Artist: Fruit Bats Album: Mouthfuls Song: Seaweed [http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/fruit_bats/09_seaweed.html] Tabbed by: David Cushman (d_cushman@yahoo.com) The intro can be played many ways with one guitar, none of which are right because two guitars are used. I like Capo VII, picking these chords: C-G-F-G# (Bb-G) Also you could do open-D tuning: (G) (D/F#) C (D#) d:-5-----7p5-4-5--4---2-4-----------------7--8-7---| B:---0...----------...-----3h5-5p3-----8---------8-| G:---------------------------...-------------------| D:-------------------------------------------------| G:-0--------------0--------5--------/8---8---------| D:-------------------------------------------------| Two guitars and a banjo (and a girl) Intro/Verse/Chorus: G, D/F#, C with Cadd9, slide up to D#(x65046) Break: F, D/F# (Verse) If I broke my jaw for you, I'd find a bloody tooth and rip it out Throw it in the water where it float until the river let it out Out across the flood plain, and float until it reach the open sea Underneath the sand and silt and in between the smooth stones and seaweed (Break) Ooooooo, ooooooo Ooooooo, ooooooo (Verse) Ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo, aaaaaah, aaaaaah Ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo, aaaaaah, aaaaaah Love is like a spaceship, burning up when it hits the atmosphere Wishing that for once it might have wised up right and stayed away from here Up in outer space where there's no oxygen and nothing makes a sound. Martians build canals to bring the water and to sail their vessels down (Break) Ooooooo, ooooooo Ooooooo, ooooooo (Verse) Ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo, aaaaaah, aaaaaah Ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo, aaaaaah, aaaaaah Lyrics by Eric Johnson (Fourteen with a Beard Music/BMI)
