Here is an accurate version of Mr. Bungle's coolest song: Retrovertigo. I
learned most of this song by watching the user "leobacodionisio" play this
song on youtube. I learned a little more by viewing some tabs available on
this site. For accuracy of chords, go by my CHORD KEY rather than this
site's interpretation of what it thinks the chords should look like. I soon
plan on playing this version on my youtube channel "Kylork" as a
demonstration. Enjoy =)
note: the distiction between G and G2 is merely finger positioning, but
still important to follow.

Intro: C, C+ x4
Dm F7+5
Before you advertise
Dm F7+5
All the fame is implied
Dm F7+5
With no fortune unseen
C
Sell the rights
F#
To your blight
Eaddb13
Time-machine
Dmadd9 F7+5
While I'm dulled by excess
Dmadd9 F7+5
And a cynic at best
Dm F7+5
My art imitates crime
C
Paid for by
F#
The allies
Eaddb13
So invest
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Am Cadd9 D
Staring into glassy eyes
G2 Bdim7
Mesmerized
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
There's a vintage thirst returning
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
But I'm sheltered by my channel-surfing
Am Cadd9 D
Every famine virtual
Fm6
Retrovertigo

A tribute to false memories

With conviction

Cheap imitation
Fm C
Is it fashion or disease?

Post-ironic
G#
Remains a mouth to feed
C
Sell the rights
F#
To your blight
E E7
And you'll eat

Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Am Cadd9 D
Staring into glassy eyes
G2 Bdim7
Mesmerized
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
See the vintage robot wearied
Am Cadd9 F7 F G
Then awakened by revision theories
Am Cadd9 D
Every famine virtual
Fm6
Retrovertigo
(Yes they really do leave the Fm6 chord just hanging there at the end. But
if you prefer a softer ending, just add a C chord after the Fm6.)
