Song: A Boy And His Machine Gun Band: Matthew Good Band Album: Beautiful Midnight Tabbed by: Devil Monkey <[email protected]> This whole song is tuned down a half step, so keep that in mind. You won't be able to actually play along unless you tune down, cause it's not possible, you'd have to play a half-step up. Anyway... Verse:

B5 B5/Bb?              B5           B5/Bb
Don't move, stay right where you are

B5 B5/Bb   B5    B5/Bb
Talking can only give you away

E5                           C#m5
And there's so nothing to say

(Same pattern) The voices say hello Imprisoned, they're invisible

               E5                 C#m5
But we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike

This is boring, all we talk about is you C'mon give me a reason

          E5              C#m5
A boy and his machine gun

Chorus:

E          B   G#m      F#
If you're fi-nished strugglin'

E       B  G#m    F#
Are ya fr-ee tonight?

E        B            G#m
Did they stick you in here

    F#            E (let fade)
Cuz you weren't workin right?

Verse: Don't move, stay just like you are You look sane, motionless like that So very flat It's amazin what velocity can do When human beings are in season

                 E5              C#m5
A boy and his machine gun

                        E5         C#m5
If you're quiet we might see some

Chorus: When you're finished strugglin' Are ya free tonight? Did they stick you in here Cuz you weren't workin' right? E, B, G#m, F# (same pattern) There's a TV in every room And it's free, even pay-per-view Which you'll need if no one's Gonna visit you

E
Animal

C#m
Fuckin' Animal

E C#m

E   F#    B         C#m
I know who you're waiting for

E   F#    B     C#m
            no one's comin' though
