AJJ (Andrew Jackson Jihad) – Normalization Blues (Guitar Solo)

||Most of the song is played with a thumb downstroke on the bass string, then down stroke and then
||an abanico triplet, this way: TD-UDD
||For the intro lick play TD only once, and then play all of the pull-offs and hammer-ons whilst struming UDD
||The E lick, play it every time there is an asterisk (*) next to the E chord (remember to keep strumming):

E
I can feel my brain a-changin'

E
Acclimating to the madness

E
I can feel my outrage shift into a dull, despondent sadness

Asus2
I can feel a crust growing over my eyes

               E*
Like a falcon hood

             B7
I've got the normalization blues

   A                         E*
This isn't normal, this isn't good

E
I'm detached and I'm distracted

E
All keyed up and unproductive

E
Vacillating between being all excited and disgusted

Asus2
And then dozing lackadaisically

Asus2                                    E*
In this bubble where I've made my mental home

 B7                                 Asus2
Connection's more important now than it ever was

                    E*
But I'd rather be alone

(strum each once in the E shape [5th fret for A etc])

E
And when we talk about the president

E
We're either pissed off or we're giggling

E
About an atrocity he's committing

E
Or some stupid shit he's tweeting

      Asus2                                                    E*
He's a symptom and a weapon of the evil men who really run the show

             B7                           A                              E**
The ones who melt down human beings into money like a cruel sorcerer's stone

 E
And they try to divide us, and largely they're succeeding

 E
'Cause they've undermined our confidence in the news that we are reading

 Asus2                                                                  E*
And they make us fight each other with our faces buried deep inside our phones

B7                               A                                     E*
Rest in peace to the Information Age, those days are now long dead and gone

E
I can see the weather changing

E
And I can feel the soul decaying

E
I'm observing drastic changes in the way we're all behaving

Asus2
I can see the soothers saying

Asus2                                 E*
Furthermore, I could believe it to be true

B7                                   A
Connection's more important now than it ever was

                           E*
What the fuck are we gonna do?

A                             E
This is the golden age of dickotry

             A                     B7
Probably the last golden age of anything

        A                                    E           C#m
And the ugliest word in the English language is "Anthropocene"

                    E*
Good luck everybody

    E
Good luck!
