Stabbing Westward was an American industrial rock and alternative rock band composed of Christopher Hall, Walter Flakus, Stuart Zechman, Jim Sellers and David Suycott. They formed in 1985 in Chicago, Illinois and began recording in the 1990s. Their major label debut was Ungod. Sales were sluggish but Stabbing Westward built a solid fanbase by relentless touring. In 1996, their Wither, Blister, Burn & Peel became a moderate success aided by the singles Shame and What Do I Have To Do.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is pretty damn cool. I enjoy it very much. It has a very weird guitar part, but the rest is just basic chords. The intro is also the outro, and is also half of the chorus. You'll see what I mean...
It is standard tuning...
E A D G B E
The chords that are used are as follows...
| E | C | D | E2 | |---|---|----|----| |---|---|----|----| |-9-|---|----|-1--| |-9-|10-|-12-|-2--| |-7-|10-|-12-|-2--| |-0-|-8-|-10-|-0--|
The chord (E) I will use as refernce throughout the tab as a certain riff. And wherever you see The (E) you play that riff.
The "E" riff...
This is the closest I can get it, and I don't think it is 100% correct, I don't think it will ever be 100% correct, unless the members of SW tell me what it is. Use a wah pedal... (distortion)
(E) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------9---------9----------- --9-----9------9--9-9--------- --7-------7--7-7----7--------- -0--0-0---0-0--0-0--0--------- That is the best I can do. It sounds close enough to me... Thats not exactly the precise order. But enough to get you started.
There is a little solo in this song. I can't quite tell if it's guitar or not, either way. I will figure it out. But not right now, it will come soon once I have time, and can get intimate with the song.
Here's the lyrics and when to play and switch chords. Everywhere I go I see your face
And every sound I hear is the sound of your voice
Why are you haunting me
Why are you haunting me (E) play both E's CDE2 Why can't I let you go (E) CDE2 Go
ECD Why are you haunting me
ECD Why are you haunting me
ECD Why are you haunting me
ECD Why are you haunting me
(intro riff)
Everything about me is a lie
At least it feels that way
When I look in your eyes now...
The truth scares the shit out of me
Whoever said love is real and love is blood
Has never felt the way that I feel
What does it matter
What's done is done and I should get on with me life
