"Lost in Germany" by King's X
From the Album: King's X Written by: D. Pinnick, T. Tabor, J. Gaskill, and S. Taylor
Note: 1) The E string is tuned down to D 2) This song has many portions that are "muffled" (or "heavily damped") as well as pull-offs, hammer-ons, & slides. I have not tried to included all of those things here. If I did, I would probably only get it wrong. Use your best judgement... 3) I have tried to show timing under each tab. If you know the song, you probably won't need it, but I included it anyway for the "timing" nit-pickers (of which I am a charter member) 4) If you use the tab, find it helpful, find something wrong, etc, send an email to: [email protected] Feedback is appreciated.
Main Riff (Intro & Chorus)
Verse
Prechorus
Main Riff (alt)
Coming out of the second verse/PreChorus, the main riff is played 4 times, with several different notes being used in the third pass. The third pass is shown here (with the differences highlighted as *)
Bridge
I broke the bridge into two levels of complexity. This way, the less Dexterous guitar player can focus on the melody (bass) line before Attempting to add the "fill" notes.
Bridge: type a) this part shows just the promenant melody line)
Bridge: type b) this part shows all the notes
Main Riff (alt)
The Main Riff at the end of the song has a slight variation every other Time (the 2nd and 4th) time it is played. It is shown below (with the Differences highlighted as *)
Lyrics:
Verse: Moving in a bus too close for comfort Listening to all the gibberish around me wonder! How much longer can I stand it Looking for a phone I cannot find
PreChorus: Ohh woe is me Like a politician in disguise You know I had to look you in the eyes and smile While I crawled another mile in
Chorus: Germany, lost in Germany
Verse: Swimming in an ocean of your feelings Counting every moment go one by one Laughing to keep from crying out in anger Praying that i can make it through this night
PreChorus: Ohh woe is me It was like a never ending week But I learned to turn the other cheek and smile While I ran for one more mile in
Chorus: Germany, lost in Germany Germany, lost in Germany
Verse: Shooting at a target that eludes me Hammering on a nail that just won't go in Biting on a tongue that wants to speak out Searching for a light that I can shine
PreChorus: Ohh woe is me But now I have crossed that borderline and I wonder if I'll ever find your hand `Cause I did not understand in
Chorus: Germany, lost in Germany Germany, lost in Germany
Well... that's it.
I know that I haven't included all the pull-offs, slides, hammer-ons, Etc, but I think that the notes and timings are all fairly accurate.
Enjoy, Good Luck, & remember... Always pillage BEFORE you burn! John Myers
