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!
Hey fellow Homestuck trash and trashetts! This is the song "Ugly Story" written and
composed by Phemiec. There are only two other renditions of this on UG but those seem too difficult.
Like the tuning and the positions on the fret board. I just thought I could make something a bit easier.
Well, put it in a tab at least for those of you who still like this song and want to play it.
It is very simple. Not much variation. No variation actually. But I think it still has the gist of the song
and sounds somewhat like the song. Your finger placement would be the placement of chords. So the first chord
would be D,C,Em, then Am. That is the finger placement for when you start picking.
Hope you like it! :o)
You play this twice for the intro then just play this throughout the song

[Intro]
D C
I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip
Em Am
And I have a friend I pity quite a bit
D C
She said, “Grab your gun, let's have some fun, share with me your perigees
Em Am
I have responsibilities, I cannot run!”
D C
“I do not wish the death of any living thing,
Em Am
I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen
D C
and put an end to slaughter, but until then I'm keen
Em Am
on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.”
[Chorus 1]
D C
I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules
Em Am
But when have angels ever helped me yet?
D C
And magic isn't real and anyway it doesn't matter
Em Am
'Cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect
[Verse 1]
D C
The angry death of every hopeful thought
Em Am
That I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not
D C
In someone's spider web or net I could be caught
Em Am
But I'm too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot
[Bridge 1]
D C
So what? Do you want me to say sorry?
Em Am
Should I apologize, when you ignore me?
D C
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
Em Am
Or to be hatched into an ugly story
[Chorus 2]
D C
I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares
Em Am
But then I guess I bored them both to death
D C
And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces
Em Am
Better yet invent a brand new method of ascension
[Verse 2]
D C
I'm impressed, you've managed to survive
Em Am
But rest assured we'd all be better off dead than alive
D C
'Cause when they get a hold of us we'll all be batter fried
Em Am
And I'm surprised that nobody's considered switching sides
[Chorus 3]
D C
So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying
Em Am
Any chance of getting back on your good gills
D C
And I don't want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple
Em Am
Well then bleeding's the new breathing, don't you think I will!
[Verse 3]
D C
I used to wish the death of every living thing
Em Am
I might be your killer but you'd never be my queen
D C
So put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams
Em Am
I'm done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems
[Hook]
D C
That I am just pathetic, I won't be overlooked
Em Am
I'm past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook
D C
I've made a manifesto, I've been bested by a crook, but never more!
Em Am
I'm planning on reclaiming what he took...
[Outro]
D C
So what? do you want me to say sorry?
Em Am
Should I apologize, when you ignore me?
D C
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
Em Am
Or to be hatched into an ugly story
Em Am
To be hatched into an ugly story
D C Em Am
Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory
(play the whole pattern once)
D C Em Am
I am a prince and I live in a ship
D C Em Am
I am a prince and I live in a ship
(play the pattern two more times then end with a down strum on D)
For the Hook, You could pull the strings all at once, such as for the bridge/outro or just pick them loud and
fast. Whichever works for you.
