------------|---------------------------------------|

Of course it's mostly adlib....I can't figure the whole thing out. I could

do it but it would take a while.

Face pollution! part: 5/4 time

|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|-------------0--10-12-10--|-------------0--10-12-10--|
|-------------0--10-12-10--|-------------0--10-12-10--|
|-12\-12\-12\-0--10-12-10--|-12\-12\-12\-0--10-12-10--|

I'm not sure about the first 3 notes but it sounds good.

End it by playing the verse riff 4 1/2 times and sliding down from 12th fret.

FACE POLLUTION

I can count it on my fingers

I've got all my reasons not to feel

I'm numb as rigor mortis

Scared by monkey faces

Drowned in shark fins

But I don't feel like feeling

Feeling like you

Now I'm in the mirror

Now it's getting clear
