Hot Water Music – Drag My Body chords

Here for a long time, this is my first contribution.

Hot Water Music - Drag my Body

The Song is off the upcoming Album 'Exister', a video is already up on youtube.

The song is based on 4 Chords.                                      (I think, the second guitar    C#       A        B        F      plays the low F)e|-----|  |-----|  |-----|  |-----|             |-----|B|-----|  |-----|  |-----|  |-----|             |-----|G|--6--|  |-----|  |-----|  |--9--|             |-----|D|--6--|  |--7--|  |--9--|  |--9--|             |--3--|A|--4--|  |--7--|  |--9--|  |--7--|             |--3--|E|-----|  |--5--|  |--7--|  |-----|             |--1--|

From the second verse on, the lead guitar plays a little riff like

 (palm muted)e|-----------|B|-----------|   on the C#-parts, and also plays them   G|-----------|   on the A- and B-parts. Listen to the D|--6-6664---|   song, and you'll know, hat I mean ;o)A|--4-4444---|E|-----------|



Not sure about the tab at the beginning, kind of like that.


Well I got my heart up in a beautiful mess

                                   e|-------------|                                   B|-------------|                                   G|-------6-----|                                       D|-----6-------|                                   A|---4---------|                                   E|-------------|


I should’ve known better when I took the risk

                                   e|--------------------------------|                                   B|--------------------------------|                                   G|----9-8---9-8---9-8---9-8-------|                                       D|--------9-----9-----9-----9/11--|                                   A|--------------------------------|                                   E|--------------------------------|


To wreck myself and to gamble while broke

                                   e|---4---4---4---4---4---4--------|                                   B|-----7---7---7---7---7---5------|                                   G|--------------------------------|                                       D|--------------------------------|                                   A|--------------------------------|                                   E|--------------------------------|

Shaking something mental at a loss for the words I’d once known

                                   e|--------------|                                   B|----------5---|                                   G|------6-------|                                       D|--------7-----|                                   A|--------------|                                   E|----5---------|




                                       C#Well I got my heart up in a beautiful mess
                                           BI should’ve known better when I took the risk
                                      C#To wreck myself and to gamble while broke
                                                           AShaking something mental at a loss for the words I’d once known

         C#I traded two steps forward for three steps back
                                         BTo get to know the meaning of showing respect
C#I found the pedestals and burned them down
                                                 ATo kill my idols and to bury the thoughts underground
                            BI’m no longer deaf to the sounds


Chorus:
C#    A            F        BI’m hardly feeling human anymore
C#    A             F               B  Enough to drag my body from the floor

C#Well I got my head up in a critical mess
                                    BFighting like a demon in a shell I possess
C#Gnashing my teeth and speaking in tongues
                                                                AStill shaking something mental at a loss of the words I’d once known
                         BSomething’s rattling my bones


Chorus:
C#    A            F        BI’m hardly feeling human anymore
C#    A             F               B  Enough to drag my body from the floor

C#    A            F        BI’m hardly feeling human anymore
C#    A             F               B  Enough to drag my body from the floor


Intermission:
A B A B

A    Stand to hold steady now
B    To take a breath and somehow
A    Take a step to begin again
B    After all we can only do out best


Chorus:
C#    A            F        BI’m hardly feeling human anymore
C#    A             F               B  Enough to drag my body from the floor

C#    A            F        BI’m hardly feeling human anymore
C#    A             F               B  Enough to drag my body from the floor


A     B                             (ends with Bass)        Stand and hold steady now
