«Rattlesnake» by Live
On the new album, Secret Samadhi
This is a cool song from Live’s latest album. The album’s really good,
but it’s something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.
Transcribed by [email protected]
Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live’s songs.
Builds up with keyboards or something, then kicks in with this…
Intro:
(using heavy distortion)
Dm Dm Dm Dm
Verse:
(using chorus)
Dm
Let’s go hang out in a mall,
A
or a morgue,
G Dm
smorgasbord…
Chorus:
(using heavy distortion)
Dm A G Dm
It’s a crazy, crazy mixed up town…
C G Dm
It’s the rattlesnake I fear…
Bridge:
Bb C F
(ahhh…. ahhh…)
Bb C Dm
Bb C F G G
Solo to the chorus chord progression.
That’s pretty much it; just listen to the song to figure out where
everything goes. Oh, and the outro is the same as the intro.
Enjoy!
