JOSEPH ARTHUR - COCKROACH
from "Come to where I'm from"
tabbed by El Flojo
-----------------------------------------------------
Hey guys, I just woke up today with this song and I kinda got in a good mood so I sat
for 5 minutes and tabbed it. It's one of my first tabs but this one wasn't really
to figure out maybe that's the reason nobody else tabbed it so far ^__^
Note: just play it along with the song to get the G - Gsus4 timing
-----------------------------------------------------
INTRO:
G Gsus4 (4x)
VERSE:
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
You're putting poison here
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
You're putting poison here
Bb C
And now you're a cockroach
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
Crawling on bones
Bb C
Pretending your war
G Gsus4
Has already been won
G Gsus4 (3x)
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
You never give anything
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
To any human being
Bb
Unless they
C G Gsus4 G Gsus4
Give you something in return
Bb C
If you get burned
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
You're gonna burn
REFRAIN:
D C
And when you finally go away
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
I'm already gone
D C
And when you finally say what you say
G Gsus4
I'm singing this song
G Gsus4 (3x)
VERSE(same as above):
Your heads in quite a fix
The demon you never resist is coming
And he's leaning against your front door
The neighbors are asking you what it's all for
And still you could never admit
That maybe you could have prevented destruction
As it came out of your very core
My friend you are starting to become a bore
REFRAIN:
And when you finally go away
I'm already gone
And when you finally say what you say
I'm singing this song
G Gsus4 (repeat ad. lib.) G
