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-|

|—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

|-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
I fear that I’m in you
Now I’m into plastics
Now I’ve made a mask
It looks like fish heads
But I don’t feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
