This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
*Note, when I write Em / Ebm, I'm playing an open Em chord,
and sliding it down to the first fret to give it that grungy sound. Like this:
e|-0 e|-0
B|-0 B|-0
G|-0 /slide to this/ G|-0
D|-2 D|-1
A|-2 A|-1
E|-0 E|-0
Riff#1: (played twice at 0:15)
e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4-4----------4-4----------4-4-----------------------|
D|------7-5----------7-5----------7-5-------------------|
A|----------7------------7------------7-5---7-----------|
E|----------------------------------------7-------------|
I was asleep in a hammock.
I was dreaming that I was a web.
I was a dream-catcher hanging in the window of a minivan
Parked along the water's edge.
I'd say that I was all alone.
I'd say that I was all alone.
I'd say that I was all alone.
But I will never be born as a scorpion.
