Self-Infected by Katy Perry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okey, first of all. This is my version of the song (made acoustic / easier) and perhaps it dosen´t match at 100% of the original. However it´s a great song and the versions of it i found on the internet was a bit too bright for my voice to keep up with, so i made a tab myself. The only thing that could be tricky is the pre-chorus, it can take some time to get the rythm right there, however the song is otherwise pretty easy. Feel free to mail me forcorrections etc at: [email protected]. Enjoy :D --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C+ is in this case a normal C chord but with the G note added on the thin E string. Just to spice things up a little bit. Like this: 0 3 2 0 1 3
For soloing or riff / fill-making i suggest the G-major scale.
Standard tuning ( E A D G B e) Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret, I got it on 3rd.
Verse:
GEm Remember when I dove into the ground CG And I got a bloody knee under my skin Em A scar from wiping out CC+ It brings back the memories
Pre-chours:
Em7Cadd9 Every bone’s been broken DDsus4 But my heart is still wide open
Chorus:
GDEm I can’t stop, don’t care if I lose BmC Baby, you are the weapon I choose D These wounds are self-inflicted GDEm And I’m going down in flames for you BmC Baby, you are the weapon I choose DC These wounds are self-inflicted DG One more thing I’m addicted to
(play verse) With each scar there’s a map that tells a story What a souvenir of young love’s like Jumpin out an airplane right in a tidal wave of
(play pre-chorus) An ocean Of emotion My heart rips me wide open
Chorus
Bridge:
EmG And I, cover up these scars
(we make up, then we break up*) EmG And I, cant stop seeing stars D (I’m so knocked out whenever you’re around*)
Chorus (play two times)
Outro:
Play the chorus over and over, and just go with the song like:
“Ooh i can´t stop, no i can´t stop”
End on G and fade out if possible -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Back-up singing if possible, ask your girlfriend.
