Chords

This is the WHOLE song, with the bits of dialogue from the episode played during the solo 1 , solo 2, and da-da bits. The how-to-play video by Voltaire himself doesn't explain it very clearly in my opinion; he has chord fingerings right but his tuning is off and doesn't call the chords what they actually are. Don't get me wrong-the guy's amazing and I have nothing against him! Enjoy playing Brains! Chords Drop C# tuning: C#m- 022000 G#7- x21202 F#m- x02210 C#m- x46654 G#7- 464544 F#m- xx4675 (or x57765) A capo helps but isn't required, put it on the 4th fret in standard tuning if you choose to play that way. Standard tuning relative to capo: C#m- x02210 G#7- 020100 F#m- xx0231 Brains by Voltaire tab Intro/Solo 1 C#m G#7 C#m F#m G#7 (play twice for Intro) Da-da C#m for 2 bars Verse

C#m
Brains, Brains, I love 'em, I need 'em...
My tummy jumps for joy when I eat 'em. Big ones, fat ones, short ones, tall ones, They're so delectable, especially the small ones. No time to cook 'em in a skillet. My belly's rumblin', I got a need to fill it. I don't fry 'em, the heat will only shrink 'em, I'll just grab myself a straw and I drink 'em!!!(ohhhhhhh...) Solo 2 x2 Solo 1 Da-da x2 Verse You've been swell to go around And bring me every single brain in town But with all these brains, I can't help but think That there isn't one left out there to drink. Solo 1 Now fess up boy, come on, Heck! Is there someone that you're trying to protect? Bring her down here to meet her end And I promise I'll be your bestest friend. Chorus BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie, I'll eat her brain 'til she’s zombified. Sure she might think it's deranged But she won't give it a thought After I've eaten her brain. BRAINS, BRAINS, It's okay. It's not a matter if it isn't gray, And if at first she thinks it's strange, She won't think twice If she don't have a brain! Outro
