Notice that I am trying to line up notes with syllables
in the parts with words; however, listening to it is still
the best way to get your timing right.
[Intro] Riff 1 G|--9-8-7---------------------| D|-------9-8-7-5---7------5---| A|-7-------------5---5--3---3-| E|----------------------------| Riff 2 G|--9-8-7----------------------| D|-------9-8-7-5---7------10---| A|-7-------------5---5--8----8-| E|-----------------------------|
Practice these SLOWLY at first, then gradually speed up.
Play:
Riff 1, Riff 2 (twice)
E (seventh fret, A string)
D (fifth fret, A string)
B (seventh fret, E string)
[Verse 1]
Notes are: G# = 4th fret E string

G# A E
another song about how much TV sucks
G# A B
washes your brain of intelligence
G# A E
you sit around all night and day

was life really meant to be this way??
[Chorus] Riff C G|--------------------------| D|-----------------5--------| A|-5h7-7-7-5h7-7-7----7--5--| E|--------------------------| The timing on this one is debatable. Just listen and get it so it sounds good.
Riff C
TV sucks!
Riff C

G#(long) A(long) E(short)

[Verse 2]
G# A E
watching your life go down the tube
G# A B

your life's a show and the show is over

[Verse 3]

a waste of time of a created mind

TV sucks! (yet again)
[Bridge Thingy] G|-------9-7--------------------| D|----9------9------------------| A|--7--------------6-6-9-9-6-6--| E|-------------7-7--------------|
Play that riff four times, then go back to "TV sucks!"
[Ending]
Thrash about a bit (whilst playing the chorus riff),
scream "TV arrgh" and then end on a big ol E.
