KILLER IS ME

(4 versions)


From: Mitchell and Lucent Wilson (TVJH95E@prodigy.com)


I think I got something else for Killer Is Me intro. Ya know how Mike
has one guitar and Jerry has the other, right? Well we figured out the
other part. I don't know exactly how to write it out, but here it is.

It's tuned down a half step, of course.

Eb---------------------0-------------------------------------(12)
Bb------------5-------------5----------------------7--------------
Gb--------6------5--------------6--------8------------8---------
Db----7-------------------------------9-------9-------------------
Ab------------------------------------------------------------------
Eb------------------------------------------------------------------

That 12 in the parentheses is a harmonic.

I think this a more accurate version of the intro to killer is me.
Only two chords are strummed by Jerry on the video.

Tune down 1/2 step

 0-- 0- 0- 0- 0- 0-0-0-0-0
10--10-10-10-10-10-6-6-6-6
12--12-12-12-12-12-8-8-8-8
11--11-11-11-11-11-7-7-7-7
 0-- 0- 0- 0- 0- 0-0-0-0-0
 0-- 0- 0- 0- 0- 0-6-6-6-6

Give it a shot, it sounds right to me.

An improvement on the other one floating around the net that says
the chorus is E to F#. Ah well. -Eric

Ok, first of all you'll need to tune your guitar down a half step:
Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb. All the chords etc are relative to tuning.

     A     F dischord (I'm not sure about the name of this)
Eb---0--------0-------
Bb---2--------6-------
Gb---2--------0-------
Db---2--------5-------
Ab---0--------0-------
Eb---x--------x-------

Those are the only two chords in the verse:
       A             F dis
Don't need a gun,
  A            F dis
Pointed at me,
  A            F dis
No need to run
  A            F dis
The Killer is me....


The chorus is 2 chords, G to F#. Jerry uses sustained 4th notes for variation
   G               F#
Yeah, I'll start over,
   G               F#
Yeah, I can start over,
        Fmaj7
And get over it.......

This is a great, simple song. Another excellent example of Jerry's skill.
The song finishes on an Fmaj7.

Here's my version of the tab, I think it's more correct.

tuned 1/2 step down
 
chord formations (chord names are as in normal tuning!)

       A     Fadd9     E      F#     F#7sus4 (add Bb)    Fmaj7 (add B)

Eb-----0-------0-------0------2------------0------------------0---------
Bb-----2-------4-------0------2------------0------------------0---------
Gb-----2-------0-------1------3------------3------------------2---------
Db-----2-------3-------2------4------------4------------------3---------
Ab-----0-------x-------2------4------------4------------------3---------
Eb-----x-------x-------0------2------------2------------------1---------


intro:          A\\\    Fadd9\\\\\\\  (repeated)

*note that Fadd9 is strummed downwards, then upwards and so on, to
receive that cacophonic outa-tune sound.

Chord progression for verse is same as intro. Listen to the CD to
play along with the rhythm. It's basically:

       A          Fadd9
Don't need a gun
   A            Fadd9   ---->and so on
Pointed at me

Chord progression for chorus is as follows:

E                   F#\F#7sus4 ----->listen to the CD to catch on
Oh yeah can I start over             to when the switches are made
E                   F#\F#7sus4
Oh yeah can I start over
        Fmaj7
And get over it
